I’m embarrassed to say that in my almost 24 years of life, I’ve never had Indian food. I grew up in a very Midwestern family where dinners usually revolved around meat and cheese and throwing it in a casserole dish. It wasn’t really until college that I started venturing out and trying new foods and... Continue Reading →
PSA: Please bear with me as I figure out this new aspect of the blog aka All Things Food. I love looking up best places to eat when I travel somewhere or even when I'm back in Chicago constantly looking up places or asking friends for food recommendations, so I thought it would be a...

Right around a year ago from today, I was getting ready to go visit the RoozenGaarde Tulip Festival up in Mount Vernon, Washington. I had read that the tulip festival feels like it was transporting you right to the tulip fields in the Netherlands. With rows and rows of color past what the eye can... Continue Reading →
One of the first things you should know before traveling to Jamaica is that they have some of the friendliest people you will ever meet. They are always willing to help someone in need or a lost tourist in need of directions. They have a lot of pride for their country and love to share... Continue Reading →

My dear friend Mary recommended this book to me and if you have met her or ever get to read some of her work you know that she has the gift of storytelling. She doesn't see the world like so many of us do. She see's a trampoline and instead it's a school for kids... Continue Reading →

I mean sure there were lags at different times when other things may have gotten in the way: school, sports, all things middle school, but I always found my way back to a book. And while I read in High School and College, it wasn't until I moved to Seattle during... Continue Reading →
It is so nice to finally be back writing travel. I missed the chaos that only travel can bring. The craziness of everything from start to finish. I crave it! This past weekend I got to go visit a friend of mine down in Miami and experience the 305. I've been to Miami once before... Continue Reading →
I'm just going to start this post by saying this book could easily be my top read of 2022. I'm predicting that now. We've only just started March and that is how much I loved this book. It's a book that I believe everyone should read at some point in their life. An absolutely incredible... Continue Reading →
March has finally arrived! Spring is just around the corner (she says while it is a balmy 20 degrees without windchill this fine Chicago day and knowing that the universe is going to say HA about it being spring and dump a foot of snow on a random day in March or April). Ah Spring.... Continue Reading →
