New hammock, meet my favorite hammocking trees in the neighborhood. You’ll be seeing a lot of each other this summer.
Hi, I'm Natalie, a Chicago native on the hunt for daily adventures. I find joy in long bike rides, live music, taking walks around the city and practicing yoga. I like the outdoors and Autumn. I'm a researcher by day, though my passion for arts education is put to good use as the events chair for the New Arts Forum. I believe in the power of microloans and love being a part of the amazing community of Young Ambassadors for Opportunity.

New favorite. HUGE patio (with food service coming soon), delicious eats, cocktails done right & fantastic company. Communal tables have their perks…the strangers I sat with became friends over the course of our meal-we swapped stories, food & laughs. (at Parson’s Chicken & Fish)

I love spending my Saturday morning at the Green City Market. I enjoyed a beet salad from market newcomer The Honest Meal Project & a maple pecan scone from Hoosier Mama Pie Company while perusing the offerings this morning. And how could I not bring home some purple passion asparagus? Goodness abounds.

If grandmothers around the world had a rallying cry, it would probably sound something like “You need to eat!”
Photographer Gabriele Galimberti’s grandmother said something similar to him before one of his many globetrotting work trips. To ensure he had at least one good meal, she prepared for him a dish of ravioli before he departed on one of his adventures.
“In that occasion I said to my grandma ‘You know, Grandma, there are many other grandmas around the world and most of them are really good cooks,” Galimberti wrote via email. “I’m going to meet them and ask them to cook for me so I can show you that you don’t have to be worried for me and the food that I will eat!’ This is the way my project was born!”
The project, “Delicatessen With Love”, took Galimberti to 58 countries where he photographed grandmothers with both the ingredients and finished signature dishes.
He acted as photographer and stylist during each shoot with the grandmothers, taking a portrait of both the women and the food they made for him.

Serette Charles, 63, Saint-Jean du Sud, Haiti. Lambi in creole sauce.
The photographer’s grandmother Marisa Batini, 80, Castiglion Fiorentino, Italy. Swiss chard and ricotta Ravioli with meat sauce.
Normita Sambu Arap, 65, Oltepessi (Masaai Mara), Kenya. Mboga and orgali (white corn polenta with vegetables and goat).
Julia Enaigua, 71, La Paz, Bolivia. Queso Humacha (vegetables and fresh cheese soup).
Fifi Makhmer, 62, Cairo, Egypt. Kuoshry (pasta, rice and legumes pie).
Isolina Perez De Vargas, 83, Mendoza, Argentina. Asado criollo (mixed meats barbecue).
Bisrat Melake, 60, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Enjera with curry and vegetables.
This is a project after my own heart.
Love this.

Ion Hotel | Arnessysla, Iceland
Perched on the slopes of Mount Hengill, near Iceland’s Thingvellir National Park and only an hour’s drive from Reykjavik.My childhood girlfriends have been tossing around ideas for future trips and Iceland is on the list. This beautiful hotel makes a tempting argument…
