The weather is finally warming up in Chicago and it’s making me really happy. I love nothing more than being outside and exploring the city.
Today I’m sharing a new Life Lately post to catch you up on what I’ve been up to this past month. I went to a few fun events, did some al fresco dinning, celebrated my second Mother’s Day, and took a really fun trip to LA for my friend’s birthday! I pull a lot of my pictures from my Instagram and Instagram Stories so make sure to follow along.
