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 […]

Dream Dinners Review {Make Meals and Memories}
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 […]

Relax, It’s Lees Spill & Chill Bar #BlogHer12
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) […]

FitBit was the only company I was somewhat familiar with as I bought myself […]
