My Latest Obsessions



The Kiddos

Happy Friday! I'm so excited. Peter and I are taking off tomorrow for our annual weekend getaway to Milwaukee. Every winter after the holidays we head to Milwaukee for a weekend in January or February. It's become our little tradition (a few posts from years past = 2014, 2013, 2010). It is the perfect drive from Chicago (under 2 hours) and we always feel as though we are "away." PFC went to Marquette so he has always appreciated Milwaukee and I now love the town. Our only itinerary all weekend includes reservations for dinner and brunch. We love just chilling at our favorite hotel = Iron Horse Hotel. We're adding two new restaurants to try this year = All Purpose (dinner) and Fire Engine No. 3 (brunch). We've also talked about hitting up the Oriental Theatre and catching the movie Birdman.

Happy Weekend! XO - d2

The kiddos on Christmas


It's a Wonderful Life at the Music Box Theatre


A Holidate = Christmas Plaid explosion!





Happy Friday! And Happy New Year! The holidays are behind us and 2015 has been off to a COLD start. It's been freezing here all week in Chicago. The kids were off of school one day for the temps alone. It is tough not to be daydreaming of warmer temps, sunshine, and summer.

Tonight we are laying low and staying warm. Maybe some hot chocolate and a movie tonight. Tomorrow night PFC/I are heading to Topolobambo for dinner. Rick Bayless' restaurant has been on my list for a long time! I do want to see the movie Unbroken at some point. I've heard that it is pretty intense. And PFC and I are looking forward to our annual weekend trip to Milwaukee next weekend. It's always a perfect little getaway.

Stay warm. And enjoy the weekend! XO - D2
