“Let Freedom Bloom!” {Outback Steakhouse}
This Fourth of July, while my husband spends all day grilling up a chicken, I might just have to sneak out to get something to tide me over. While I love grilling and all the wonderfully delicious sides that Independence Day signifies, I don’t love all the clean-up afterwards. Thankfully, I have options! I may or may not have an… View Post
Being Informed {Scoliosis}
A few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to attend a Health Hot Button Workshop surrounding children, sports, injuries and other relevant health content for moms and families. This seminar opened my eyes to things I had never considered (especially with little ones) and stay tuned for even more from this workshop in the coming weeks. ______________________________________________________________________________ Apart from the… View Post
Saving Money with the Best Wireless Phone Plans {Walmart Family Mobile}
I am a member of the Collective Bias® Social Fabric® Community. This shop has been compensated as part of a social shopper insights study for Collective Bias and their client. All opinions are free-flowing and 100% my own. When an unfortunate accident {think a car, a bridge, and a busy four-lane highway} left us with this: The opportunity to explore… View Post
Playground Antics
Summer has had us experiencing an extensive amount of storms. The result is much tamer weather than the end of June typically has and for that, I am grateful. It also means we spend quite a bit more time outside and out of the air conditioning. I decided to get some exercise by walking with the boys to the park…. View Post
Save Time & Money with {Zaycon Foods}
I am receiving product from Zaycon Foods to try out in exchange for telling you about them. I actually heard about Zaycon first through my sister-in-law who tried their chicken and LOVED it! I’m excited to give it a whirl myself. With growing boys and a growing food bill, I’m always looking for ways to stretch our dollar farther and… View Post
Road Trippin’ with Toddlers {Thanks, Kia!}
More than ten years ago, my dad drove me towards a car dealership in hopes of snagging a car to get me to and from high school. From almost a mile away, I spotted the car of my dreams – a gold/green Kia Rio. The color was officially gold, but as anyone may tell you, it was baby poop green… View Post
Summer Brain Games from the Museum of Science and Industry {& a Giveaway!}
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of the Chicago Museum of Science and Industry. If you’ve been following our blog then you know we LOVE the Museum of Science & Industry in Chicago. From our visit to Animal Inside Out to check out The Peanuts Gang or even just to our very first time bringing our boys there,… View Post
iLove Apps {Pandora from hullabalu}
We received a complimentary download of the application in exchange for our review. No other compensation was received. After purchasing a used iPad on Craigslist before vacation almost three years ago, we love finding new apps that the boys will love when they get the opportunity to use computer time. You can check out our previous iLove Apps list here…. View Post
Insta-Recap of our Week
Phew! This week was crazy busy, but we had tons of fun. A recap mostly in pictures will suffice: Bingo Library. Our first time and we won a total of three times. Kaeli won two of those and we ended up with prizes for Charlie & Jack. Summer Camp! Charlie headed to his second week of Summer Camp and celebrated… View Post
Chicago Skyline Fireworks {from a new view}
I am receiving a complimentary pass for the Lakefront Fireworks Cruise thanks to Seadog! All opinions and thoughts expressed are my own. When Jim and I were first married, we went on a cruise across Lake Michigan and it was beautiful! I can also remember heading up the Chicago River with my aunt enjoying the city view from the water….

Visiting Nathan
A few weeks ago, the boys and I had the chance to visit Baby Nate. We haven’t had babies around us in a long while, so it was a nice treat for them to try holding him for the first time! He just turned one month old. Jack is smitten, Nathan is not. ::squee:: ALMOST makes me want another. almost…. View Post
