Hi! My name is Stacey Hall... Proud Chicagoan & Non-profit worker. 41 year old Virgo. My blood type is B-positive and so is my outlook on life. Recently married my 1st husband (I refer to him as that so he keeps his shit together). Dog mom to Lucky. Aspiring human mom, someday. Similar to spam (both the canned meat and the junk-mail) this blog serves no meaningful purpose. Welcome :)

Glenview Girls Wknd
Once my brain-cells recharge and my cheeks stop hurting from laughing at the lake all weekend, I'll be sure to write more about the funnies shared in Delevan :)
The Hideout
Instead of asking,
"Where the hell are we?"
I only found myself questioning,
"How had I never been to this hidden Chicago gem??"
The Hideout...
YES.PLEASE.THANK YOU!

I can't wait to pick up my "Lincoln Park Market" print today
and hang it proudly in my apartment :)
Definitely saving my pennies to buy this gem in the Fall...

How Does She Do It?
Last night Liz hosted Book Club and I was
absolutely in awe of her awesomeness :)
At one point I looked at their dining room and was all,
"I want to go to there!"
And so I did :)

"Isn't life just yummy?!"
Over the wknd I had the absolute pleasure to attend a party thrown by three incredible hosts.
Steve provided his lovely apartment as the venue
Erica provided the liquid entertainment (always a fav)
and her longtime boyfriend, the insanely talented Jon Ashton,
cooked-up a "tasting" menu that was unbelievable!
I creeped in the kitchen for a while to observe his awesomeness
but ultimately found myself glued to the serving table :)
While solving all the world's problems over beers, burgers,
braised ribs, and a bruschetta recipe that melted my heart,
Jon said, "Isn't life just yummy?"
I nodded happily in agreement.
"Yes. Life is yummy!"
The Celebration Continues
Timmy & Shannon sent this pic of my family last night and it brought a smile to my face. So fun to see other perspectives
on a truly wonderful wedding :)

Some Wear Many Hats
I apparently, wear many shoes...
Last night I walked in the door from beach volleyball and totally burst out laughing at this crime scene of happy feet.
If I didn't live alone, I'd for sure have thought there was a party going on in my apartment. Summer is clearly in full gear :)
And with that, I leave you with a deep thought
