Here

It's the weekend, and I'm actually here in the Chi!

I've been traveling so much on my maternity leave that I'm excited to be here for the whole weekend.

I've got a whole bunch of city outings cooked up in my mind for our little family, and so I hope husband and Augy are feeling up to it, wink.

Here's a few photos that have been sitting in an unfinished blog post for a couple weeks now, whoops.

The first photo is from an evening walk where we stumbled upon this new Argo Tea (Hello, amaze!  My new favorite.)

The rest of the photos are of a Saturday morning family walk up Wells Street, August Wells' namesake.

Hint: The new Plum Market on Wells Street has Glazed & Infused Donuts, our favorite donuts in the city!

Have a great weekend!

Staycation Snapshots- A Walk Up Wells Street

Shopping for a Scooter!!!

Lovely, sunny, spring day

We will be back here soon to buy helmets to go with our new Vespa! It's just up the street from where we live, which is perfect.

I love their carrot cake cupcake with cream cheese frosting.

An aesthetic, creative paradise! I was hoping to take a piece of this place home with me in the form of a new green houseplant, but they were $30- I guess I'll just have to stop in and visit, if you know what I mean.

A walk up Wells St. is one of my favorite things to do on a lovely, sunny day, and this spring day was particularly lovely. The shops are fun to poke in and out of, and there are opportunities for cupcakes, Starbucks, smoothies, chocolates, and more along the way. If you go far enough, you'll reach one of our breakfast faves, Nookies, and just a bit farther, Lincoln Park. What's not to love?
