Personal Faves

Yes, we had another baby and I am back to breastfeeding which I think could be considered a part-time job.  Amelia Claire was born on March 31, 2011 at 12:25 p.m. and our house became even more of a circus than it already was with a two year old.    Actually, we are managing but [...]

October 14, 2010 marked our fourth wedding anniversary.  I informed my husband I would not be cooking and so we packed up Graham, his food, his new “big boy” travel high chair, his books, his diapers, etc. and went to one of our local sushi restaurants [my personal fave- Triad]  After we ordered the appetizers [...]

I hinted in my last post that I had a blog I was secretly loving and now I’m letting the cat out of the bag.  You all know I am a wanna-be fashionista.  By that I mean I love fashion but it doesn’t come effortlessly to me.  I have to scour magazines, people watch (which is [...]

Hi, I’m Sarah and I’m a Choco-Holic.  I debated about how to name  my addiction and that is definitely the most accurate description.  I do like all sweets but am addicted to chocolate in any form, especially ice cream that includes some type of chocolate like crushed up Oreos.  Seriously, I will [might] pass on [...]

I cannot believe I haven’t written about this place yet!  It’s either because A) it’s so amazing it’s difficult to put into words or B) I don’t want anyone else going here and making me wait longer for a table.  I have to give great thanks to our friends Maureen and Chris for introducing us [...]

It has been awhile since my last post and I suppose that’s an understatement.  I have been celebrating summer vacation by traveling non-stop.  Traveling is all sorts of different with a toddler involved– especially since Graham decides it’s more fun to stay awake on the plane rather than sleep.  We have been on 4 flights [...]

Date night pre-baby was so easy.  We might be sitting around on the couch on a Friday afternoon, look at each other, and say: “Want to do something tonight?”  We could scan the internet for the newest it place downtown, call up friends to see what they were up to, or go to our favorite [...]

This blogging about food I like is really bad for my diet.  Thankfully I figure if I work out then I can indulge my sweet tooth.  It’s like when I order a non-fat hot chocolate with whip cream at Starbucks… evens out right??  Writing about the cake at Sweet Mandy B’s is seriously making me [...]

I’ve got a load of laundry in the washer, the baby is napping, the kitchen is clean and I’m inspired to write this personal fave because I just had it for lunch!!  (and dinner last night)  I’ve been thoroughly enjoying my two weeks of holiday vacation although I haven’t been super inspired to cook.  After [...]

Thanks for this personal fave go to Maggie, a classmate at the University of Chicago, who first introduced me to Mario’s.  When she found out I lived in University Village she exclaimed, “You can walk to Mario’s!!”  I had no idea what that was but am very grateful that she introduced me to this Personal [...]
