My computer is back and better than ever!! It was sick and had to go back to Mac land for awhile. So sorry for the delay!! We’ve got some fun stuff coming up, so stay tuned!


Welcome to my desk.

Welcome to my desk.

Welcome to my life. Meet Nelson with stripes, and Norah with the fluffy hair. They LOVE to be a part of EVERY thing. (which to be fair I absolutely love, although as you can see, this CAN be counter productive). I’m sure you’ll hear and see more of these two. They are 2 of my … Continue reading


Come on Spring!

Come on Spring!

Yesterday it snowed, SNOWED!! Just proves that Chicago can snow anytime it feels like it!

Blue skies, sunshine, a sigh of relief…. We are all trying to forget that it is Febuary and hoping to believe that winter is over. I … Continue reading


Welcome to our home.
