What’s beautiful day for some peonies at #Allerton
Loved stopping by the Tower of Baa between Windsor and Findley -what a fun place to show kids a goat tower and musical stones. Lovely hosts.
My Mother’s Day gift for myself was to go on a solo hike.. only the second since having Baby #2. Last time I was here was in my second trimester. I figure that the best gift that I can give my children is for me to happy and healthy. Sometimes that requires me to take some time by myself to breathe. #hiddensprings #discoverillinois #hikeillinois
Had a lovely weekend at @starvedrockstatepark -Stayed in the lodge. I tried to make it to LaSalle Canyon today but I hit a dead end and was by myself .. next time! I just reserved a cabin for next year and can’t wait to come back.
Saturday mood. #dinasouradventure
I loved going to the art show at the @lakeshelbyville visitor’s center yesterday -I learned yesterday that it was the 56th year in a row that this event was held. What a fun event -took both kids and my toddler loved seeing the art.
What a gorgeous afternoon for a walk in the park
I haven’t made it for a hike since coming home from the hospital but got one step closer today.. made it to #hiddenspringsstateforest ✅and got the little one comfortable in my baby carrier ✅✅. My son wanted me to play with him at the playground so I didn’t make it into the woods but got some great fresh air and family time. I feel like this place is a hidden gem near @lakeshelbyville .
One of each please! #fernandosfoodtruck
I love hiking in the winter. Bundle me up with a warm cup of hot chocolate. I will take mornings like this anytime.. #discoverillinois #hiddensprings
Saturday hike. #hiddensprings #discoverillinois
My son is living the light display at the Forest Park in @lakeshelbyville -we sent around 3 times last night so he could see the rocking horses and dinosaurs over and over.
Want to give a shout out to @make_on_main in @lakeshelbyville for giving my son great art lessons each week.
Wreath shopping today at #NoBadDaysFarm -my second time here. @lakeshelbyville is lucky to have them.
It’s been a while since I’ve been on a #weekendhike -first time hiking at Hidden Springs.
First time at the Schaefer Pumpkin Patch today. I saw a sign on my way to Tower Hill (don’t ask) and look a left turn to Beecher City. What a great hidden treasure.
What a beautiful fall morning for a short hike at the Dacey Trial -I printed out a map and I’m impressed by how many miles of trails there are. Can’t wait to explore the mountain biking trails next spring after Baby R.
What a beautiful evening for a ballon fest with the Scarecrow Days at @lakeshelbyville
First time at the Japan House today -was here for a photoshoot with @pixelsbyemily . What a hidden treasure.
Word.
If you haven’t had a Thai Tea before, have you really lived? kidding.. but I do love a nice Thai Tea, Crab Rangoon and Pad Thai lunch
I’ve always had a crush on work share spaces. I first came here for a business lunch about a year or so ago. Since then, it’s been a nice little hideout for me .. a place that I can eat a meal, grab some coffee and work with my laptop without fear of being ran off by my server. I even checked out the child care here -I would have sent my little man but he had just gotten off the wait list at Next Generation. What a great place for folks in the Champaign community.
Have you been to the Rainbow Alley in @lakeshelbyville ? What a beautiful and creative use of a wall.
Haven’t been here post-COVID … great place a few blocks from the courthouse to get a nice, spicy lunch. There are a variety of choices.
