Dreams feel real while we're in them. It's only when we wake up that we realize something was actually strange. - Inception 💭 #dreamwithinadream #highup #citylife #chicago #vsco (at Chicago, Illinois)

Gooood Morning y'all! 🔹 Woke up this morning with a HUGE grin on my face. 😀 lately I've been feeling blue for the past couple of weeks. I woke up took a hot steamy shower, painted my nails metallic gold, ate a full breakfast with my kiddos, slapped on my favorite lipstick. Heading to the train in a bit to go explore downtown/northside with some good friends! (new and old)💄☕📷⛅ have a great rest of your weekend. #vsco #coffeeonhand #happy #sundayplay #explore #friends #followthejoy #cappuccino #lovely (at Chicago, Illinois)

Smells like: Vanilla, chocolate and cherries Taste like: Heaven (at Original Rainbow Cone)

Listen earnestly to anything your children want to tell you, no matter what. If you don't listen to the little stuff when they are little , they won't tell you the big stuff when they are big, because to them all of it was big stuff. -- C.M. Wallace ( I've been teaching myself to be more patient with my children.) #lifelessons #parenthood (at Chicago, Illinois)

Talk about what you love and keep quiet about what you don't- so hers to the simple moments in my day despite the constant flow of dishes, toys, laundry, garbage. Happy Saturday y'all. ( working in slow mo today.) #weekend #lazy #relax #motherhood #latergram (at Chicago, Illinois)

Eventually all things fall into place. Until then, laugh at confusion, live for the moment and know everything happens for a reason. #coffeebreak #keepmoving #asadocoffee #life {{ anyways this is my all time favorite coffee shop in the city. It's a hidden gem. Right in the alley way.}} ☕☕ (at Asado Coffee)

Moody vibes. ☔ #vsco (at Chicago, Illinois)

I was a little nervous posting this photo on #Instagram, but Jake was sitting watching me air dry my hair out the window and snapped this beau(oo)tiful photo of me. (don't worry it's a yoga body suit) Photo credit 📷 @jwolfhorwitz #sexiness #legs #chicago #agentlewomen #ladylike #vsco #vscopeople (at 99th Street – Beverly Hills)

"It doesn't matter all at once. You become. It takes a long time. That why it doesn't happen often people who break easily, or have sharp edges, or who have to be carefully kept. Generally by the time you are Real, most of your has been locked off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in the joints and very shabby. But these things don't matter at all, because once you are Real you can't be ugly, except to people who don't understand." -- Margery Williams.
