I'm writing about a Portland rather than Chicago experience, so it's not exactly what you wanted to know, but I discovered I was in charge of paying the water bill--which wasn't cheap. It's a neces...
The bluish gray scheme sounds tempting--you can be guaranteed that it will work--but I second Sleeping Spot: periwinkle is an amazing color, restful, rejuvenating--maybe something in that range, wi...
I'm diligent about cleaning before leaving, and making sure bed linens and towels are fresh. Upon arriving home, I empty suitcases and begin laundry as soon as possible, and make sure that any pape...

This looks delicious---and makes it long for apricot season (not yet here). I am a fan of pie for breakfast.
Midsommar fest--sort of Scandi Mardi Gras--so there will be ham, various fish, new potatoes, strawberries...and lots of fancy grog!
