{Dabble Me This Photography } I would love to write a more exciting post today, but unfortunately there’s just not enough time. I couldn’t be happier that it’s Friday and the weekend is only a few hours away, even though…
I hope everyone had a great weekend! The weather was wretched in Chicago- it was simply a weekend to get things done around the house and watch back-to-back episodes of Law & Order SVU… I was browsing Terrain’s online shop…
How was everyone’s weekend? This weekend we managed to finish all of our errands and have time to “play” and enjoy the brisk fall weather. Saturday called for errands and a DIY. Our apartment has a gas fireplace but no mantel (I’d like…
It’s going to be a cold, cold weekend in Chicago. If you’re trying to find me, I will be permanently seated here… No, seriously. I’ll be catching up on reading, event planning and staying nice and cozy with the husband. I’m…
Another night at Redbox and the selection is looking grim. Petar’s looking for masculine action movies and I’m hoping to come across unrealistically happy chick-flicks. In other words, the usual Friday night. I finally picked Hysteria, so we wouldn’t…
I hope you all had a seriously fabulous weekend! It was the perfect fall weather here in Chicago; our final days of an Indian Summer. It was a great way to say goodbye to September and welcome October with open arms. This…
It’s Friday! Yesterday won the award for the longest day of the week. Holy moly- it felt like it would never end. On a happier note, the day did end and low and behold Friday is here, yet again. Did…
It was so nice to have an extra day this weekend to do, whatever. Petar and I decided to take a mini roadtrip out to Poplar Grove, IL and do some fruit picking. One more thing to cross off our summer bucket…
Happy Friday! If you haven’t checked out my Facebook page yet, I have revealed our next two destinations this year! Petar and I will be heading over to Europe for a 10-day vacation this Thanksgiving. With limited number of vacation…
I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! Our Ravinia picnic was a success- even though it was beyond crowded, we managed to find a small nook under a tree where we cuddled up and listened to the sounds…
Happy Happy Friday! I am so glad the weekend is here! At the beginning of the summer, Petar and I made our summer bucket list- ten things we would like to accomplish this summer. We did manage to enjoy…
{ Neat Feet Spa Blog } I consider myself to be an experienced traveler; I’ve met a great deal of people, seen many of the world’s sights and have amazing memories and photos to prove it. This however, was…
In the thick of planning a trip for a client to Italy, I always get so excited to experience some of my favorite destinations, all over again, through their eyes. It also happens to be one of my favorite destinations for a solo trip; a surrender to the senses, to la bellezza in all its forms. The Italians just do it right. Mentally revisiting some of my favorite spots in this itinerary, including an idyllic stay in Porto Santo Stefano.
One of the more relaxing weekends I’ve had in a long time. A reminder that they shouldn’t be so sporadic and few in between. As I slowly ease into the new year, and in an effort to return to the joy of writing, there’s a new post on welcoming 2024 - how I’m planning on filling my cup this month, what I’m looking forward to and more simply put, a monthly check-in with myself and with all of you. x
I’ve been holding on to our wedding photos like a secret note in my pocket I just wasn’t ready to share quite yet. I wanted to hold on to the feeling a bit longer, before the moment felt fleeting.
After endless months of planning, weekly budgeting and saving, all the stress, our wedding day was a beautiful coming together of cultures, traditions and worlds. We were showered with love from near and far and we never lost sight of what this day was truly about – celebrating our unexpected love story. A story we will continue to celebrate.
Sharing with you today a small and intimate look at one of the happiest moments of our life together. I really do feel so very lucky to call this man my husband.
Thank you to @nicolettazarifi for capturing our special day on film and to @feelyourfilms for bringing them to life in a video we’ll cherish forever.

I spent the last week back in Chicago after two long years and while I crammed in way too much in 10 short days, I left feeling recharged and at peace...
I got to spend time with my mom and stepdad, even though it`s always too short and too fast; rented my apartment to a lovely couple; saw friends I haven`t seen in years and hit up most of my favorite spots including eating an excessive amount of Chipotle. Chicago weather behaved for us and even put on a fabulous Fall show, my favorite time of year.
And while I know the reasons why I chose to leave Chicago, it doesn`t mean that it`s not still a very important part of my life and of who I am. It seems, sometimes you need to leave home to truly find yourself. I was able to share all these amazing moments, in my (other) city, in our other home, with my husband, family and friends. I know how blessed I am and I never take this life I`ve built for granted.
A small ode to my other city, sweet home Chicago!

Proud to have been able to pen this piece for @hello_going as @airserbia rolls out their first direct flights between Serbia`s capital city of Belgrade and the "Windy City" - and my hometown of Chicago -after a 30-year hiatus.
While this article is meant to act as a comprehensive guide to flying Air Serbia; it is also a nod to Air Serbia’s long history and authentic culture and cuisine making it an affordable and competitive option when looking to hop the pond.
Finally got around to writing the first - of many - posts on Morocco while taking gardening tips from the beautiful Le Jardin Secret - a lush, green oasis in the heart of the medina in Marrakech. #mangogirls
