Things I Look Forward To Each Day

I am not starting my weekly post with "happy Tuesday" for the first time in forever. I feel pretty excited about that. I must be getting a little more creative haha. This week I am sharing some things I look forward to each day (and week for some of these things). Tearing off the previous…

My Favorite Coffee Shops in Chicago

One of the things I miss the most during these weird times is going to coffee shops throughout the week and on the weekends. I can make my own coffee at home, and I do, but I absolutely love trying new coffee shops to spice up the week. I love when coffee shops have signature…

Exploring Andersonville

I hope everyone had a great weekend! I was home in Chicago for the weekend. Connor and I decided to head to Andersonville on Saturday to explore a bit and get some coffee (that was our main reason for going haha). We got there around 12pm and walked around until about 3pm. We drove there…

August Favorites

I haven't done a favorites post in awhile, so here we are! I am sharing some of my favorite things from August (and probably before August too). 1. Nest Diffuser: I got mine at Nordstrom Rack. I think they are normally $50, but they are only $25 at Nordstrom Rack! I have the Japanese Black…

Another Weekend In Chicago

Happy Sunday night! I am bringing back a classic post that I always used to write. I realized that these can be fun and semi helpful. Depending on what I do on the weekend, these can provide Chicago recommendations, or even just give ideas of fun things to do on the weekend! Connor and I…

Seattle Trip Recap: Day 1

As promised, I am sitting on the train to work writing this post. I think I will split it up into 2 or 3 posts so it's not super long! As some of you know, Connor and I went to Seattle, Washington this past weekend. We flew out Friday morning (way too early haha), explored…

Weekend Trip to Detroit

Happy Monday! Changing things up this week with a Monday post. Honestly, I was so tired yesterday when we got home from Detroit, so I knew this post would have to wait a day or two. Anyway, Connor and I ventured to Detroit, Michigan on Saturday morning. We got kind of a late start, but…

I Have Been Waking Up Earlier and Staying Up Later

Per usual, I'm a bit off schedule on my blog, but we all know I'll make it up for the missed posts at some point. I feel best about my posts when I feel inspired to write them! I like a schedule, but I also like writing my thoughts as they come to me. I…

Current Favorites

I usually do these at the beginning or end of the month, but here we are in the middle of February with a favorites post. I got a few gifts for my birthday and Christmas that I have been loving. There are also some other random things thrown in here. I linked most of the…

Favorite Food in Chicago (So Far)

Here with a food post! I have tried a lot of different restaurants, coffee shops, and dessert places since moving to Chicago. I discovered a few favorites last summer that are still my favorites, but also some new places that I know I will keep going to many times. I have already been back to…

Highlights From My Weekend in Indiana

Weekend posts late on Tuesday nights are becoming a regular thing. I should really get back to posting them on Sunday nights. Anyway, I went home last weekend for a wedding. The weekend went fast, but it was relaxing and nice to drive around in a car rather than taking the train or walking everywhere.…

7 Things I Did This Weekend

1. Went for a relaxing run around my neighborhood. The weather was perfect and I felt so energized. 2. Tried a new coffee shop. Connor and I went to First Sip. My friend Emi recommended it. We got "falling pumpkin" and "orange blossom" coffees. 3. Tried Strings Ramen. I got a veggie option and Connor…
