~Like most children, I was not a fan of broccoli or anything green growing up. But as I and my palate matured I came to not only like broccoli, but rather enjoy it. And I'll always remember how to spell it because every time I think of broccoli I think of the movie Daddy Day… Continue reading Broccoli Binge

It’s good to be back <3
~The Frankfort Country Market had cancelled its Spring market due to the coronavirus, but today was the first day of their modified Summer market!

COVID-19 & Me
~Hello everyone, Wanted to give you an update in light of these unprecedented times. I’m doing well, not feeling sick at all, and still working since veterinary medicine is considered “essential”.

Announcements!
~You might have noticed that the Market Map page is missing. That's because I'm in the process of making sure the information about the markets I've visited is as accurate as possible.

Sickness Saga Part 3: This sh*t is bananas

Sickness Saga Part 2: Becoming a medicine baller
~Today's a better day, not as stuffy and not coughing as much. Does that mean I'm finally on the mend?! God I hope so -_- Earlier this week I was okay enough to run errands around town before meeting some friends. In the middle of errand running, I decided to treat myself to a rare… Continue reading Sickness Saga Part 2: Becoming a medicine baller
Sickness Saga Part 1: The Beginning
~Ever hear of the expression 'I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired'? Well, that's me. To a T. In every literal sense of the word

Long Grove Strawberry Fest 2019
~Last weekend my fiance and I checked out the Strawberry Festival, an annual event held in Long Grove, IL from June 21-23 (we went on the 21st since we both had the day off).
