Tonight we had the “moms” over for a small dinner party for Rick’s birthday. The plan was to eat outside but with a storm brewing, I realized we may need to move the dinner inside. I had just taken down my summer tablescape to make way for fall decor. With the chance of our dinner …
If I’m in the kitchen cooking and going so far as to share a recipe then you should know two things. One, it’s easy and two, it’s yummy. I am not a kitchen person. AT ALL. Put me in a kitchen to decorate it but not to cook in it! However, I sucked it up …
What I miss most about living in Chicago is the wide variety of both shopping and food. I still crave Numero Uno pizza, Portello’s Italian beef sandwiches and Ricobene’s chicken vesuvio.

Due to COVID-19, wearing a mask in public is necessary and really important. When wearing masks ½ of our faces are covered including one of our best features, our smiles. This is unfortunate since our smiles are a big indicator of expressing ourselves positively to other people. With half of our face hidden, we can …
Starting today, for the next 72 hours J Crew is offering an extra 72% off sale styles and 25% off full price styles! WOW! With the kitchen project on hold I’ve been spending a lot of my time (like daily) scouring the J Crew website for the best deals and the best inbetweener styles (stylish …
Everything you need to know Are Rothy’s shoes worth it? Decided to give Rothy’s shoes a try and bought my first pair at the beginning of the year when I was searching for a slip–on casual shoe in bright white. Word on the street is Rothy’s brand shoes are super comfy, have no break in …
