Musings I spend a lot of time thinking about why I love to travel, and I’ve managed to come up with some pretty deep reasons over the years. And then this month, Hulu started streaming Mary Kate and Ashley’s 1999 masterpiece, “Passport to Paris.” I rewatched it for the first time in 20 years and…

Daydreamer Diaries: June 2022
Musings Summer is officially here, and June has been the best kind of busy. Things kicked off in Yosemite National Park at the beginning of the month and ended with my niece being born!!! I also squeezed in another quick trip to Chicago–there’s really nothing better than summer in the city. I love finding an…
Daydreamer Diaries: May 2022
Musings Each day since the school shooting in Uvalde, TX, feels so heavy, my movements slowed down like I’m wading through mud. What should take two minutes takes twenty. It’s getting harder and harder to compartmentalize, put a smile on, and go about life. This year alone we’ve had to watch a war in Ukraine,…
Daydreamer Diaries: Apr 2022
Musings I just got back from spending 3 days dancing in the desert with my friends, so I’m feeling super grateful. We bought tickets to Coachella in 2019 when life looked a lot different for all of us. To finally make it there after all this time was extra special–it’s a weekend I never want…

Life is full of loss, heartbreak, disease, uncertainty, and fear… so when you get the chance to hold loved ones close and find moments of happiness, you take it. And that’s what…

Musings Happy New Year! I realized it had been a while since I posted one of these, and I thought it could be fun to keep up with them more consistently… maybe once a month, in a kind of “favorites” format? So here’s the January 2022 edition, all the things I’ve been loving this month….
Daydreamer Diaries: 4/9/21
Musings Well, somehow 6 months went by without me sharing one of these! It feels like I’ve made it through my first official winter back in Chicago–last year I was gone traveling for most of it. But now we’ve gotten a few random days of beautiful weather and trees are starting to blossom and it…
