One week in to our new chapter and I have an abundance of gratitude for this move. It's funny, many of the stereotypes I'd heard from people (who don't live in Texas) before we moved, don't seem true at all. It's so green and lush here! The variation in the trees...
We are officially Texans! My oh my was it a long journey to get here. We packed the moving truck in Chicago on Thursday, cleaned all night, and put our bed down in the living room for 3 humans and 3 dogs to sleep in before driving to Dallas in the morning. Except...
What a week this was, on so many levels. The high was sneaking in a date night on our last weekend in Chicago, then grabbing Grey and walking home past-bedtime to see all of the spooky Halloween decor in the dark. The (incredibly low) low was losing a longtime...
We are officially in final countdown mode - moving in less than two weeks! When our offer was accepted on the new house and it started to feel real, we made a "leaving list" of all the wonderful things we wanted to do before saying goodbye to the midwest. This...
I'm doing a challenge today, and if you're game to join in, I would so love a partner in crime. Well, a partner in praise I guess it would be. Last night I got into this overwhelmed funk and was complaining more than usual. I woke up this morning and decided I...

Well hello there, friend! Thank you for coming over today - we are so happy to see your face! We have big news coming from the Pack later this week, and you'll be the first to hear it. Here's a hint. In the meantime, join us for a cocktail, let's get organized...
Happy long weekend, kind friend. We are so thankful to share a moment with you today! We have our first glimpse of fall weather in Chicago and despite me saying "long live summer!" last week, I'm embracing it. ((But still waiting on the autumnal decor which is very...
I chose one of our most joyful moments of the week for the cover photo. I can still hear his squeals when the waves took him down ? And if you noticed five inches missing from my hair, it's because I have this terrible habit of cutting it with kitchen shears when...
Each week when I type the heading ??, I'm reminded how quickly summer is sailing by. If you're looking to hang on to it just a little longer (like us), we've got you covered with this week's best of: Make It. These dairy-free donuts are such a great way to use the...
