Disney on Ice Presents Frozen & Encanto Recap

February 13, 2023


Last month I had the opportunity to go see Disney on Ice (for free) so I thought “why not? There’s worst ways to spend a Sunday”. I hadn’t gone to a Disney On Ice show in a few years. I think the last time I went was either in 2017 or 2018 and it was to see Frozen on Ice. Disney on Ice has always had a special place in my heart. When I was a kid, I think second grade, my entire school went to go see Disney On Ice. It was Pixar/Toy Story themed. Keep in mind, I was in second grade in 1999 which is when Toy Story 2 came out. So Toy Story was THAT movie at the time.

I just have so many fawn memories of that trip and of Disney on Ice in general. So when Disney on Ice is in town, I make effort to go.

Side Note: I had no idea that all 11 seasons of Kids Baking Championship were on Discovery+. I spent a majority of my weekend binging it and being jealous that a bunch of children are better at baking them me. I really want to learn to cook more meals from scratch. It’s definitely a goal of mine. Sorry for the random ramblings..

I like Frozen (I prefer Frozen 2 tbh) but I didn’t have any desires to ever see in on ice again.

Yearly Broadway Recap: First Half of 2022 (January – July)

August 31, 2022

CIBC Theatre Six the Musical Aragon Tour
Hiya everyone! Welcome to a new series here on the blog. This series is dedicated  to one of my favorite things: Broadway. I’ve decided to start doing a little “Broadway recap” sort of thing. This won’t be me necessarily “recapping” the shows I’ve seen, it will more so be me listing the shows I’ve seen. Basically, this is a way to keep track of all of the show’s I’ve seen during the year.  Instead of doing this monthly I’ve decided to break the series into three posts.

The first post (this one) will recap the shows I’ve seen for the first half of the year. (Technically the first half of the year is January – June, but I’m including July in this post too). The second post will recap the shows I’ve seen during the second half of the year. Then the final/third post will be an overview of all of the shows I saw throughout the year and different little highlights about my favorite shows, etc.    

So let’s get started!

Christmas activities to do in Chicago
Happy Friday everyone! I saw Spider-Man: No Way Home last night and let me just say, without spoilers…WOW! Definitely recommend you check it out. You guy, Christmas is next week. NEXT WEEK?! How? When? I swear it was Halloween a few days ago. Is it just me or did 2021 go by super fast. (Way faster than 2020).

As you all know, I love all things Christmas. And what’s more Christmasy than a lights festival?! Last weekend I finally got the chance to visit AMAZE Light Festival. I have been wanting to visit AMAZE for a long so I was happy when it really came to Chicago. (Okay technically Rosemont but you get what I mean!).

Here’s a few photos from AMAZE Light Festival: Continue reading

Goodbye Summer, Hello Autumn / Halloween at Petco

September 22, 2021

Halloween Costume for dogs Petco Halloween
My LEAST favorite season (fall, winter + spring > summer) is FINALLY over, so you know what that means: It’s officially fall! YAY! If you read my last post, then you already know that I start decorating for fall/Halloween (and holidays in general) super early. In my last post I showed some cute Halloween decor from Micheals. But let’s not forget about our favorite furry friends!

My dog Loki is just as into holidays as me. (I mean I can’t really blame him, look who raised him). So I decided to run to Petco to see what adorable Halloween themed decor, treats, toys and snacks they had to offer.

Here’s the Halloween collection from Petco:

Crumbl Cookies Wicker Park Chicago
Hey friends! Guess what? Today was the start of a brand new chapter in my life (but more on that later). And to celebrate I decided to visit the brand new Crumbl Cookies here in Chicago. Before I get into this post I wanted to say that I’ve REALLY been into blogging again. Like I actively take my camera with me again and I’ve been coming up with lots of fun blog post ideas. In fact, I already have the next 3 blog posts lined up. 

(I was meaning to post another one first but I was just so excited about my cookies I decided to publish this one first. Hehehe).

If you’ve never been to Crumbl Cookies…then you’re missing out!
