Congratulations to my friends, Michelle & Ifeanyi! An intimate group of us spent last Sunday afternoon at BOKA in Lincoln Park, celebrating them and the growing baby boy in her belly. It could not have been more perfect! We were able to meet their family members and close friends, play some games which even the guys got in on, and enjoy amazing food. This won’t be a long post, but I have just two main things to say:

1. Their baby boy is going to be so loved! ❤
2. BOKA is amazing
