It’s arrived. The final #FebPhotoADay and the end of another month. Happy Leap Year! Today’s challenge was “something you’re listening to.” I decided that instead of posting about my playlist on Spotify (which I finally got on for the first time and am loving), I would showcase a manifesto I listen to and follow every […]

This Little Piggy
**Non-food post ahead. Though admittedly there will still be plenty talk of greens.** Let’s talk money. After all, it’s the subject of today’s #FebPhotoADay. Although the above piggy bank is mainly used for spare change and random one-dollar coins, it’s also the ubiquitous symbol for saving. [History lesson: The name originated from “pygg,” a type […]
Pingbacks
It’s hard to believe there are only two days and two photos left in #FebPhotoADay after this post. I’ve really enjoyed the challenge! Fat Mum Slim has recently announced a #MarchPhotoADay project in case you’re interested in joining up. Today’s photo was of something I ate, which makes it all the more appealing for this […]
Every Day I’m Hustlin’
I hope LMFAO won’t mind that I altered their Party Rock Anthem a bit. I had a good reason: I was in need of a song to motivate me to climb 94 flights of stairs at this year’s Hustle Up the Hancock! We arrived at the John Hancock Center a little before 11:00 a.m. to […]

After checking out the poll for the appetizers, it looked as though the Crispy Shrimp & Salmon Maki or the Lobster Rolls (I’m looking at you, Erica!) […]
My First Foray Into Restaurant Week {Poll}
I need your help. Tonight is the first time I will ever be participating in Chicago’s Restaurant Week. It’s been a long time coming, and our restaurant of choice is Japonais, which touts itself as contemporary Japanese cuisine and sushi. I’m thrilled. But I need your help. The pre-fixe menu has a lot of great […]
Introspective
Hey, I put some new old shoes on and suddenly everything’s right. I apologize if the Paolo Nutini song is now stuck in your head. Or should I say, you’re welcome? 🙂 Today’s #FebPhotoADay is “your shoes.” Even though it’s not Chuck Taylor Tuesday (a series from Heather, who just announced she’s having a boy […]
Book Review: Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close by Jonathan Safran Foer
My book club’s inaugural read was Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close by Jonathan Safran Foer. We had the chance to chat about it last week (right before my adorable nieces became triplets) and I’m excited to share my review with you today. I haven’t had a chance to see the ELAIC movie yet, but am […]
