The Chicago Youth Comedy Festival is hosting a brand-new, one of a kind (and one day only) comedy extravaganza for- and with- young audiences.

April 27, 2016 By Leave a Comment
Disclosure: As a Pearachute ambassador I receive- among other things- comped classes, but all thoughts, opinions, and beautifully tired children are entirely my own. (Make sure to scroll to the bottom for a crazy-awesome discount code!) *** I’ll admit it: between Easter travels and Spring Break non-travels, I haven’t been the greatest Pearachute sharer in the world. That changes now. I joked to Erica, V.P. of membership, that our Pearachute account is the 6th family member. (You know, the one {Read More}

Disclosure: This is a sponsored review by the superb clothing company Princess Awesome, but all thoughts, opinions, and ecstatic daughters are entirely my own. *** Let me let you in on a little secret: I absolutely adore brands which promote strong, brilliant, givin’ not a care for gender norms kiddos. And when they happen to make gorgeous clothing, it’s even better. (And no, those two things are not at odds.) I absolutely adore Princess Awesome. Did you think I invented {Read More}

April 15, 2016 By Leave a Comment
As a Stream Team member, I usually blog about the best of Netflix’s streaming best…but THIS month I get to give an insider’s look at the Netflix Original movie Pee-Wee’s Big Holiday. They also gave me a map! I’m drunk on power. Follow along! (But hands off my root beer barrels and my Joe Manganiello.) *** If you grew up thinking Pee-Wee’s playhouse, contraptions, and speech patterns were the height of comedy… ..then you probably didn’t grow up at all. {Read More}

Disclosure: This a product review for Hidden Garden Foods and I was compensated with deliciousness, but all thoughts, opinions, and ginger snap crumbs are entirely my own. *** Cookies. COOKIES. Who wants cookies?! (I swear to goodness, sometimes my job is stupidly easy.) When the good people at Hidden Garden reached out to me and asked if they could send me some cookies to try, I immediately said yes. When they informed me that the gluten-free, nut-free, all natural cookies {Read More}

Let me preface this by saying that I do not- nor do I plan to- have twins or triplets (or- sweet Lord- more). I am not pregnant. In fact, I have the distinct privilege of coming at the review of Multiples Illuminated (as the mother of three solo passengers) with a giddy air of wow, that is CRAZY/awesome. Besides, when folks you respect and dig put together an anthology, it’s hard to not want to immediately help pimp it out to {Read More}

And now, a new segment I’d like to call… Places I Need To Go To But Will Pretend I’m Writing About For Your Benefit: East-coasters know the Chatham Bars Inn in scenic Cape Cod; that turn of the century bit o’ gorgeousness which was originally founded as a luxury hunting lodge for wealthy Bostonians (man, if I had a nickel for every time I Googled that vacation for myself) and is now one of the top 100 hotels in the {Read More}
