This past weekend my family and I drove just under two hours down to Utica, Illinois. It is just a mere 88 minutes away from Chicago and right next to Starved Rock, which is a big spot for hiking and beautiful scenery. Where were we staying? None other than the hidden gem, Grizzly Jacks Grand [...]
One of my families favorite vacation destinations is not so much a vacation as it is a staycation for us. We take the hour-long drive to Gurnee, IL, and check in at the awesome Key Lime Cove Indoor Waterpark Resort. We have stayed there for a weekend previous years but this time due to time [...]
We have been to Gurnee Mills numerous times and somehow we have totally missed that they have an amazing Ice Arena and Entertainment facility there! Yes right in the mall there is Rink Side Sports & Family Entertainment Center! It is a 60,000 square foot facility that features mini-golf, ice skating, laser tag and an [...]
Santa’s Village is an amusement park that I remember from my childhood and I couldn’t wait to take my own kids to someday. After being closed for five years, Santa’s Village is back with new rides and attractions (as of last year.) With my kids being 5, 4, and 1, we had a blast there [...]
A restaurant that has a train that goes around and delivers customer’s food, does it really get any cooler than that? 2Toots in Glen Ellyn (there is also a Bartlett location) is probably my son’s favorite restaurants, and honestly I don’t mind going there either. The joy on their faces when we walk in is [...]
A few weeks ago my kids and I got to attend the pre-opening of the new Xtreme BUGS exhibit at Brookfield Zoo. Now I will say when I first read about it, I was creeped out, but my boys love bugs and I figure it would be a learning experience. Xtreme BUGS, presented by Dominick’s, [...]
Now that the Disney Social Media Moms Celebration was official over, it was time to make up time with my family. First off we switched hotels from the Grand Floridian to Disney’s Pop Century since it was more affordable for us. What I liked about Pop Century is that it is affordable but still nice [...]
Today all of us bloggers were separated into three groups depending on what we wanted to do. One choice involved the Africa Trek experience but due to my being pregnant that wasn’t an option, the other was a scavenger hunt experience for kids around 8 years old (my kids were too young) and the third [...]
Today was the day I broke away from my family for most of the day to actually network with other bloggers (minus kids) and hear from some great speakers. After a great buffet breakfast we were ready to tackle the day! (Me and Maria with Duffy the Bear – Mickey’s Teddy Bear) The first speaker [...]
My first day at the Disney Social Media Moms Conference started Thursday morning when I checked into the Grand Floridian’s hospitality suite. I received a packet of information and of course some great Disney goodies, but it was really just exciting to be there and start seeing other bloggers I had both met and hadn’t [...]
