Another episode of Coffee with Christine coming at Another episode of Coffee with Christine coming at you. ☕️ Something I’ve been thinking about is the month of November. It’s usually my favorite month. Friendsgiving, endless family birthdays (Mila turns 2!) Thanksgiving & the feeling of the holidays approaching. I look forward to it this year. But this year is different. No big celebrations. No parties. Not seeing my friends or all of our family. I actually had a moment the other day about it. But I have to say, looking at the positive of it. November will be more time spent the kids. Buying things we need rather than want. Planning small & simple. Not running on empty from party to party. Simplifying my life this month is something I actually look forward to. This is forcing us to condense everything, cut out the unnecessary. So what I’ll be doing? Pouring a big cup of @tchibocoffee_usa to warm my soul all November long. It’s new to the Chicagoland area & delicious. It’s that fancy everyday coffee you need right now. You can find it at Tonyi’s, Jewel, Pete’s Fresh Market & more! AD #TchiboCoffee #EuropeanCoffee #FresherByDesign #coffee #coffeelover
That Bears game sucked, but this weather doesn’t That Bears game sucked, but this weather doesn’t! 🙌🏼 We had the most productive day everrrr! What’s one thing you go done today?!! Happy Sunday 🍁 #happysunday #chicagoweather #chicagolife #theeverygirl
