4 Things I Did This Week in Illinois and Wisconsin

This past week has been a blur in a good way! A mix of family, and food. Getting all the family BBQs out of the way before summer ends.

I stayed around Illinois and Wisconsin the last seven days, so I thought it'd be fun to share what one week in my life looks like. What's cool about this trend is that everyone's photos will be different and getting a glimpse into someone else's day-to-day is a fun way to get to know them!

Here are four snapshots of my week. Hop on the trend if you'd like!

FAMILY HANGOUTS

My siblings and I don't get a chance to be together a lot, so when we're all home visiting we make sure to capture the photo! And no, we're not triplets lol.

FRIDAY NIGHT FLIX - MOVIE NIGHT

I had the honor of emceeing the final movie of the summer at the Coronado: Inside Out 2. It's one of my favorite movies. We had a block party with 400+ guests, I made personalized keychains, and watched the movie inside the Coronado. Super fun night in downtown Rockford!

CHEEZY'S GRILLED CHEESE FOOD TRUCK

I don't care how old you are. A melty, buttery grilled cheese sandwich hits the spot every single time, change my mind. The Philly Chipotle at Cheezy's food truck is deliciousssss. Had to make a stop before leaving Friday Night Flix!

WISCONSIN STATE FAIR

I had tickets to the Wisconsin State Fair and had to get my cream puff fix! Giant corn dogs, big turkey legs, corn on the cob, strawberry daiquiri, horse-pulling competitions, pig racing and a giant Ferris wheel. I got a really good tan walking around for hours.
