Happy Holidays
Hello, everyone. I hope your holiday season is going well. Things have been crazy over here, but I just finished submitting final grades for the fall semester, so I will have a little room to breathe over the next couple weeks.

A Beautiful Week in Chicago
Hey, everyone. It's a mild, summery evening in Chicago and I am sitting by the window and breathing in my favorite scent (firewood--our neighbors are having a bonfire) while blogging. I spent the past week being outside as often as I could, and I went on a ton of walks, rode my bike, and skated, … Continue reading A Beautiful Week in Chicago
Elimination Diet Week 2
Hey, everyone. Hope you're all holding up okay. Well, I made it through my first week of the elimination diet. It hasn't been too horrible, although I do miss chocolate!

A Week of Fitness & Healthy Eating
It's Sunday evening and I'm winding down from a rare 52-degree February day in Chicago. It's also the Super Bowl, but I don't even have regular television channels and I don't care much for sports, so that doesn't really matter to me. I spent today walking my dog and exploring a new trail in a … Continue reading A Week of Fitness & Healthy Eating
A Brief Weekly Recap
It is Sunday morning and I just ate some soup for breakfast. Kind of weird, but it was a good way to start my day off with some nutrients. I made a soup with a bone broth base and added sauteed onion and garlic, carrots, celery, cauliflower, purple potatoes, and kale, and it was pretty … Continue reading A Brief Weekly Recap
School, Healing, and Working on Me
Hello, all. It's a very cold day in Chicago. When I woke up, it was about eight degrees, but the temperature is slowly working its way up. I left off last Sunday. After baking some double-chocolate banana muffins and whipping up my "healthier" peanut butter cups, I went out to dinner with my family for … Continue reading School, Healing, and Working on Me
First Week of 2020 Recap
Hello, all. It's a typical Chicago winter day--snow on the ground, chilly, and bleak.
