Happy Friday!

Two questions. 1. Why do short weeks always feel like the longest? 2. Can somebody, anybody, please tell us how it is already June? June 1! This is madness.

Some weekend reads!

• Check out our favorite new artist and this great album: Rebecca Ferguson’s Heaven on Spotify or via iTunes!
• 24 Survival Tips for Living Alone – seriously awesome. The toothpaste photo-hanging tip? How have we lived so long without figuring this out?
• The lovely Erika is in the running to be a contributing editor for HomeMint – check out her awesome vintage eclectic home on Pinterest and repin for her to win!
• For our Chicago friends, workout in the park this weekend with SELF Magazine!
• We will be making these spot prawns with lime and cilantro as soon as we have a minute to Google what on earth a spot prawn is. (PS – best food blog ever!)
• Why are celebrities on Instagram so fascinating?

Whether you’ll be having lots of fun this weekend or getting lots of R&R – enjoy!

 

Life Lately

I will never get sick of this skyline – Chicago from Belmont Harbor

Reading by Ali’s pool

Dulce de Leche and Red Velvet from Phoebe’s

Ali & I at dinner!

Ceiling stencils at Public House – so subtle but so pretty!

Shrimp tacos at the best Mexican patio in the city, Las Fuentes

At a neighborhood school, each student ties a ribbon to their fence to promote acceptance and celebrate diversity

My future boat – if I named my boat after myself

I’ve been a bad blogger this week. I have no idea how you guys do it – I’m lucky that Ali carries my weight when not contributing (and hopefully, vice versa!) These pictures do NOT take into account the past four rather insane days at work – I have a pretty nice office, but I have a feeling that would not make for as interesting of a post I’m definitely looking forward to a relaxing weekend.
