Weekend Recap
This weekend was great- kept busy, ate lots of delicious things and had a lot of family fun- Butterfly Exhibit at the Notebaert Museum, morning dips in the pool, bubbles and catching up with cousins visiting from out of of town!
All sorts of amazing!

Summer Fashion Must Haves - What You Need For 2012 Shopping

Okay, maybe you’re a little behind the 8-ball — you still have some wooly sweaters and too-heavy coats cluttering up your closet, and it’s very possible you have no idea where your favorite flat sandals are. Oh, and it’s going to be 83 late…
Some great summer staples!

We rarely hear about the little acts of love that exist between partners, where there are no plot twists or last-minute obstacles. There are few films, few books about a woman who packs a lunch for her husband every morning and cuts the crust off his sandwich, or the man who works an extra job at night for two years so his boyfriend can attend law school, or the couple who lies in bed at night and asks each other how their day was and really listens. Sure, that might be a component of the story, but it is sure to be drowned out by the conflict and the thrill that we want to see. And there is nothing wrong with that, we like excitement. But sometimes it’s hard not to miss the attention paid to the little, unglamorous acts of love that make up a true partnership.
What’s up, Wednesday?
- I woke up with a VOICE! Still not 100% but majorly relieved (since I need to talk for 3 hrs tomorrow!) Yes, wish me luck!
- I just finished reading Andy Cohen’s memoir “Most Talkative”. Good read! I already adore Andy and his antics and fell in love with his mom Eleanor and his many stories from Oprah to dishing on the Housewives.
- I came across these beauties via Pinterest and have been obsessed since. Growing up they were staples at my godmother’s during special occasions. I haven’t seen or had one in years. Must rectify that asap.
Weekend …
Happy belated Mother’s Day to all :) Hopefully you were able to relax and enjoy the day.
Unfortunately we all got sick this weekend- yucky virus/cold. Yesterday afternoon I started to lose my voice & it’s completely gone. Really frustrating trying to communicate. At first Charlotte was alarmed & now she tries to imitate my squeaks.
Fortunately, I have been able to get a bit of rest thanks to the Mister- who took over yesterday! Hoping to have my voice back & feel 100% soon. I’m getting a bit tired of lemon + honey, lozenges and tissues.
Since no pics were taken yesterday, here’s a flashback to last year’s first mother’s day.
Awesome!
Piperlime is set to open a brick & mortar store in New York’s SoHo neighborhood.
PLEEEAAASE let SF be next!
Random Thoughts…
- Why is it that the cable window is always overblown? Ie: We will have someone there b/w 8-12, they show at 2:45 and are still here…..likely to be here for another few hrs?
- Why is it that at any given time I can think of a million things I want to buy…except for occasions when people want to buy me actual gifts? HELP? What do I want for Mother’s Day ;)
- Where can I find the Chicago equivalent to Pearl’s Oyster Bar or Luke’s Lobster? I want a good lobster or crab roll? Does anything exist?
