molly pg: 1/52 “Take a picture that tells us who you are, without actually showing your face.” At the end of the month I leave on my first solo trip in more than a decade. Like I always do, I’ve made a sizable to-do list to prepare. I’m counting the days and gettin
molly pg: I forgot how packed the gym gets in January! Cheers to an active, 2019 ‍♀️️‍♀️
molly pg: GIRLS’ TRIP! Another highlight of 2018 was our trip to New York City. We shopped, and ate, and saw fantastic Broadway shows, and we laughed A LOT. I wonder if I can convince these lovely ladies to do it again next year?
molly pg: In the spring, several of my aunts came to Chicago to visit for the first time in years. We spent a couple of days walking around the city and I got to introduce them to some of my favorite spots. It was a(nother) major highlight of 2018 for me! We spent
molly pg: Inspired by #throwbackthursday, I’ve decided to treat the last five days of 2018 like one big #TBT. So I went through my camera roll and found five of my favorite experiences last year. All the pics made me realize that even though this year had plenty of
molly pg: Last week we snooped around our neighbors’ lofts and saw a lot of beautiful living spaces and creative ways to stretch square footage. I came home with a bunch of great ideas! You know what the most memorable part of the day was though? This dog. He was c
molly pg: I know people say Christmas isn’t about the presents, but I sure like wrapping them (and opening them)! Hope you’re having a peaceful, relaxing day - whether it includes presents or not. Merry merry #🎁
molly pg: Earlier this year I decided to pick a spot and take a photo in that spot once a month for a year. Three months later, I’m super glad I did. Otherwise I wouldn’t have posted any photos here at all (see my most recent posts). I seem to have lost my IG mojo.
molly pg: What a difference a couple of days make! Winter is here and I couldn’t be happier. Somebody told me one that there’s no bad weather, just bad gear! I’m bundled up and ready for the snow to keep falling. Also, I didn’t crop Trump out of this shot - Mother
molly pg: I’m calling this picture “happier times.” Late last night I broke out in a nasty case of hives - which I’ve never had before. Parts of me are as red as those trees! Maybe something I ate? I wish I could look at my itchy, sleepless night as a new adventure
molly pg: Looks like @millennium_park dressed up as a magical fairyland for #Halloween. It was fun to see lots of people wandering under the technicolor trees and taking pictures at lunch. The park was definitely all dolled up and showing off! I’m trying to soak up
molly pg: Circolumbia took my breath away! Aerial acrobatics, tumbling tricks, and stunts like this one (he’s balancing that circular perch on his FOREHEAD) made their show suspenseful and mesmerizing. If you have a chance to catch this Columbian circus while they’
molly pg: We went in search of colorful fall foliage this afternoon. We were a bit early in some spots and too late in others. We did however find plenty of color at the @jellybellycandyco distribution center in Kenosha! We also found plenty of candy.
molly pg: Loved the chill in the air today, and those clear blue skies. Crossing my fingers the rest of the trees change this week! # What did you do with your sunny Sunday?
molly pg: For a list maker like myself, visiting an iconic city like #NewOrleans for the first time called for one heck of a to-do/to-eat/to-see list. I’m proud to say that of the 20 things I wanted to do/eat/see we knocked out all but one. #overachiever Several th
molly pg: The most moving experience we had in #NewOrleans was our tour of the @whitneyplantation. Our guide, Steph, was informative and inspiring. She presented stories of the enslaved people who once worked the plantation while illustrating how we are still feeli
molly pg: “City of the Dead” -Mark Twain I found the history behind #NewOrleans cemeteries to be slightly creepy, and completely fascinating. We stopped briefly at Lafayette Cemetery - in the Garden District - yesterday during a walking tour. Next time around I’m h
molly pg: #NewOrleans, you’re stealing my heart. We’ve been here less than twenty four hours and already the food, music, and architecture is blowing me away. Now, what can we do about this humidity? 😉
molly pg: All of the pictures of your #OHC2018 adventures inspired me to check out @eastlakestudio yesterday. No surprise that an interior architecture firm would have a fantastic space - but, if I’m being honest I was even more wowed by the views! Pretty spectacul
molly pg: #TBT to walking among giants. It amazed me how many of the folks I met in Central America were totally unfazed by the active volcanoes that (seemed to me) were everywhere. One of our tour guides in Guatemala even mentioned how pretty the lava flows are at
molly pg: I watched a storm roll in (very quickly) this afternoon. It was beautiful and slightly unnerving. Luckily the bus came just in time so I didn’t get completely soaked. I’m suffering from a major Monday edition of the Sunday scaries. I’m not ready to go bac
molly pg: We saw a lot of beautiful waterfalls while we were in #Iceland. But I think this one had my favorite story. As a young woman, Sigrídur Tómasdóttir guided visitors to the falls from her family’s farm. Later in life she was instrumental in protecting the fa
molly pg: Sometimes train delays mean beautiful views. Sometimes train delays mean standing around hot and sweaty while trying figure out why trains are coming in the wrong way on the tracks. Sometimes train delays mean both. Happy hot-as-hell Sunday, everybody.
molly pg: When we visited Charleston a few years ago, one of my favorite stops was #RainbowRow. The brightly colored homes stuck with me. Ever since then I’ve been excited to run into similar colorful rows of homes all around the world! (Iceland, Columbia, Italy).
molly pg: By the time we left BLVD last night they’d already re-set the dining room for today. The space is stunning. The service was attentive but relaxed. And most importantly, the food was really special. It was an ideal place to spend time catching up with a vi
molly pg: A couple new friends dropped by during brunch today. #afthunderbirds
molly pg: Took a tour of Chinatown this afternoon and learned so much - way too much for an ig caption. But this cozy little courtyard at St. Therese is a great illustration of a couple things. Green and red are a common Chinese color combo for symbolic reasons - g
molly pg: #TravelTuesday One of the best parts of our time in #SanFrancisco was our walk along the bay at Crissy Field.
molly pg: Summer chaos in the park. We (finally) went to our first concert of the season in #MillenniumPark tonight and found 7,000 of our closest friends on the lawn. It was a mad house, but totally worth it to hear a few songs from @dearevanhansen. Can’t wait to
