If you are close to Chicago, you may want to check If you are close to Chicago, you may want to check out the @stranger.things.store in Oak Brook!  It’s only open for a couple more weeks, but it’s def worth checking out if you are a fan!  Lots of fun photo ops, exclusive merch, and plenty of details to take in! 

We recently planned a stop and visited on the way to our vacation final destination!  Loved surprising the girls with this one!  The only other stores are currently in Dallas and Paris!!!

At the start of every school year, I looked forwar At the start of every school year, I looked forward to the one year the girls would be together in school and get to ride the bus together. Well, this is that year, but  instead they but they are split up with Ella heading into 5th at the Intermediate school that’s probably bigger than my high school and a class of what I heard was 700+ 🤯 and Olive heading into Kindergarten at Shamrock ☘️ which also might be bigger than Dwenger 🤣. Can’t wait to see the what this year brings! 

Cheers to a great 2022-2023 school year!

We have the BEST memories going to the fair and make more every year!  Plus, there’s something for everyone. 

What’s your fave fair memory?! 

The popular $2 Tuesdays are gone since the fair is closed Mondays and Tuesdays. Instead, fairgoers can take advantage of $3 Thursdays, with $3 admission, $3 midway rides and $3 food options at each food stand.

After two weekends away, and yes I swear I'm worki After two weekends away, and yes I swear I'm working on recaps, it makes me realize I'm a true combination of a curious homebody.  Whenever we go somewhere, all I really want to do is get back home, but I also don't want to "waste" the trip so I want to fit in as many fun moments as I can!  It could be making sure we hit that candy shop we saw on Yelp, or going to a popular tourist location, or walking around a historic location... No matter where we go as a family, I try to fit at least something in that we can't get a home. 

Whatever it is, I don't want to miss the opportunity to make memories and take advantage of a little adventure... 

But there's something to be said about home... 
Your own bed... 
Your comfy couch...
The way your home smells... 
Your friends... 
Your routines... 

So, let's all take a moment to take it all in, be grateful for all that we have at home and realize that, for a lot of people, home is their happy place, and we are the lucky ones. 

*On that note, I'm working on a few things that should be posted soon!  I'm excited to share our recent travels, a couple DIYs, and more!  I am always slow to share because I just feel like there aren't enough hours in the day, but please hang in there with me because I hope I offer something to all those who follow here!  It's a place where you'll find good things, but sometimes, good things come to those who wait patiently on a busy working momma who is tired! LOL.  Keep an eye out for new content soon!
