Lucille
Lucille opened up just over a week ago here in Madison. The location is perfect. Right off the square, and walking distance from our apartment. This kind of place is totally our vibe. Farm tables, funky booths and chairs, killer light fixtures, live music, and great food. The windows and doors open up on both…

Sunday’s Snapshots
The sun made its way out this weekend. After a day trip to Chicago on Saturday, we were ready to enjoy the weather. Sunday was spent cleaning up, doing some projects and spending time outside. Colectivo was just the ticket for a midday snack. Finally, a place to satisfy my ballpark pretzel cravings. Blue skies…

Bridesmaid Proposal
A number of weeks ago, Dillon helped me get my bridesmaid proposal boxes in order. With Pinterest on my side, I wasn’t short of ideas. D and I love creating things. DIY projects, photos, videos, dinners, our save the dates, you name it! So having his visual brain helped big time as I put the boxes…

Portland, OR – Day 1
Things were just meant to be when we started planning our trip back out west. With free airline miles, hotel points, and rental car credit, this trip was an easy one to get on the books. We knew we wanted to go someplace new, so we decided on Portland, Oregon. The plan for the trip?…

Au Naturel Easter Eggs
This Easter weekend was such a productive time spent back in Illinois. I drove home Thursday and was non stop until my drive back to Madison with D on Sunday evening. It has been a while since I have been that busy, but I will say it was worth it. Lots of fun things happened, and…

Signs of Spring
We took a walk around on a Saturday afternoon and just enjoyed the city as it was in all its cloudy glory. It wasn’t particularly warm, but for Wisconsin, it was a lovely day. It is officially spring. The earth is perking up. I so look forward to fresh blooms and sunshine and brunch outside around…
