BBQ
We decided to spend Memorial Day weekend back home in Chicago. It was a great chance to relax with our families, enjoy summer time meals, and get outside. Dillon and I have a habit of hoping for super relaxing weekends with no commitments. But, we always end up trying to cram as much as we can. …

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…

Bullet Journal
While browsing Pinterest, I came across the world of bullet journaling. It is a mix of hand lettered to-do lists, calendars, notes, correspondence, trackers, organizers, reflective journal, and catch all for life’s daily busyness. I really liked how I could customize the pages to my working and ongoing needs, while serving as a place for…

New Crib
Dillon moved into 222 almost a year ago. Within that week he landed an incredible job, bought a car, and signed a lease on an apartment. Impressive. We knew I would be moving in come 2016. What we didn’t plan for, was our move into a new apartment before this summer. Between timing, location, price,…

Portland, OR – Day 3
Our final day in Portland. How bittersweet. We had some fun things to look forward to, but ultimately we knew we were headed home that day. There is always a small sense of relief when you get to go home from a trip, but I could have stayed quite a few more days. There was…

Portland, OR – Day 2
Thanks to Dill’s frequent travel for work, we were able to rent a car. Wow did that open up the possibilities. We were able to leave the city center and really explore some of what Oregon has to offer. After some Stumptown coffee, from the original location on the East Side, we set out for…

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…

Kale Train
A few months ago, I hopped aboard the kale train. For this picky eater, it was quite a leap. But, it has allowed be to really branch out with some new snacks and meals. I like my kale baked in olive oil for about ten minutes, then sprinkled with some parmesan. Or I can toss…

Winter Winds and Frozen Lakes
February has rolled right around in the blink of an eye. Now, college is completely done for both Dillon and I (I took just a bit longer than expected!), unless of course one of us is crazy enough to jump right into grad school…stay tuned. D has been working hard at his new job for…

FEYONCÉ
I cannot tell you how excited and thrilled we are to be engaged. We are knee deep in planning, but I have still not come down to earth yet since the day Dill proposed. I truly feel like I am on top of the world. I am sure Beyoncé feels that way once in a while,…
