Part 2 of Life Lately 💫
Love well, love deeply, love while you can. 🤍 At the end of it all, the love we gave and the love we shared will always matter most.

Buy the flowers, spread the joy, celebrate the little things and never miss an opportunity to make someone’s day a little brighter. 💐🤍✨

Apparently I’ve been watering the wrong thing… 🌱😹 My newest little houseplant seems slightly needier than the others. 🪴🐈‍⬛

Sunrise lake jumps & farmers’ market strolls 🌅🌊🍓 Just soaking up the simple joys of summer in the city. 🤍

Lincoln Park Farmers Market 🧑‍🌾 🌺

Running, walking & praising the Lord 🙌🏼🤍 Moving my body, clearing my mind and thanking God for another beautiful day. ✨

Trying rollerblading again and quickly realising I’m not as young as I think I am 😂🛼 Turns out my confidence is still 21… my knees, however, are not. 🤣

One of the sweetest blessings of finding a church home new friendships rooted in faith. 🤍 So grateful for the people God brings into our lives ✝️✨

Hey, soul sis 💕✨ So thankful for this absolute gem of a friend 💎 Gloria, you have one of those rare hearts that would do absolutely anything for anyone. You love so generously, show up so faithfully, and make the people around you feel so cared for. So grateful God crossed our paths. 🤍

Sunrise lake jumps with the gals 🌅🌊💕 Cold water, sleepy eyes & the BEST way to start a summer morning. More mornings like this, please! ✨

Not enough rooftop dinners in my opinion hehe 🤭💕 Just grateful for simple summer evenings, good company and time around the table. ✨

Cuteness overload 🥹💕 How did I get so lucky to be Aunty to this little sweetheart?! Absolute sunshine in tiny human form. ✨

Tourists for the day in Lake Geneva 🤍🌊 Wandering around, taking it all in & pretending we’re on vacation. 😂

Celebrating 3 years of us with a little anniversary day trip to Lake Geneva 🤍✨ Three years married, countless memories made, and still my favourite person to adventure through life with. Here’s to many more. 🥂🌊

Window shopped till we dropped, couldn’t walk past a big mirror and not taking a selfie 🤭🪞

Summertime Chi 2026 🫶🏻
Hold on to these moments 📷
They’re flying by so fast 🦋
Take the time with the ones you love…💕

Mother’s Day with the Greatest Mother in law! Beyond blessed by this beautiful woman!

Summertime Chi 💫☀️ Rooftops, lake days, warm nights & a city that just comes alive in the summer. Not ready for it to end. 🤍

Rooftop dinners with new friends and old 💕 Good food, sweet conversations and a table full of people we’re grateful to do life with. ✨

I’ve been keeping a little secret… 🤫🏡 I’m getting my real estate licence! 🔑✨ A new chapter, a new challenge, and something I’ve been quietly working towards behind the scenes. Excited to see where God takes this next adventure! 🤍

Quiet time with cats ✝️😻 Apparently Maverick wanted to get into the Word too… just taking “resting in His Word” a little too literally. 😂📖🐾

Good friends, questionable theories, lots of laughter, and memories I wouldn’t trade for anything. 😂🕵️‍♀️
👽🕵🏻‍♀️👩🏼‍🚀🧝🏻‍♀️🧜🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🦖🌚🚀🗺️🗽🏛️

Thankful for the women in my life, lifting me up when I’m down, pushing me to grow, praying with me, laughing with me, and reminding me just how much of a blessing true friendship is. 🤍 These are the days God gave. ✨

Blessed that I get to walk through this life with this silly goose by my side 🪿🤍 My best friend, favourite person and the one who makes even the ordinary days feel special.

My favourite thing to do 🤍 Walks by the lake with my best friend, talking about everything and nothing, and just enjoying doing life together. 🌊✨

Gals that encourage, pray and faithfully walk with me through every season. 🤍 So thankful God placed these women in my life to laugh with, grow with, and do life alongside. ✨

Aunty & Uncle life, it’s such a sweet time watching these two cuties grow up, and it keeps us on our toes while we wait for our own little blessing 🦋

Our little superstar! 🥹🩰✨ So proud of you, beautiful girl! We are your biggest fans 💕👏

Cookie 🍪 💕 So thankful for a mother-in-law who feels like family in all the best ways. 🤍 Grateful for the love, kindness and support she brings into our lives, such a blessing to have her. ✨

Playing matchmaker because my sweet friend Lauren deserves an amazing man. 🥹💕

Lauren is 37, lives in Chicago, and is open to long-distance if it’s the right person. She’s a woman who loves the Lord, the BEST aunty, loves being outdoors and staying active, and is truly the hostess with the mostess. She’s kind, hilarious, thoughtful, and the ultimate hype girl who always has your back.

If you know a genuine, kind, Christian man who might be a great match, send me a message! We’d love to set them up on a date. 🥰

Let’s see what God has in store. 🤍

Love you all! 💕🫶🏻🥰
