We are two sisters who love cooking, DIYing, entertaining, traveling, a good glass of wine (or two or three), photography, and pretty much anything where we can use our creativity. Our main mission is to keep an online journal in hopes of inspiring ourselves daily. If we happen to inspire others along the way, it would be an added bonus.
I am a 25 year old recent newlywed to my husband, Brian. I live in the suburbs of Chicago in a 25 year old condo. Yes, my house and I are the same age (my house being the one needing redecorating and updating). I love trying out new recipes, DIYing works of art to decorate my home, working on my photography skills, and above all making time for my family and friends (particularly my big sister Cortney). During the week you can find me wearing kaki’s and cardigans, as I am a second grade teacher. My goal is to use the creativity I use in my classroom on a daily basis in other realms of my life.
I am a 29 year old Chi-Town city gal living in a cozy condo with my boyfriend, Jeff. Monday through Friday I go by Miss Schmitt, as my main gig is working as a speech-language pathologist at a school in the burbs. Beyond my day job, I adore decorating, finding treasures at flea markets, seeking new adventures in the city, laughing, indulging in anything sweet, and spending time with friends and family (especially my lovely sis, Kali). Read along as I share my hopes, dreams, and outcomes (the good and the bad!).By JustKaliRae • Filed In: Halloween
Happy belated Halloween! No we didn’t go trick-or-treating (although I wish we did…candy and I get along great!), but we did participate in some festive activities. We went to the Blackhawks game, dressed as black cats! Meow!
And we got into character by walking around pretending to “claw” things. It was a great time and one of the best games we have been to! It was a “sit on the edge of your seat” kind of game and even went into overtime. And to top it off….HAWKS WON!
To show you just how much we stayed in character, here’s a little video taken just as we won the game. Wow, clearly we were super excited! We thought it was appropriate to do a little cat dance to celebrate, fully utilizing our claws. Meowzers!
