It’s funny, because I wrote [...]

Road Tripping (And a Giveaway!)

November 12, 2009

Our road trip from Chicago-land to Charleston was the first real road trip we’ve ever done with the boys. No easing into it, we had 900 miles, 2 cars and 2 moving trucks (and a dog) packed up and on the road to the South. It was quite the carni caravan.

Retail Me Not {A Threadless Giveaway!}

September 2, 2009

Puppy Love

August 25, 2009

Since Nestle has me talking back to school* and I already told you about what back to school time means for me as a mom, I thought I’d turn the focus on a member of our family that doesn’t get much air time here on my blog.

Push Back The Screen (A Giveaway!)

May 10, 2009

Spring, and possibly even Summer, are finally here in the Chicago-land (despite that 45 degree Saturday we had here that we won’t speak of ever again), and our family is finally able to celebrate National TV Turn Off Week (which was…ahem…3 weeks ago). It was way too cold here to have any kind of TV [...]

Meet Me In Kissimmee

April 14, 2009

Being new to Chicago-land and therefore new to being anywhere near the awesomeness that is Florida, I long for a vacay something fierce. Going on *gasp* 8 months of cold weather, I find myself constantly thinking about places to visit all throughout the sunshine state. The warmth, the newness (we’ve never been there as a [...]
