The last week or two has been a bit of a blur. Getting ready for our Chicago trip, being away for just under a week and then getting home and getting caught up from being away. It is all pretty draining. Thankfully it is all worth it! Getting to Chicago, taking a road trip with my hubby (one of my favorite things in the world), seeing all of our friends, celebrating their marriage and everything in between. Life really doesn’t get much better than all that.
I hope you all had a lovely week and an even better weekend! We hope to get out tomorrow to go apple picking before it’s too late and then I plan to bake up a storm on Sunday with all of the yummy apples we bring home.
Got anything fun planned for this weekend?
When I travel, I miss my daily yoga practice at my studio here in Buffalo, so much. I always try to hit a studio or two while in whatever town I am visiting. It keeps me grounded and I love checking out all the different yoga studios. Last Friday was Bloom Yoga in Chicago.
Me and my good friend, Jason.
Billy and Anne – wedding #1 on Friday night.

Yoga studio #2 on Saturday morning before the wedding. Moksha.
We got there bright and early to help get the wedding all set up.
We helped assemble this awesome box wall / alter that Billy and Anne designed.
Wedding #2 performed by my handsome and witty hubby, Mark. Such a touching ceremony, not a dry eye in the place after they read their vows to each other.
This guy 🙂
We could have smiled a little bit bigger. Geesh.
The adorable Desi. One of my favorite kids ever! Such an amazing little personality for 3.

Obligatory trip to a Chicago taqueria. We went to Taqueria Moran in Logan Square.
Some random visual goodies from Anne and Billy’s kitchen.
Nothing makes me happier than to get my baby back after a week away! I love this dog!

Spending some time going back through our full catalog of posters and photographing prints that haven’t been yet for our wholesale and retail catalogs. Ironically our Chicago print was one of the first on the list.

So many great photos. Love all of the colors. Looks like the wedding was great, I love those boxes and your dress is amazing!!!
Thanks Kathy. It was a wonderful wedding. And thanks for the compliment on the dress. It is a one-of-a-kind made by PreLoved in Toronto, it is constructed out of recycled fabric from vintage curtains and bedding, etc. I really cherish this dress so much!
ummmmmmmmmmmmmmm… where did she get her dress (the short number with lace)?
I will have to ask her for you Megzp.
Gosh Beth, you are a beauty and look and that handsome husband of yours. How cool he got to marry your friends. Looks like your trip to Chicago was great, I am sure you are happy to be home though.
Aww thanks so much Mary Anne. It was quite an honor for him to have been asked to do that. He was definitely in his glory. Such a special wedding!
that picture of the kitty is probably one of the best kitty pics i’ve seen. so cute!
Hi, just tried to read the post after this one (Almond Coconut Chocolate Bites) and got a warning that your site had a trojan and that I shouldn’t carry on with trying to view the post. Hope you get this fixed as I LOVE your site. I have noticed that there have been a lot of trojans hitching rides on vegan, raw food and permaculture sites lately. Fingers crossed you can get rid of it!
Hey there, weird one other person said the same thing today but I have checked it on multiple sites and it comes up clean. Maybe I should call my hosting company. If you get a minute, can you take a screenshot of the warning that appears for you and email it to me at tastyyummies {at} me.com so I can share it with my hosting company? Thanks so much.
