I can’t believe it’s already Monday! I hope you had a wonderful weekend enjoying that 70 degree weather yesterday. After having a restful week trying to get over a head cold the warm weather was much needed. We walked to the Fulton Street Farmers Market on Saturday which felt amazing to enjoy some fresh air. We also helped clean up our neighborhood by picking up trash with Outside Coffee Co. I’ve noticed so much trash laying around after the snow melted and I’ve tried to bring a bag to pick it up when I take Wrigley for a walk. Maybe we can make this a challenge this week to pick up the trash in our own neighborhood?
What I’m Excited About This Week

Things I’m Loving Right Now
Cory and I are making shrimp tacos tonight and trying this recipe. I’ll report back if it’s a keeper recipe.
Cory wore this charcoal t-shirt from Reservoir this weekend to enjoy the warm weather. The fit and texture of the shirt are both amazing and great for layering. Thank you Reservoir for gifting this shirt!
I’m taking 10 minutes every day to learn some Italian and Duolingo is super helpful. If you’re interested in learning a new language I would recommend this program!
