Things That Made Me Smile. Saturday, March 26, 2016. What Makes a Home. Saturday, March 26, 2016. But you know what? Sunday, March 20, 2016. The Glorification of Busy. Sunday, March 20, 2016. My drive to work is only 5 miles, but Chicago traffic being what it is (unpredictable and slow at times), music and news can't keep me relaxed during these stressful commutes. I recently watched Femtalk. A particular podcast episode that I really enjoyed focused on " stopping the glorification of busy. And they are ...

Hygge & Wool: February 2016

Things That Made Me Smile. Sunday, February 28, 2016. Finding the Warmth in Winter. Sunday, February 28, 2016. A week later, the weather was much warmer (in the 40's) so we decided to visit the Lincoln Park Conservatory and the Lincoln Park Zoo. The conservatory was just as lovely, and we arrived at the zoo just in time for the lions to have lunch. It made us hungry, so we hopped over to the West Loop neighborhood for Mexican food at Cemitas Puebla. Where S ordered the udon noodles and I ordered the brea...

Things That Made Me Smile. Saturday, December 24, 2016. Saturday, December 24, 2016. Holidays, as cheerful and celebratory as they are, can definitely be stressful. Be it the holiday season or just plain old homesickness, I'm feeling more anxious than ever. Recommended a while back. Having a calming 10 minutes of meditation once I get home from work and city traffic has been the perfect reset. Wednesday, December 14, 2016. Tsukiji Fish Market in Tokyo.

Things That Made Me Smile. Saturday, October 29, 2016. Our Fair City: G&O. Saturday, October 29, 2016. Recently, after spending most of my Sunday working my marketing job, our friends invited us out for some afternoon beers and a snack. I got quite a lot done, and with our vacation coming up, I still have a lot more to do, but I decided an afternoon off was deserved having made my deadlines. We headed to G&O. But here we are, back to open windows and long walks. Wednesday, October 26, 2016. From the cozy...

http://blog.hyggeandwool.com/2017/01/new-year-new-me-updated-kitchen.html

Things That Made Me Smile. Sunday, January 08, 2017. New Year, New Me! Updated Kitchen Breakfast Nook and a GIVEAWAY (Closed)! Sunday, January 08, 2017. Rug Pad: RugPadUSA.com. Blanket: Hygge and Wool. When we first moved to Chicago, our landlord was kind enough to ask us what paint colors we wanted for the rooms in our apartment. We had Deyrolle green. Being that I disliked the beige, drab walls in the kitchen, I decided on a moody blue. I went with the Anchor Grip rug pad. Growing up, I remember spendi...

We started the day like all other days, in the Lawson convenience store to grab two tamago sandos. Egg salad sandwiches - SO good! And onigiri. It was the perfect breakfast. We spent the afternoon exploring Hama-rikyu Gardens which used to be an old villa. In the middle of the pond, there is a tea house where we enjoyed matcha paired with Japanese confections (called wagashi.

Things That Made Me Smile. Tuesday, November 29, 2016. Traditional Japanese Wood Block Printing in Tokyo. Tuesday, November 29, 2016. While in Tokyo, one of the things we signed up to do was a traditional Japanese woodblock printing class. I know of the printing press Mokuhankan. While we didn't carve the woodblock itself, we used four different colors and pre-carved woodblocks to create an image from the story of Japan's Peach Boy. Friday, November 25, 2016. Tokyo, day 4.
