September

Did you know..."September begins on the same day of the week as December every year, because there are 91 days separating September and December, which is a multiple of seven (the number of days in the week)". Thanks Wikipedia! I guess that means that September and December are lucky months because they are connected to the number seven. Maybe that explains why so many people feel like this months is going to be a good one! There is definitely a blogger buzz going on.

Just A few of my favorite things lately;

Reading new magazines. Have you seen how huge the fall Vogue magazine is?

Vanessa's blooming flowers outside and dried lavender in the house.

Picking up an Antique Store Map for the  area, best thing ever! Found a new cute makeup brush jar. 

Jesse's new watch strap he just made. This one is from an old baseball mitt. Sorry guys, it's sold ;-)

Oh and I tried to teach Louie how to sit, at age seven. It's never to late to start haha

Chicago Dogs and Sand Castles

Another busy long week! I started work Monday and had a rough time getting use to waking up early again. I quickly started feeling a little worn out; so I took some time to relax with Jesse. I enjoyed reading my new Vogue magazine with a cover story of Emma Watson! She has always inspired me and, well, we are the same age. I didn't realize it has been 10 years since the first Harry Potter movie came out. Can't wait for the next one in July! I read every book, but the last one, so this time I can be surprised!

Along with sharing some yummy raspberry cheese pastries from the bakery with my hubby, we also enjoyed some Chicago dogs this week! Jesse has been looking for these everywhere...Gandolfo's, Rosati's, as long as I can remember and finally found them at Sonic! He tells me they are the most authentic that he has had since living in Chicago.  They definitely have a signature taste with sport peppers, celery salt, tomatoes, a pickle,and Chicago style relish. 

On a side note look at this amazing sand castle we saw outside the mall! We noticed a sign that you could pay $10 to help demolish it. Lucky kids!
