When my husband decided to go to Notre Dame for law school, I assumed we would spend our three years and return to Chicago as soon as possible. I never thought this city would feel like home, but somewhere along the way, we fell in love with South Bend. On Saturdays, we like to shop at […]

The words “gluten-free” seem to have skyrocketed in recent years and honestly until this week I would roll my eyes at them. How did it suddenly become trendy to eliminate something that is in almost every food and isn’t that bad for you and more importantly, why? Fad diets aren’t my thing so seeing so […]

This may surprise some of you but when I went to college I was an athletic training major. I thought I would graduate in 4 years, head to a high school to become their athletic trainer, and stay there forever. It turns out I don’t love anatomy, math, science or blood so that dream ended […]

My Dad I adore both of my parents. So naturally I have to write one of these for my dad even though I am 98% positive that my dad has never read a single blog post by anyone ever in his life. Despite his terrible use of technology, he is definitely a favorite of mine. […]
