This month is going so fast and two boys are already down at college. After Tuesday, we will be empty-nesters, for the college year anyway, and I don’t quite know how to feel about it. Definitely keeping busy is on the agenda and not quite sure yet how are going to fill our Friday nights without football under the lights? Lol. Tomorrow will be a baby shower for my cousin and hopefully Sunday will be a pool day. What are you up to this weekend?
1. CHICAGO WITH MR. NINE
You know we love to get to Chicago when we can and after hearing it was going to be a nice weekend there, Mr. Nine just knew we had to get away after all they have been going on at home. Plus, I think he kind of wanted to cheer me up. It was one of those no agenda weekends and it was perfect. We did lots of walking, eating, and drinking and visiting rooftop bars! Sunday was full of people watching on the Riverwalk and more good food including Stan’s Donuts! I actually ate two entire donuts on the way home as I had not had anything sweet to eat in two weeks and they were absolutely delicious!
Love staying at the Trump Hotel..the view and customer service are Ahhmazing
A Favorite Restaurant is Nico Osteria. The Brussels Sprouts Bruschetta is one of my favorite dishes ever. Mr.Nine got the BEST Corn Beef Hash.
2. MEMORY JAR
Before Daisy passed, I cut some locks of her hair and wanted something special to put them in. How precious is this little Memory Jar. The boys think I should put it on the Christmas tree this year. The owner of the Etsy shop was so sweet and was even able to put her middle name on the tag as well.

4. FLORAL PANTS, TANK & FEDORA
You know I love to wear dresses but when I find pants that are as cute as this and fit this well, I’m sold! They are a dream to wear. I got these cuties at Kohl’s and it looks so cute with the tank top and fedora. This was what I wore all day on Saturday in Chicago and it was super comfortable and fun!

Every time I see you post about Chicago, it makes me want to visit there again. Your memory jar for sweet Daisy Mae is just precious. (My moms middle name is Mae spelled that way too💜) I think you are going to love your empty nest!!! It takes a few days to adjust, and then you're like, "hmmm, this isn't so bad." LOL Happy weekend sweet friend!!!

ReplyDeleteYour trip to Chicago sounds like a lot of fun and the perfect getaway. I love the idea of putting the memory jar on your Christmas tree! I have two ornaments on my tree the represent Gracie, and I cherish them so much every year when I go to hang them. I still have her stocking too, and while I don’t hang it anymore, I can’t bare to part with it either.
ReplyDeleteYour Chicago visit looked like it was a wonderful time. Good for you two for getting away- you needed it. That memory jar for Daisy is just wonderful- so , so special. I'm glad you have it. I LOVE those ice cream earrings, wish they had cupcakes haha. Have a wonderful weekend beautiful!

ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet memory jar! And I do love those Kohls pants: never underestimate the junior section!

I would love to stay in one of Trump's Hotels. I'm glad you had a great time. Love the memory jar idea. When my sister in law passed away, one of the nurses made some of family members one with a lock of her hair and her cancer ribbon attached. Her 3 boys later added some of her ashes to theirs.

So glad you got to get away last weekend! Stan's donuts are the best! I'm obsessed with those pants, they are so cute! Your memory jar is so sweet and such a good idea! Have a great weekend!

I have similar floral pants and sometimes struggle with what to wear with them. That henley tank is perfect! I love your memory ornament for Daisy. It's so sweet and a wonderful way to remember her! Your time in Chicago looks amazing! I'm hungry for doughnuts now! Haha!
ReplyDeleteI love those earrings. So cute. I love food earrings. Ha. And those outfits are adorable. I hope you had a great time in Chicago. Those donuts look amazing too!
ReplyDeleteThat's so great you got away to Chicago for some much needed cheering up and fun! That food looked delish! What a sweet memory jar of Daisy. I like the idea of putting it on the tree. Your outfits are always so stylish and put together! Dang! I just got some flowy pants for Italy. I hope they keep me cool and comfy! xo
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet keepsake of Daisy! I need to get one of those for my Gingy. Looks like y'all had a fab trip to Chicago! What a well deserved getaway. Hope you find lots of fun and new things to fill those Friday nights.
ReplyDeleteI too can't believe that college starts in one week for my daughter. I know you will miss your boys. I am so sorry for your loss of Daisy and I love the idea of a memory jar! I love your pretty outfits and so glad you had a fun time away with your husband. Take care and hugs.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the shout out, Friend! I wish our little soiree next Sunday wasn't so "simple," or I might splurge on the earrings! I am so glad that you and Mr. Nine had a wonderful trip to Chicago. I think Alise's basketball wardrobe we are about to hafta order has put a dent in the upcoming plans we had to have a quick weekend get away! ugh! I am so disappointed. Never the less, it's FRIDAY!! Hope you have a fabulous weekend! Have fun at your shower, too!
ReplyDeleteChicago looks like fun, and the memory jar ornament is such a great idea. Hope you are feeling better.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely Idea, a memory jar! Our Mainecoon is almost 13,which is pretty old for a big cat. The thought of losing him makes me sick. I am happy for you that you had a relaxing weekend!
ReplyDeleteI have never been to Chicago but it is on my bucket list. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteI have to get back to Chicago when I have longer to stay. And, dear, you look adorable in that Fedora. Hoping each day gets better and better. Hugs galore!
ReplyDeleteThere's so much to point out...your adorable outfits - love how you styled those snake skinned boots of yours. And the ice cream earrings are too much - love it. Chicago is a definite must for me now. It's on the list - next year maybe??
ReplyDeleteA weekend away is always good for the body and soul. You always look so cute. Again, I am so sorry for the loss of your dear daisy Mae. The ice cream cone earrings are darling. xo
