We meet monthly in various neighborhoods in Chicago and for … Continue reading How a City Girl Planned a Camping Trip: Van Buren State Park
3 Things I Struggle with on Monday
During my commute this morning, I counted a number of expletives I said in my thoughts on the way to work. Expletive, I have to get up. Expletive, the train isn’t here.

Lone Star BBQ Bar: A Little Sauce, A Lot of Country in Chicago
I can smell something sweet and savory from the patio. It’s the post oak smokewood that Lone Star BBQ uses to marinade their meats.

My senses are already heightened as I sit down to a table with a roll of brown paper towels ready for me to spin … Continue reading Lone Star BBQ Bar: A Little Sauce, A Lot of Country in Chicago

Rest and Relaxation at the Palmer House
My friend is a workaholic so she decided to book a room at the Palmer House and bring me along for a girl’s weekend. We spent Sunday night for Memorial Day weekend in a queen sized room.
