Chicago Fashion Blog featuring Style, Decor, & More
Well hello there! How are you? Did you have a nice weekend? The weather here in Chicago was THE BEST. Seriously, people were flocking outside to see the sunshine because I don’t think we believed it still existed.
Remember when I said, “Something’s gotta give?” Well, that something is today’s blog post. Sorry to disappoint you my friends, but I did not finish today’s post in time to go live. Too much work to do! But do stay tuned, I’ll be back on Friday with some of my spring-time Shopbop picks! Until then, have a happy hump day!
I’m so excited for today’s post! I’ve partnered with my friend Emily from Isn’t That Charming to bring you her latest installment of The Secret Series! Emily’s concept for this series is brilliant – she partners with friends and fellow bloggers from across the web to share hidden truths on topics ranging from love, business, parenting, and more.
I love this series because it’s an honest-to-goodness look at real life, in all its imperfect glory. Her first post included secrets to a happy marriage and her second featured secrets to being a productive mom. And today we’re sharing secrets to a happy home! Read on for some of my favorite happy-home tips! (And be sure to check out Emily’s post too!)
Last week was a doozy. I’ve had a lot (ok, too much) on my plate lately, and it all culminated in a breakdown in my health last week. I got hit with a nasty virus late Wednesday night and it kept me pretty much comatose on the couch the whole weekend. And sure, I could say, “Oh everyone gets sick, it’s not a big deal, just take some DayQuil and get on with it.” But I think there’s more to it. I think my body is trying to tell me, “You’re trying to do too much.”
