It’s been a while since I’ve updated you all. On life, that is. I feel as if it’s been a while since I’ve updated myself. I just got back from my trip to Italy and it felt like the 5…
Lately, I’ve been running on empty. Hungry to do so much, needing to check off everything off my to-do list but not making any time to refuel and recharge. I’m guilty of filling my time with things to do; staying…
Energy is a notion I haven’t given much thought to but one that seems to constantly be swirling around me. Over the years, you tend to look back and notice a pattern about your life. Not only about yourself, but also…

I’ve never been one for big birthday celebrations. I prefer my own intimate group of people, enjoying each other’s company and celebrating with a new experience or at a new place. We contemplated all the typical birthday scenarios; brunch, dinner…

After a much-needed hiatus (and a failed hard-drive), I’m reminded that some of the best moments are the ones that go undocumented. Much like the Sunday afternoon I spent at the Art Institute gardens swaying to an impromptu milonga. Thanks…
Good morning! Hope you all had a fabulous weekend! The weather was a-mazing in Chicago and I spent as much time outdoors as I possibly could. I forgot what warmth felt like! I spent the weekend in the burbs, which…
Good Morning! How was everyone’s weekend? I had one of my best friends visit me from New York with my godson and all weekend long my house was filled with babies and puppies! It was so much fun and I’m…
Good Morning! How was everyone’s weekend? I managed to come down with something and was feeling pretty crummy so I lounged around at home. But don’t you just love when you still have to be an adult even when you’re…
Another glorious weekend in the books! And it definitely helps that it’s sunny and warm this Monday morning. This weekend was so much fun and just reminded me that summer in Chicago is my favorite. There are so many…
