Girl Meets Blog! This is my niece, Baby L. I’m babysitting her tonight while her parents are out. We’ve been listening to Neil Diamond and Simon & Garfunkel. She’s their youngest fan as of tonight. 🎶 ••• I love dressing her up and this onesie is one of the first items I bought when I found out I was going to be an aunt. She is truly the star of my 2019. 🎀💫

Link in Bio — My 2019 Summer Playlist is on the blog now. I love looking at other people’s playlists because it says a lot about them. Go look at what I’ve been listening to this summer. 🌞🎶

Merry Christmas, ya filthy animal! I went on a road trip to several John Hughes filming locations around Chicago’s north shore. I visited spots for Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, The Breakfast Club, Sixteen Candles, Home Alone, and many more. If you want the locations to go on your own tour, check the link in my bio for the latest blog post! 🎥🎄

Strawberry Poppyseed Salad season is nearly over and I needed a lunch fix of my favorite Panera Bread menu item before it disappears until next summer. 🍓 This is the half-salad and it’s only 2SP on WW. 🌞🙌 Also, one of the main things I miss when living outside of the USA is a good salad. Nobody else in the world does salads like America and salad dressings cannot easily be found in most other countries. When I last lived in China, I discovered they put a mayonnaise-like sauce on their salads. 🥗 To sum it up: world travel will have you craving a salad from home. So gimme all of the Panera Bread salads while I can have them. 😛🥬

I made it back to Chicago and we have no mountains to climb out here, but we do have about a million streets to stroll down and a lakefront trail that’s calling for everybody and anybody. I’ve gotten back into the swing of running this week because working with kids all day takes a lot of energy and I want to be the best version of myself in my job. Also, less than two months until Mexico, so there’s another incentive. 🌞

Puppy chowin’ down at Gelato Festival. Anybody else wanna move to Italy yet? 🇮🇹✈️

I completed a 73 Questions interview and the link is in bio. The interview style and questions were inspired by Vogue and the video series created by Joe Sabia.

Being that it’s my first time in the Wild West, I had to try In-N-Out. We don’t have any in Chicago, and everyone I know that has ever tried it always raves about how good it is. Let me tell ya something — I’d 10/10 recommend. 🍔🍟

Made a compilation of the GoPro videos from hiking in the Grand Canyon. Link in bio. 🎥

Twenty-eight has been my least favorite year of my twenties thus far. I can’t go into detail about what this year has been for me, but I’m thankful that I’m concluding this chapter in Arizona with family, friends, and in one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever been. This week has been the greatest way to celebrate my birthday week and all of the vibes that have surrounded my time in Arizona, I hope they continue into year 29. Meaningful work, adventure, experiencing new places, new friends, and surrounding myself with simple things that hold all of the beauty — that’s what I want this year to be. 🎈
