Very Chicago |

There’s this feeling that Chicago gives you once you step foot on it’s sidewalks, it’s so alive, it’s so friendly and it’s really quite clean.
I love it and am so excited to be spending three nights there starting tomorrow. It’s pretty weird for me because the last time I stayed that long in Chicago was when we lived there.
I’m just now starting to feel anxious about leaving this family that I adore so much, but I also believe that everyone needs a break. Me from them…them from me. Me from Brian…Brian from, no wait, I’m SURE Brian doesn’t need a break from me.
I can tell by the way he’s brought up the luggage from the basement, done all of the laundry and practically packed my bags for me. All without me asking him to do so.
Okay, that’s a lie. (especially the laundry part.)
I am feeling very nervous about the whole “meeting new people” thing…I’m just nervous, anxious, excited, scared and um…nervous.
Anyway, I’m overly overwhelmed (OMG, I know it doesn’t make sense, leave me alone) I’ve got my laundry to do, Brian’s laundry, the kids laundry, a house to clean, myself to pack, outfits to plan, schedules to input into my iPhone, returns to make at stores and of course, I must allow time for ice cream.
So, how about some pictures…of Chicago. I took these last weekend.
If you are going to Blogher…aren’t you excited? And also, tell me in the comments if you’ll be there. I hope to meet so many of you, don’t be shy!
Oh wait? What’s that? You want a picture of Racecar? Okay fine…just for you. I do anything for you.
YUMMY.
Great, just what I need…another reason to be sad I’m not going to BlogHer!
The weather looks beautiful out there! Have a blast!
I dont know how many times I’ve said this in the past 2 weeks but here it goes again:
I so wish I was going :/
Hey – Shouldn’t you be folding laundry?
I love Chicago! I don’t get there nearly as often as I’d like, considering I only live a couple of hours north. I adore that second shot of the city, with the boats in the front. Will that be in your Etsy shop?
Have a blast at BlogHer! Sounds like it will be a great weekend!
Have an amazing time this weekend!!
And someday, I will learn how to fold Racecar up so I can carry him around in my back pocket…
Okay, I’ve said it before, but I really love that boy!!!! Why in the world would you be nervous? Anyone who meets you is one very lucky person. Go and have a wonderful time. Do it for me. By the way, I love your mother! I can see why you are so awesome!!
These photos of Chicago are simply lovely. Enjoy!
Sadly, I won’t be there either. I can’t wait to hear all about it!!!
You make chicago look very appealing. Lovely pictures. Have a great time at blogher.

I’ll be there! I’ll try to make sure I actually say hi to you this time, instead of staring across a theater!
Love the pictures on this post they just “look” like summer:) Have a great time Chicago!!
yeah that was IN Chicago.. duh
I really wanted to go but it didn’t work out for me. I heard that Paula Deen will be there. I have one request from you if you do get a chance to see her, please take a picture of her for me and yell over to her that Mimi says hey and uses her cookbooks all the time. Thanks! Also, please keep an eye on my favorite daughter and grand-daughter. These pictures of Chicago look like postcards. I miss the City. Have a fantabulous time meeting new people.
I LOVE the color in these photo’s, especially the first 2!!
