Happy Thursday, friends! After Memorial Day this week and being gone from work for five whole days, I finally have gotten back in the swing of things. I woke up on Tuesday and was sending out emails that said "Happy Wednesday" if that can give you any inclination as to how my week began. You could say I'm ready for the weekend! But before we go into a new weekend, I thought I'd chat with you ...

Hello my garbanzo beans throughout Chicago (and beyond)! Happy Sunday to you, wherever you’re reading this from. Today I’m cracking down on what seems like the #1 post that everyone has been asking for but hasn’t received yet… until now. My favorite spots in Chicago to go to eat and drink.

Around November my mom suggested that I head up to see him right after Christmas and spend New Year's here. It's funny looking back on that because at first I was hesitant and now as I'm sitting in the airport waiting on my delayed flight... I can't imagine if the last week ...

I can't believe it's been a little over a month since I came home from NYC. Wait, did that even really happen? Did I get to spend the weekend in NYC with one of my favorite people and experience the city's finest workouts/eats? Yep, I did. It was magical and everything I could have hoped for. I told you guys earlier my NYC trip would be broken down into three parts and since I kind of fell off the ...
Chickpea Travels to New York City: Part 2
Happy Saturday my little chickadees! Today I'm bringing you Part 2 of my three part NYC travels from last week (or technically almost two weeks ago). If you haven't caught on through my Instagram yet, I've been hashtagging #chickpeatravels on all of my posts so I can keep all of these memories on lock. I started doing this when I went to Kansas last year and now I'm hooked on it. The more I ...
