Welcome

Welcome to UrbanDose.

I dedicate my inaugural post to my husband, who has convinced me that with so much time I spend reading blogs (on my ipad, in bed, while he is trying to sleep), I should write my own blog. I kept thinking, ugh, I don't have a schtick. I can't DIY a thing, cooking happens about once a week in our home, I'm not a mommy blogger because, well, I'm not a mommy.

Instead, UrbanDose is simply a little bit of life from the perspective of a 30 year-old, newly married, urbanite. There are so many things that I love ( & despise), and I intend on wrapping them up all up in this cute little blog.

At the forefront is the great city of Chicago. I like to think that I am a pro in this city.. Whether you're a resident or coming in for a long weekend, I hope to help you discover a few gems. You can expect to read about date nights, my go-to restaurants, the perfect shop to find a deal, and how I spend my Saturday afternoons.

I also love planning trips. Obsessed! It's half the fun of a vacation. And you may think that means that I'm all about an itinerary while on vacay, but it's actually the complete opposite. I just like to arrive feeling like I know a few things, and know where the locals hang. You can join me in my plans and hopefully share with me some insider secrets.

I hope you enjoy UrbanDose, and maybe someday you'll find youself looking for new posts here as much as I do on all my favorite blogs.
