Chicago at Night

This past July, I confirmed something I’ve suspected was true for a long time: Chicago is the perfect place for a long weekend trip. I’ve wanted to go forever, especially since I was supposed to attend a conference there a few years ago (but ended up not going), and had to hear my entire office […]

This post is a long time coming, but I’m excited to finally be writing about my trip to London last November! It was my first time travelling to Europe, and I was equal parts excited and nervous leading up to the trip. I went with my friend Danielle, who is an accomplished world traveler and […]

I jinxed myself last month, talking about how I didn’t find January all that bad, because of course it all came crashing down in February. I was in major grumpy hibernation mode, but luckily had a quick trip to Las Vegas at the end of the month to look forward to: Nicole came over for […]

Baked Swag
