Duh, Duh….Duh, Duh….tune ring a bell??? This is the infamous theme song to a movie that has a creep factor of 10+. Yep, I’m talking about JAWS. It’s the movie that makes you fear the ocean and never want to stick even a toe in the water again. Well, fast forward now about two decades and the movie OPEN WATER has been released, once again freaking out the general public, which includes of course, ME!! Why all of this talk {Read More}
One Year…
full of childlike fun, excitement, laughter, adventure, exploration, learning, growing, changing, forgiving, understanding, accepting, helping, reflecting, and most importantly, LOVE! Kyle and I have been married ONE YEAR. Can you believe it?!? It feels like yesterday when I walked into the beautiful church on June 26th in the dress I couldn’t wait to wear, surrounded by all the friends and family I love so much, anxiously awaiting to walk down the aisle and marry the best husband you could ever {Read More}
Sweet home…
Oh, Chicago….how our love/hate relationship continues. There are days when I love being in your presence, for all that your beautiful city has to offer!

A is for…
Alice, and her husband named Albert, they live in Alabama and always act like animals. Remember this game…..the alphabet game! Yes, the one you would play on LONG road trips when going on vacation with your family, three kids smushed in the backseat, annoying the heck out of their parents with this lovely A to Z game? If you haven’t played it, look it up. It’s a good one to add to your list 🙂 Anyways…..A is not for Alice {Read More}
Big Green Monster
Nope…not a movie cartoon character. Monster’s Inc. is cool and all, but…. I’m talking about the egg…the BIG GREEN EGG. It’s our new grill and our new little friend that we will heavily rely on this summer. That’s right….it’s all about bbq time!! One of my absolute favorite parts about summer is hanging out with friends and family….of course being accompanied by bbq food. Being outside on your deck, sun shining in your face, and a burger on your {Read More}
