The other day Princess, Angel Face and I were sitting at the dining room table chatting, as we enjoyed a rare “girls’ lunch date” together. The topic turned to summertime beauty, and as the girls shared their challenges and asked for advice, we came up with some Summer Beauty Do’s…
Every year we stop at the same mall to have lunch before hitting Great America. This Taqueria opened a couple of years ago and it’s been something I look forward to every year. Mmmmm… I got Barbacoa and Carnitas aka slow roasted beef and pulled pork tacos; Mexican style,…
Like most parents, I struggle with getting my kids to do chores and am always looking for new ideas to try. Since we have different chore expectations for summer and the school year I end up making at least two chore charts for the kids each year: one for summer…
By this time we were all ready for the hotel. Come on traffic – I’m SO ready to get comfortable! Finally – our hotel room. Time to get comfy, find a snack, then hit the hay; it’s been a big day. Tomorrow will be just as busy, and starts…

On the way to the Field Museum I spied some service members on a corner. Chicago is really hopping with security! It wasn’t long before we arrived at the Field Museum. I don’t know about the kids, but I’m such a history geek I couldn’t wait to get into…
