Bonjour! We have made it to France! Land of pastries and turtlenecks (if you've seen The Book of Mormon you may recognize that wonderful line)! We flew from Dublin to Geneva, Switzerland, and then drove the hour south down to Chamonix. I knew instantly that Chamonix was something special. Solidified how much I just want... Continue Reading →
Dia dhuit! Hello from one of the greenest countries I have ever seen! Except Dublin. Dublin isn't green. This trip all began a year ago when I asked my grandmother how she would like to celebrate turning 80 years old. She said she wanted to get back to Ireland to see family and she had...

God dag fra Tromso!! Hello from the northernmost city in the entire world! It’s located 220 miles north of the Arctic Circle, and 1360 miles south of the North Pole.

Beatrix is quickly becoming a Chicagoland staple. With 5 restaurants (and counting) in Chicago and surrounding suburbs, it's becoming one of those places that everyone goes to. Surprised it took me this long to make my way to one of them. And if their lunch and dinner menu is as good as their brunch menu,... Continue Reading →
If you've ever gotten the chance to visit Milwaukee, you know that it's pretty much all the stereotypical attributions of a midwesterner in one place. Incredibly nice, willing to help a stranger, and ranch is the superior condiment. It also holds a very special place in my heart as I got to live in this... Continue Reading →
I want to start this by saying I love Florida but Florida does not often love me. Florida spots the girl with English/Irish blood who turns tomato red within 10 minutes of being outside as well as hair that becomes a lion's mane anytime she tries to brush it out in the humidity and hones...

If you are looking for a new date night place, Alpana is the perfect place. An upscale, intimate Italian restaurant serving up some delicious dishes, especially their fresh made pasta. It's a smaller space but whoever was their interior designer should get an award. Absolutely stunning. Just wanted to take in all the greenery and... Continue Reading →
