An Ideal Weekend After Quarantine
Leaving my house and having a whole weekend to do whatever I want sounds pretty crazy at this point. I have been home pretty much all of the past 2 months.

Summer Bucket List
Summer is almost here! It has been feeling like summer a couple days a week in Chicago (lol it is like 80 degrees once a week and the rest of the time it's either raining or freezing).
