Yesterday was a beautiful day. It was Friday, very nice outside and both my husband and I had the glorious day off. We decided to head to brunch at a good brunchin’ hour – around 10:00 am.

My family and I decided to take a trip downtown for some food, fun and shopping. Before stopping in at Dwelling Spaces for shopping and coffee we decided to have lunch [...]
After Thanksgiving gorging and Black Friday craziness I woke up this Saturday morning rather late and feeling quite lazy. Brunch is perfect for those days when breakfast seems too early and lunch too far away. Having never tried The Chalkboard before it seemed like an intriguing choice for mid-morning fare.
