Left me speechless

   

Left me in stitches :)

     

Mother Daughter Book Group Goes Painting

Was so fun to take a break from the books 

and test our skillz on the canvas. 

  

Unfortunately, I must have left my talent at the office
(and Cody & I may have each had a 40 en route on the Metra)

[details, details]
 
but somewhere between paint brushes, I took a left turn (slash stroke) and decided to F  the whole instruction part and made Regan a belated gift for her birthday instead :) 

   

We both love Winnie the Pooh, 

so I went with a favorite quote

in hopes the thought would count
(more than the outcome ;)  

  

Here's what it was supposed to look like: 

  

And here's how my 
not-so-VanGough version:
turned out

  

I hope she likes it :)
  

Gotta give a shout out to TipsyPaint --

if there's one close to you, 

DO IT TO IT!
  

Here's how everyone else's turned out...
soooooo impressed!

MD Painting Night :)

  

One VIC-TORIOUS Bachelorette Wknd

Words cannot describe my excitement for 

Vicky & Doug's wedding this June, 

in ITALY!!! 

If the bachelorette party was any indication 

of the awesomeness that's still ahead, 

LOOK.OUT.WORLD :)

Love you, Vic!

  

PS: Was great to see you NYC!

You capture my heart, as always...

      

Sandbox Outings

Whenever I get frustrated with work, I remind myself how lucky 

I am to be surrounded by the best team in the entire city :)

Trolley around Chicago

GO CUBS GO!

HAWKS WIN :)

    

HeadHoods!

My buddy Clint is a genius.

I encourage you all to buy a masterpiece instantaneously.

And that's all I have to say about that :)

  

Just Another Day at the Office...

Made Me Giggle

HAPPY (BELATED) BIRTHDAY, NICKI :)

Was so wonderful to get to spend time with you & Nicholas 
(and see the whole Sacco fam) 
before your BIG move to Seoul! 

  

I remain in awe of the two of you and absolutely adore living vicariously through your incredible adventures :) 

They say that some people come into your life for a reason, some for a season, and some for a lifetime -- I'm just so thrilled and fortunate that you fit in all three categories.

  

Cheers to a million more laughs and international memories together. Counting down the days to come to visit you in South Korea next year!!

  

XOXOXO
