It's been a hot minute since I popped in last week with my summer living room decor ideas but a few things caught my eye last weekend, and I had to share. A couple of weeks ago, I had a speaking event out in Napa, CA, and realized I need to upgrade my luggage, especially while solo traveling. While the beautiful vintage leather me[...]
Nothing like some mid-week distractions to really pass the day away. Am I right? Every morning and evening I'm perusing Pinterest, reading blog posts, scanning new catalog and magazine arrivals, and ooohing and aaahing over pretty things. Sometimes I share them on Snapchat (like my spa night last Saturday or my blunders in self-tanning),[...]
Let's take a mini-vacation to Camp Wandawega in Elkhorn, WI. I've been dying to share our yummy weekend getaway, but after arriving home, I immediately unpacked and got to work processing the photos. Magical, Camp Wandawega is just magical! I just can't stop gushing about it. It was quiet, cozy, quaint, and everything we wanted it to be![...]
A month ago I was enjoying some R&R in Hawaii and oh how I miss it so! Because we left for 2 weeks and half of our vacation was spent with my husband's co-workers, I had to pack smart...and that included my carry-on bag. It got me thinking, what makes the perfect carry-on? This flight in particular was about 10 hours because I'm not a[...]
Reluctantly, I’ve returned home from a two-week holiday in Maui and Kauai. Every year The Boy and I try to get away, and Maui is usually where we end up, our safe spot so to speak. Our easy spot. To plan a trip somewhere new with 2 small children can be a chore, even when going without the babes…we use to be so spontaneous, and sadly[...]
“Why doesn’t technology work!!!!!!!!” This is what I was screaming in my office a month ago, literally having a tantrum much like my 4-year old’s display of displeasure. Camp Wandewega was giving me a full-on panic attack. I texted The Boy, called his office phone, called our home phone, emailed, left multiple messages, telepathi[...]
For our new year’s celebration sans kidlets, The Boy and I decided to staycation in Logan Square in Chicago. We rented a small room above Longman & Eagle. I have to say; this might have been the most hipster hotel I’ve rested my pretty little head at. We stayed in Room 55, which happens to be the largest of the six rooms availabl[...]
Every once in a while, I have a day where I enjoy retracing my steps…time traveling a bit. Lately, I’ve been thinking back to our honeymoon. Since my husband’s family could not fly to the States for the wedding, we traveled to them for the honeymoon. Most of our time was spent in a quiet farm town in Germany with Oma and Opa, but w[...]
