In fact, if you google me right now, apparently I’m shilling Accutane without a prescription. It’s a little creepy. In fact, it’s more [...]

Fall in Chicagoland is marked by many distinctive things. The changing of leaves is one, as is the cooler temperature, and the obligatory pumpkin spice latte from Starbucks. In more recent years (since college to be honest) it’s not officially fall until I go apple picking. There’s something about grabbing fresh apples right off the [...]

My family and friends were beyond generous with their time and gifts, and I’m so lucky to have them all in my life. The lovely Gina tagged me in the 7 Links blogger post survey thing that’s [...]

But, I spent SO much of yesterday taking fun pictures and counting things, just for this post, so here goes nothing… 198: Campers [...]

It all happened in a food-induced blur: I volunteered to host the next meeting of the Traveling Pans way back in March. Sure, I could host in June! Sure! Eight people could easily fit in our dining room! And the next thing I knew, we were actually planning the event. One fun thing about hosting [...]

I never thought that this little blog of mine would bring me so many friends and opportunities. I’ve met some truly amazing people, and had some extremely cool experiences. Back in January, Christina contacted me about taking her and her new fiance’s engagement photos. I’d only ever done one other official photo shoot for a [...]
