Who recently moved from a city to the suburbs and needs landscape and gardening advice?? because I have LEVELED UP. And by #leveledup I mean that the two feral cats I care for have turned out to be the easiest and greatest critter repellents and yard fertilizer-ers around. But here are some other tips: 1) talk to your neighbors and see what’s going on in their yard
2) download @picturethisai and use liberally
3) join your local plant or garden club (if available)
4) join the rewards program at your nearest nursery
5) you’ll always need gloves I have more tips on my blog so check it out. #gardening #beginninggardener #beginninggardening #gardenadvice #organicgarden #organicgardening #gardeninglife #gardeningtips #zone5 #zone5gardening #zone5b #dupage

Is it a weekend if I haven’t visited the mother

Is it a weekend if I haven’t visited the mother ship? 😂 Ever since @theoriginalrainbowcone opened its 2nd permanent location in Lombard, a visit to this established-in-1910-ice-cream-shop has become a weekend tradition for me! It’s just too good. I can’t explain why all 5 flavors together taste so delicious, they just do. And, good news! @buonabeef in Westmont is adding an Original Rainbow Cone outpost at that location too, so the Western Suburbs will be flush with tasty treats! •

Sippin’ on some @docmaremmatoscana #Vermentino and it is quite the perfect pairing for some @gibsonsitalia salmon. It took me too long, but I have a new blog post about the @ieemusa Maremma Toscana wine tasting I attended. It made me miss in person tastings, miss freely traveling to Europe, and realize that my tasting skills did not decline nearly as much as I feared they had! #maremmatoscana #doc #italianwines #winesofitaly #andiamo #vinoitaliano #vino #vinorosso #toscana #tuscany #supertuscan #organicwinery #organicwines #citadeltufo #sangiovese #ciliegiolo #winestudy

What’s the wildest thing you’ve done to get your hands on some wine?? Happy #nationalwineday to all my fellow wine lovers. The wildest thing I did for wine was order a case of @fujishincellars wine to be delivered to me while I was in @visitsandpoint last year because they don’t ship to Illinois. I packed my suitcase full of inflatable wine carriers and flew home to #illinois the bottles that we didn’t drink in #Idaho. My suitcases were borderline overweight, but I’m glad I got these babies home. #travelblogger #midwestblogger #wineblogger #drinkamericanwine #americanwine #drinkidahowine #drinkwashingtonwine #sunnyslopewinetrail #pendoreille #ponderay #7b

I have a secret... I’ve switched to #nonalcohol

I have a secret... I’ve switched to #nonalcoholic drinks during the week! With brands like @bigdropbrewco making a full range of #na beers, @buzzkillwines making NA wine, and @dhosspirits serving up tasty 0 alcohol spirits like Gin-Free, it’s super easy to make the switch. Have you tried any NA drinks? What’d you think? #alcoholfree #nadrinks #mocktails #mocktail #maternitini #nabeer #chicagomade #nearbeer #keto #lowcalorie #zerocal #maternitydrinks #bbqlife #healthylifestyle #alcoholalternative #outdoorliving

Who is in need of some #patriotic gear for Memoria

Who is in need of some #patriotic gear for Memorial Day/life in general? @castawayack has so many great options for men and women, from 🇺🇸 printed skirts, belts, and hats, to beautiful knit sweaters like this one. It’s a men’s small, and for me it’s perfect for evenings on the lake or on a boat, when it gets just a bit chilly. What’s even better, you can use code “JAIME” for 20% off your order through June 30th. No excuses, unless you’re a cat. •
