(I’m more obnoxiously excited than my children to have had the chance to write this sponsored post on behalf of the Chicago Museum of Science & Industry. Seriously. It’s ridiculous over here.) Every single Chicagoan knows the glory of our awesome Museum of Science & Industry; from the famed Science Storms to the impossibly detailed Great Train Story to the charming Main Street (with obligatory ice cream parlor and old-fashioned cinema breaks). And the MSI has added one more thing {Read More}

Reports From The Front. (On Their Sides.)
July 3, 2013 By Leave a Comment
Thankfully, everyone’s feeling much better around here. Unfortunately, this is what the aftermath looks like: You’d think I’d appreciate the whole “staying put” and “not climbing the bookshelves” thing. But the truth is- when they’re this worn out, I kinda find myself longing for a good ol’ fashioned Chair Topplin’. Remind me of this next week, yeah?

July 1, 2013 By Leave a Comment
So on Friday night, P.J. had an awesome Date Night planned for us. It was a surprise n’ everything. (For the newcomers, P.J.’s Christmas present to me was a year of cool date nights, highlighting and celebrating everything we say we love about living in Chicago…but somehow never find time to do.) The date he had chosen for June was an evening at Hollywood Beach. (It’s a really, really nice beach traditionally frequented by a largely gay population- meaning that it’s {Read More}

Remember way back when I posted about super-stellar playdates as part of the Hyundai Epic Playdate contest/extravaganza? Well, a) the one in Santa Barbara, CA, happened and was a blast, and b) the fun’s still going on so I was asked to blog about even more awesomesauceitude re: the perfect playdate with my miniature partygoers. ‘Cause lets be honest- some people really know how to put the adept in playdate…if you’re into anagrams…and you don’t use all the letters… ANYWAY.

If it’s your third baby. And you have possess the shortest torso known to [wo]man. Behold. And now you know my dirty little secret: if you can’t remember the last time you washed your hair, do French braids! Whimsical! This is the pregnancy that Nora acknowledged {Read More}
Smile-Worthy Things. (And One Laugh-And-Regret-It-Worthy Thing.)
June 26, 2013 By Leave a Comment
Happy Wednesday, everyone. Here are some pix that either make me smile or laugh inappropriately: One of my best friends with his blondie goddaughter- mere moments before she mildlyconcussed herself. Which, regardless of his Catholic/godfatherly guilt, had zero to do withhis presence/the plans for dim sum/anything else which I know he’s thinking at this exact moment. Nora asked me to take a picture of her in front of Zuzu’s fan with “crazy hair.” Fun factoid: Her hair looked like this for {Read More}
