Another weekend for the books! How was yours?
Ours was anything but laid back but I'm still grateful for some time off because it is truly Monday! As soon as I looked at my phone this morning, I immediately wanted to slam it back down vs. face a mountain of emails and logistics that I have cut out for me today. Monday, you are quite the heel, I tell ya.
Read MoreI've known Sam for a year now. That's not to say we weren't in the same room or events previously, but in terms of really knowing her...for sure the last year. And the more I get to know her, the more awestruck I am with her real, genuine character. She's not just a pretty girl with brains...she's one of the girls everyone wants to be friends with because she makes eye contact with you and is ACTUALLY listening to what you're saying. Novel, I know. She's warm, funny and laid back. The formula for just an awesome person.
Read More"Spectacular" doesn't do our Sunday dinner enough justice as I recollect all the amazing bites we had this past weekend at Sullivan's. If you haven't tried your hand at this amazingly, refined steakhouse...you're missing out!
Sunday marked our second occasion and previously scheduled date day but....surprise!...our sitter cancelled due to a stomach bug. I seriously contemplated canceling our reservation but thought better. Why not bring the kids along and teach them what refined dining is really like? Let's expand those tiny taste buds beyond burgers and hot dogs, shall we?
Read MoreI've gone shopping so you don't have to this week. You're welcome!
Craving citrus and frozen treats as the temps soar today.
Read MoreToday's Fearless Friday interview is one that warms my heart. Katie turned a passion project into a company with the mission to lift up women in one of life's most trying obstacles...infertility. It's more common than not that today's woman experiences infertility issues with the rate we are all moving at combined with stress levels.
Read MoreHey babes! Today is a special post dedicated to a topic I'm very passionate about - WINE! In fact, I'm sharing an amazing local event that you must attend next week AND giving away two tickets to two lucky readers. How's that for your Thursday morning?
Coffee? Pshhhh...let's get to the good stuff!
Read MoreI haven't forgotten about blogging. I swear. It's just...well, I really needed some time off and that came in the form of a holiday weekend. It was SO nice to unplug and not worry. Just be present! I talk a big game but it's rare that I really follow through all the way.
How was your weekend by the way? From concerts to BBQ's to parades, birthday's and fireworks...I was one happy but exhausted girl and so was my little family. The proof? My little ones woke up at 9:15am today which they've NEVER done...ever. In the history of being alive! The house was so quiet!
Read MoreThey don't call it the Windy City for nothing! Actually, the wind, as in the weather, has nothing to do with our beloved name but that's a different story for a different day! Let's talk about this dress! We are well into the infatuation phase. Yup, we move fast!
I am obsessed with the bright pop of neon and the deep V back. It's everything I could want in a summer dress and more! I suppose this would make me a very simply human being but hey, so be it! At least it's not another off-the-shoulder, right?
