The Joys of Boating
There’s something special about seeing Sarasota from the water. About five years ago, my husband Nick and I joined Suntex Boat Club because we both love boating but didn’t want the responsibilities that come with owning a boat. Instead of worrying about maintenance, storage or upkeep, we simply reserve a boat, show up and enjoy the day.
Stars and Cannoli
While driving through Mundelein, Illinois, I saw stars. Neither celestial nor celebrity, these stars were colorful outdoor sculptures.
BIG EAST Softball Championship
With collegiate softball's regular season ending, it was time for conference tournaments. Fortunately for me, the BIG EAST conference held its tournament at Parkway Bank Sports Complex in Rosemont.
Fun at YAY! Clay
Last year and this year were the years of 30th birthday party celebrations for me and my friends. My friend Alyssa went outside of the typical party or bar celebration and decided to host her birthday at YAY!Clay.
An Evening with Andrew McCarthy
Once again, actor, director and travel writer Andrew McCarthy is traveling the country, as he did in his new book, Who Needs Friends: An Unscientific Examination of Male Friendship Across America. This trip was to discuss and promote that book. An Evening with Andrew McCarthy was presented by The Book Stall and held at Winnetka Chapel, about 15 minutes from my home.
Dining Around
I’ve had some delicious local and at-home meals over the past few weekends.
Minecraft Experience: Villager Rescue
Since completely enjoying Horizon of Khufu at EXP Rosemont last year, I was excited about Minecraft Experience: Villager Rescue, the newest immersive experience there.
Mother’s Day Bliss
I love a good family tradition to look forward to with each holiday. Mother’s Day is one of those that seems to be different each year, and this one took the cake as everyone’s favorite.
Painting Pottery: My New Go-To Coffee Mug
A few weeks ago my mother and I decided to paint pottery as a weekend activity. I hadn’t done it in a few years and always remembered thoroughly enjoying it. Last time, my friend and I met up and I painted a little jewelry dish in different blues and whites to mimic the blue-and-white tiles you’d often see in Greece and along the Mediterranean.
