Bet you didn’t think Tuesday could feel like a Monday, did ya? Neither did I but here it is. The dreaded post-Labor Day Tuesday that feels like a Monday. At least we’re all in it together. Well, except for those smart people who took the whole week off. But they’ll be right there with us […]
I wrote this post on my run last night. Pretty impressive huh? And you thought texting while walking without incident was an accomplishment. You’ll understand how I managed this in a minute. As you probably know by now, I’m less than 2 months out from my first marathon. I know you probably think I’m crazy […]
I come from a large family. Not quite Duggar-sized but large nonetheless. My mom is the oldest of eight. I am one of 10 cousins on the Bosch side. And that doesn’t include in-laws. Needless to say our family functions are well-attended. Over the years I’ve become accustomed to record attendance. The more the merrier […]
We ended Wednesday with dinner and a show. I’ve always wanted to say that. It sounds so regal, doesn’t it? Perks of a blog. You finally get to say all the things you’ve always wanted to say without anyone telling you how silly you sound. Well at least not until I click publish. Anywho, my […]
I was going to write this post about chicken tostadas. About making the most of the awesome weather we’ve finally been having here in Chicago and using your grill for a whole meal.

If this blog was a podcast, you’d probably be able to infer how my weekend in Nashville went within the first minute. Lucky for you the written word doesn’t have volume because I left my voice in Nashville. I also left quite a few hours of sleep on the table so I’ll keep this post […]
I told you I would share a recipe with you in my IKEA post earlier this week as proof that I actually do cook real meals every once in a while. It’s true. I’ve been slacking on my recipe posts the past few months. You probably think all I do is run and spend time […]
If the subject line doesn’t give you a proper indication of my weekend, I’ll say it again. After receiving this baby in the mail this week, I decided to spend my Sunday at IKEA. And when I say I spent my Sunday there I mean it. If you’ve ever been to an IKEA you know […]
For the past several weeks I’ve been visualizing life in infographic form. I’m not exactly the numbers-type but when I see those stats all wrapped up into a perfectly packaged design element, I get all warm and fuzzy inside. As if suddenly I need to know everything about the power of Pinterest, the triggers of […]
I spent the better part of the weekend making chili, watching football and picking out pumpkins. Time out. What the heck is up with this weather, July? Apparently we set a record low in Chicago Saturday night. Meanwhile, we had plans to go to the beach. Ok, so I didn’t spend the weekend raking leaves […]
