What an incredible month! April was filled with quality time with both friends and family, celebrations, and spontaneous evenings out. As luck would have it, my sister came to Chicago for work, so I was able to spend time with her, eating our way through Chicago Restaurant Week, staying up too late chatting and laughing at TikTok videos, and working out. I also saw my family during a trip to New York City, complete with a Yankees game and half-marathon, and traveled to Nashville to celebrate a wedding. Read on for a glimpse into my month of April.

It's hard to believe we're already halfway through the month of April; time seems to just be flying by! Last month turned out to be incredibly busy, both with travel and work, which is, honestly, just how I like it. I'm someone who thrives on being busy and having my calendar full. I did, however, take some down time when I could to ensure my thyroid behaved itself. ;) As luck would have it, my company gave us a day off for mental health at the end of the month, which is exactly what I needed. I had a massage, did some crafting, and spent time purely relaxing. For a glimpse into both my down time and busy time, read below.
I had the best February! This past month, I turned 30, which meant all the birthday celebrations. Chicago also received a bunch of snow, which you know makes me super happy. I spent quality time with my friends, saw my sister and brother-in-law, played outside, tried new foods, and celebrated a brand new decade. Continue reading to catch up on Lavender Elizabeth's first month back and how I spent my February.
Happy March, all! One of my favorites on Lavender Elizabeth is my Month in Photos series and today, I'm bringing in back! For those of you that are new around here, at the end of each month, I share what my days looked like from behind my camera, as well as my favorite moments from the prior month. Since I relaunched the blog in February, I never had a chance to share all about my first month of 2022. I started the year recovering from a terrible case of COVID, but ended it skiing in Colorado. Read below for the first Month in Photos installment of the year!
Overall, January was a relatively boring month. It started with me traveling to Charleston to see my sister and then Nashville to see my best friend, which were both so fun. Once I returned, my days pretty much consisted of working and sitting on my couch. I did, however, watch some great shows! I finished season one of Bridgerton and started watching Peaky Blinders. (Highly recommend both!) I'm hopeful that this next month will be a little more exciting. My extroverted heart is struggling!
We may be in a brand new year, but we can't forget to recap the last month of 2020. We had a true winter here in Chicago, which was so fun! December was filled with Christmas decor, family time, and enjoying the first snow of the year. Catch up on the past month below complete with blog posts, highlights, and my month in photos.
It's officially holiday season on Lavender Elizabeth! In my opinion, this is the best time of the year. Between the festive spirit, beautiful lights, and snow - you can't go wrong. My favorite part, though, is the gift giving. I absolutely love to give gifts, so throughout the month of December, I'll be sharing gift guides for all the people in your lives. First, though, it's time to recap November. I started my holiday season a little early this year, with decorations, light shows, and all the Christmas mugs.
October was a month filled with beautiful weather and changing leaves. Fall is my favorite season and we were graced with a true autumn in Chicago this year. I'm excited to enjoy another month of crisp air, but first, it's time to recap October.
It's officially fall and I'm so excited! October is always one of my favorite months and I just have a feeling this one is going to be great. But, before we officially kick-off this month, it's time to recap September.
