The Return of Midnight Baking

Bliss: baking at midnight to Joshua Radin. It's my happy place.

This braided lemon bread did not disappoint. Simply divine. And definitely better after cooling overnight. I think I just found my new summer brunch go-to. Next up, blackberry.

Art.

When I see work like this, it reminds me why I love painting. How amazing would it be to still have the time for a couple hours of 'art therapy' every day?

Paint party at my house this weekend.

My Life in Incomplete Sentences

So refreshed, recharged, and happy after having Bobby in town for a four day weekend.

So excited to be living in Chicago in just over a month.

So overwhelmed by all of the stuff I need to sort through, donate, and pack before I move.

Blown away by the fact that I've lived in Michigan for 11 months already.

Happy gas prices have dropped for the first time in a long time.

Not so happy about my new commute: 10 minutes is now suddenly 45 minutes. gross.

Loving the new-found sunshine and occasional blue skies in Michigan.

Excited to be rid of my car and become a full time zip car user in just one month.

Incredibly grateful for my amazing momma today.

So happy to be back in Chicago next weekend.

Lucky to have this amazing guy in my life for over a year now...

Dear Midwest Winter

Get over yourself. It's May. I'd like some blue skies and temperatures above 45 degrees. Capiche?
