Happy Friday! I hope you all had a good week. We had a pretty dreary week here weather wise – cold and rainy. I was glad to see 70 and sunny is back in the forecast next week. Speaking of next week, can you believe it will already be November?? We are now officially into…

30 Things
This Saturday (Halloween) is Kevin’s 30th birthday so today I thought it would be fun to put together a list of 30 things I love about him. It was surprisingly easy to come up with this list (which I guess is a good thing) so I hope he enjoys reading them. I know I struggled…
S’More Krispy Treats
I have another delicious treat for you today that would be perfect to serve for Halloween! These treats are inspired by a recent visit to Chicago Bagel Authority where they had the biggest s’more krispy treats for sale. Their version was made with two different kinds of cereal: Golden Grahams and Cocoa Puffs. I went…
Marion Street Cheese Market
I’m excited to share with a you a true Oak Park gem today. Marion Street Cheese Market is one of the first places we visited when we moved into our condo almost six years ago. It’s conveniently located steps away from the Oak Park Metra and Harlem Green Line stations so it’s the perfect spot…
Weekend Recap
Good morning! How was your weekend? We had nothing on the agenda and did basically just that. And it was awesome! Unfortunately, we didn’t “schedule” our weekend of nothing very well.

Here are some cute ideas for this year from some fellow bloggers: Mummy Cupcakes via Sugar and Charm Mini Donut Spiders via It’s Always Autumn Frankenstein Rice Krispie Treats via…
Cafe Ba-Ba-Reeba
When I first moved to Chicago, one of the first restaurants I went to was a neighborhood tapas place near my apartment. This started my love affair with small plates dining and where I discovered one of the best food combinations ever: bacon + dates. Unfortunately, my former favorite restaurant is no longer in existence…

Happy Monday friends! I hope you all had a good weekend. Kevin and I flew down to Alabama to spend time with my brother and sister-in-law and we had a wonderful time visiting with them. As always the weekend went by way too quickly! FRIDAY | Our original plans were for me, Kevin, and my…
