Our Day Before Thanksgiving Tradition
On November 25, 2009, exactly 6 years ago today, Kevin and I got engaged! It was the day before Thanksgiving and I was flying down to Louisville the next morning to spend the holiday with my family. The week before Kevin asked me if I wanted to go out to dinner before I left to…
Best Pie in Chicago

Lake Street Kitchen + Bar
For this week’s restaurant review I will be talking about a popular spot right in the heart of downtown Oak Park. Lake Street Kitchen + Bar opened in late 2011 and I was so excited because it was one of the first restaurants in Oak Park to have a “downtown Chicago” vibe. The restaurant took…

Happy Monday! Welcome to another start of the week. This weekend went by really fast despite not doing much. The weather was beautiful all weekend and I tried to be outside as much as possible since 60 in November is pretty awesome. I hope you all had a good weekend. Here is what I was…
