Dream Dinners Review {Make Meals and Memories}

dreamdinners

A few weeks ago I attended a media event over at Dream Dinners (740 N. Damen, Chicago) and I am hooked. The concept is actually genius! It was started by a mom who owned a catering business and couldn’t figure out why should be feed an army of people but not her own family! She [...]

Iconix was an event that was new to BlogHer this year and it was pretty awesome. While there wasn’t really representatives for each brand to talk to, I did get a quick tour from a PR rep whose company represents all the brands. She explained how some are new, reasonable priced and where to find [...]

Relax, It’s Lees Spill & Chill Bar #BlogHer12

IMG_3338

Lee’s Carpet is one brand I hadn’t heard of before but they had me at “Spill & Chill.” I attended their lounge at BlogHer and it was a lounge focused on pampering, drinking, relaxing, and checking out Lee’s carpet from Carpet One. My first stop was a bar where the bartender made messy drinks (Spilltini’s) [...]

Photo courtesy of Primrose School Last weekend I had the chance to visit the Primrose School of Algonquin (they are a franchise but I visited the Algonquin location.) Now being new to schools since my boys are only 4 and 5, I didn’t really realize what was out there. Heck, I want to go to [...]

One of my favorite places in Chicagoland has become Medieval Times, and I love it because it makes my kids smile. We have been there a few times with them now and it really is a great price for what you get (read my review on the new show). Well just recently we got the [...]

Ripley’s Believe It or Not {New York City} Review

Screen Shot 2012-08-06 at 3.57.27 PM

So Wednesday morning at 6 AM I left with seven other Chicago bloggers on a plane for New York. Yes I gave into peer pressure and left at 6 AM because everyone else was, and I was nice to all share a van from LaGaurdia to our hotel. When we arrived at the Hilton since [...]
