Henri and I had a lovely staycation at the Park Hyatt this week. It was an unexpected and fun little adventure downtown to enjoy the hotel and Michigan Ave. Henri had a blast exploring the dog-friendly hotel and he watched the cars from the window in between naps.

While I was in the store, I picked up a few gifts for friends and I was surprised to see they have the Mariage Frères advent calendar. I can’t wait to enjoy this all December long.
