Life Lately, In Snapshots


Pics from top:  1. a pretty great question  // 2. i might need a target intervention  // 3. sunset on last minute road trip to indianapolis // 4. came across this 2009 issue of boho magazine with me 'modeling' my SS09 clothing designs  // 5. morgan & i made a 'tipsy' pie (directions: drink some wine and make a pie) // 6. the windfarm on I65 on the way back to chicago is the only semi-interesting part of what may officially be the most monotonous drive ever  // 7. my husband walked this sign on stage at the end of the band's live webcast of their anniversary show in brooklyn (i love him) // 8. i was not happy about my bananas' decision to turn brown before they ever turned yellow // 9. large latte and large conversation  // 10. everyday i'm hustlin'  // 11. our snow-covered garlic (chicago weather = perpetually unsolved mystery) // 12. mid-afternoon magazine + coffee date with my pal cheri // 13. sent out lots of these last week // 14. my favorite snack


The last few weeks have been slow and pretty uneventful for the most part, as they usually are this time of year.  January and February, although admittedly my two least favorite months, are always good for down time and appreciating simple pleasures.  I'm definitely starting to get cabin fever, but have a trip or two in the works for March.  Knowing there is some travel in the near future is always helpful in terms of tiding me over during the winter months.  

Did you guys have a good weekend?  Mine was nice and chill. I spent Saturday with my dear friend Cheri, and yesterday, Robbie got to stop home again for a brief visit.  He watched the Super Bowl; I ate Super Bowl snacks.  Just an FYI, buffalo cauliflower bites = amazing.  Fellow vegetarians and meat lovers alike - I high recommend them.  Here's the recipe. You're welcome.

  1. Buffalo cauliflower?! Sounds kind of like a dream. I'm not a vegetarian but I was for 6 years so I still have vegetarian tendencies and preferences!

  2. I did an IG post today too! We didn't even remember the super bowl was on yesterday until I logged into twitter and saw everyone tweeting about it. Then I promptly logged back off and went to make some felt things. Haha. I want that latte right now. :)

  9. Lovin' all the snapshots (as usual), especially the snow-covered garlic! Buffalo cauliflower...I bet my kids would love that (they like anything buffalo spicey). Thanks for the recipe. Glad you got to spend some time with Robbie (even if it was Super Bowl day).

  12. Dude, how old WOULD I be? Probably still in my 20s, but maybe 25 instead of 27. Other days I feel like I'm already in my 30s because I've been married for a while and we own a house. I don't really know! I might pose this question the next time we have a party and see what people say.

  13. I found your blog on Saturday afternoon. I was so happy because your blog is something that I had tried to find already a while :) Winter here in Finland is long, cold and dark. It would be very easy NOT to like it. However I`ve decided to take a different kind of an attitude and I think it is a little bit like your attitude too; during these winter months it is good time and possibility to enjoy slower life and small, everyday things in general :)

  14. I live in southeastern Indiana and the drive to Chicago is not the best, but I agree that the windfarm is the most interesting.
