~Today was opening day of my favorite farmer's market in downtown Frankfort, IL and I couldn't be more excited!

Broccoli Binge
~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

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.

Countdown to Christmas
~Can you believe that Christmas is only a couple of days away?! Good thing I finished all my Christmas shopping lol. But if you didn't, I have a place where you'll find the perfect gift: Christkindlmarket in downtown Naperville (or Chicago, but Naperville is closer for me). I've been wanting to go to Christkindlmarket for… Continue reading Countdown to Christmas
