Chicago’s world-famous winters can make it difficult to comfortably discover the city, but that doesn’t mean the fun has to go into hibernation. In fact, January is an ideal time to experience Chicago’s renowned cultural institutions. Museum Week returns Jan. 18-26, 2018 with discounted admission, exclusive offers and special programs. During the nine-day celebration, Illinois residents will receive either free admission or… View Post
This is 7. They say time flies when you’re having fun and it has gone at lightning speed since you made your debut. You do things on your own timeline, in your own way, and to the beat of your own drum. You are a leader, not a follower. You are a heartthrob, a Romeo, and the very bust snuggler…. View Post
2017 was the year of evolve. Learning to adapt, readapt, and figuring out how to adjust with new schedules, life changes, and more. It was a slow progress, but one that I am feeling comfortable in. Small changes adding up to big differences – in home, with family, in health, and more. This year, we’re looking to take evolve to… View Post
We love our tiny house. It’s not a literal tiny house like you see on TLC, but it is definitely on the smaller side. And really, by choice! We have plans to expand, but for now, we are loving the space we are in. I am NOT known for my organizational ability, but I *have* been doing a good job… View Post
Woke up this morning and realized that a full schedule and to-do list meant that Walking Club wasn’t going to happen. Because I am v. committed to gettin’ those steps in, I decided to go RIGHT AFTER I brought the boys to school. Before we left, I worked on getting everyone ready to leave. Breakfast? Check. Oh, you hate breakfast?… View Post
About two months ago, I started walkin’ and haven’t stopped since. Generally, I try to head out and actively walk 4-5 times per week and as a group 2-3 of those times. Our Walking Club has gone around the south suburbs, but one of my favorite stops is the local community college. With a small pond, fountains, and the changing… View Post
This is 35. The past 34 years have been good to me. Heck, the last year has been GREAT to me. I grew my hair out, dyed it blonde, added a nose ring, and started a journey of self health. I’m more confident than I was a year ago and feeling more comfortable in my skin. I thought I’d feel… View Post

While we opted to fly this time (and will probably do so in the future), we also rented a car to get us around to the farther (not very far) places that we could not walk to, BUT we also opted to take most of the city by walking storm and it was GREAT to get the exercise, explore the… View Post
One of the biggest lessons we’ve learned when traveling with the boys is that flexibility is KEY! For our Charleston getaway, we opted to be VERY easy breezy and each chose a few things we really wanted to do/eat/see before we left. We opted to fit those things in based on the weather, what worked for us, and what was… View Post
