Discovering health, wellness and the little things in Chicago.
When I think of spinach and artichoke dip, the first thing that comes to mind is this big bowl of it that I used to get as an appetizer with my family every time we went to Claddagh Irish Pub & Restaurant as a kid. We have this outdoor mall in Cleveland where everyone in my neighborhood used to hang out at. It had your average chain restaurants like California Pizza Kitchen, The Cheesecake ...
Finally it's Saturday morning and I can sit at my dining room table, carelessly enjoying my first homemade pumpkin spice latte of the season. I can write my thoughts out from the past two weeks and get back into the bloggy world. All I've been wanting to do lately yet haven't found a single second to do so. *Insert crying emoji here*.

I'm currently ending my Friday night cozied up on my couch with two fans blowing air at me while I watch people find tiny houses on HGTV. My kind of Friday night.
