One of the goals during this Chicago visit was to eat and drink at places we hadn't tried before. Giordano's and tea at The Langham aside, we made it a point to try new places. You see, as familiar as we are with downtown Chicago and a couple of the suburbs, my crazy need for familiarity usually ...
Chicago Wardrobe
Dressing for Chicago winter weather... That was going to be the title of this post. It would have been, too, if it weren't for the fact that during this entire trip, Chicago Winter decided to turn into Chicago Spring.
We arrived Friday evening, after a week of temperatures in the low teens, to a ...
Snow
Being a Southern girl, and living in a city that is notorious about handling winter weather poorly, I'll admit to having a very skewed perception of winter. Here in Louisville (for those of you reading from elsewhere), as soon as there is a threat of inclement weather, the brine trucks hit the road, ...
The Look for Less: Powder Room Wallpaper
This morning, during one of my more-common-than-you-would-think 8am runs to Lowes, I happened to spot what I thought was my difficult to find Graham and Brown Darcy wallpaper in Pearl.
** our powder room **
Upon further inspection, however, I realized that this was instead Lowes' brand Allen and ...
It’s Almost Derby!
My internal Kentucky Derby alarm clock has not be well tuned this year. I kept thinking I was going to miss my 100-day out post- so much so, that I actually dreamed of hats and shared room at the Galt House with mean girls who were abusive to my toppers Monday night. No joke! I woke up in a ...
Resolve
2014 passed by in a whirlwind! I would absolutely be lying if I said there were no hardships- the first three months of last year were difficult. A polar vortex of weather the likes of which I've never seen, a home whose pipes froze, unfroze, flooded, and froze again after the HVAC went out halfway ...
Glimpses of Christmas on the Farm
Yesterday, the man and I ventured down to the farm to have brunch, exchange Christmas gifts with my parents and take a long hike through our woods. It was a quiet, peaceful day, perfect for kicking off Christmastime.
** Daddy, Joker and The Queen **
** my gorgeous woods, complete with ...
Christmastime is Here
There's something wonderful about celebrating Christmas. If you're me, there's a warm, wonderful feeling in your tummy. I find myself humming Christmas carols out in public. I curl up on the couch watching White Christmas, and cry happy/sad tears thinking about listening to the album while ...
Thanksgiving Centerpiece
Well, dear readers, Thanksgiving at the Duncan/Mills house was a success! Of course, I overthought things and went overboard and made way too much food, but to be able to sit down with my parents and Bryan for a Thanksgiving meal for the first time ever was incredibly nice.
Too much reading of Coco ...
