My sister Rebecca is one of my heroes—she’s a dedicated nurse, a loving wife, the best sister, a dedicated daughter, and the most amazing mom to my 16-month-old nephew. Even in the best of times, she does it all—but now especially, I’m even more in awe of her than usual. We both live in Chicago, […] More
Wine and cheese. Long road trips and singing your favorite ‘90s soundtrack loud enough for all to hear. Peanut butter and jelly. Netflix and your couch. What do they all have in common?

We’re not quite there yet, but a […] More
I’m going to begin with a personal anecdote: My birthday is July 2. This means that it falls on one of the most popular weekends of the year to flee town: The 4th of July. Every single year, I receive strings of texts from my friends about how they won’t be able to do anything […] More
