Good morning from the sunny, warm, 60 DEGREE CHICAGO RIGHT NOW.

It’s going to be 90 on Thursday.

We’ve made it, friends.

We’ve made it.

Putting the blankets and the Cozy Ganoosh and the winter coats and all of the layers into the closet. WE ARE DONE WITH THE COLD.

Let’s do a QUICK recap of the week so Riyu and I can go out and enjoy the beautiful day.

Dadi got in last Sunday. She came for work, but we got to squeeze in some pockets of quality time. It was her birthday on the 3rd and so we did a mini celebration for Dadi and Ishu with Molly’s Cupcakes.

Last Tuesday, we had our Streeterville Mamas book club and the author of our book, Nathalie Theodore came by to answer some questions. It was so fun to get to talk to her about her entire process and her career shift. From lawyer to therapist to romance writer.

Pick up her book and support a first time author! She’s already drafted her second book and I’m so excited to read it!

We also took advantage of the fact that Dadi was here during our anniversary week and Ankur and I went to Hampton Social for dinner.

We decorated and ordered Mothers Day gifts.

We took tequila shots out of Caviar jars. To celebrate THE START OF THE SUMMER.

We went to Pinstripes for an early Mother’s Day brunch.

We said goodbye to Dadi and gave her lots of squishes and hugs and a promise to see her again next month!

We celebrated Mothers Day morning with a homemade breakfast and a morning at the park.

In the afternoon/evening, we went to celebrate Mayra turning five at Play Street Museum.

And then I proceeded to take an hour to myself on the 3rd floor catching up with Jen on the phone and enjoying the patio after a long winter!

Okay, I’m hurrying this along because I am just too eager to get outside.

HAVE A HAPPY MONDAY! ENJOY THE SUNSHINE, CHICAGO-ANS.
