Friendsgiving


Watching Michigan end a losing season felt somewhat "ok" while surrounded by 14 incredible college buddies and 5 future Wolverines in the making :)
  
 15 years post dorm/frat life, we still bleed Blue.
Time sure flies when you're havin fun 
(it's just a lot more fun when you win... just sayin)

Gobble Gobble Gobble


 A Happy Thanksgiving indeed :)

 So much to be thankful for this year. Namely, 
this little turkey who might have eaten 
a little too much turkey ;)

First Aid Kit


Really enjoyed seeing the Swedish Söderberg sisters do 
their thing. Definitely recommend checking them out
Very chill music. Long car ride worthy.

Happy Friday!


Confession: 
I think life would be a whole lot more hilarious if everyone didn't just post the very best, cutest, most adorable pix of their children. 

As a former nanny and devoted Aunt, allow me to share a lil' spoiler alert to my fellow friends sans kiddos: 

It's not easy and more often than not, no one looks good (or well rested) in the process.
     
So my brother and I shared a solid laugh this morn 
while making this lil ditty of Stelly Monster:
   
And now I cannot stop quoting Ron Burgundy.

You stay classy, San Diego.

Nick Howard & Eric Hutchinson


Save the date for April 14th, 2015 when Nick Howard comes back to Chicago for his very own show at the Chop Shop | 1st Ward!! 

Talk about a dream come true.

Counting down the days to do this all over again :)


  
If you haven't checked out either artist, 
I assure they will not disappoint!

Status UpDate


This weekend is the annual Northwestern/Michigan tailgate and since my dad's been in recovery from knee replacement surgery, I've been leaning on Max as my co-host for the occasion.

So the other day one of his buddies asked him how our relationship is going -- to which he replied, "I added her to my CostCo membership."

I belted out laughing :)

The couple that buys beer and burgers in bulk together, stays together. 

HA! Gotta love the Midwest...

Sven & Kev Got Married!


To the new Mr. & Mrs. Brown, 

It has taken four days but I've officially recovered 
from your wedding and the only thing that still hurts 
is my whole entire face from smiling :)

CONGRATULATIONS and CHEERS to a lifetime 
filled with so much love, health and happiness! 

You two are such an inspiration. 
May we all be so lucky!

XOXOXO,
Stace


Yep, yep, yep...
You know you're casually nailing life when your wedding has The Chicago Blackhawks National Anthem singer kick off the evening.
SERIOUSLY!

I LOVE THIS COUPLE

LOVE BABY MAEVE AS THE FLOWER GIRL!

I LOVE THESE LADIES!
 

I LOVE ME A PHOTO BOOTH!!!

WHO DOESN'T LOVE A CIRCLE PHOTO?!?
