Back in the days when it didn’t count, there was only one yearly face-off between the Chicago cross-town rivals, the Cubs and the White Sox. It was called a number of things, but when I was younger, I remember it being referred to as the Windy City Classic. No matter which side you cheer for, […]

I mentioned my infamous listing a few blog posts ago – I make lists of everything; including (rarely) lists of lists to make! This list is for physical things, rather than everything that will change with the addition of a boy. Obviously, things like potty-training, long car rides, and even every meal time will be different while taking

We were privilaged to get to spend an evening without kids to take in a local community theater’s production of Little Women, the Musical. I must be honest – the music in this musical is not my favorite. It has nothing to do with how it was performed or who sang it; it just seemed
We went to see the newest M. Night Shyamalan movie last night – The Happening starring Mark Wahlberg and Zooey Deschanel. It’s an end-of-the-world type movie, but what sets this one apart from the others is that neither the audience nor the characters in the movie know what is happening to the population and why. People just
Oops, I forgot to mention a few things about the Potawatomi Zoo in South Bend, Indiana in my post the other day. Even though it was small and not very well taken care of from an aesthetic point of view, we had some of the best animal encounters there – can’t believe I forgot to
It’s time for our town’s annual summer fest; they call it the Jubilee. Every year I’m compelled to attend, even though I become more disenchanted with the whole affair as years pass. I just really like summer fest atmospheres, and I can’t resist going when we live within blocks of it. It’s fun to take
Watched this Mole episode a little late this week since the kids were rambunctious about settling down after an exciting week at Grandma’s – turns out I hadn’t missed much. I really liked the Fruit of the Luge challenge where the players divide into teams of 2, and one person is blindfolded and driving the
Today is my husband’s birthday! Poor guy, he has to work. It stinks that when you become an adult, you can’t take the day off on your birthday. When you think about it, each person would get only one day per year, it could be easily proven when your day is and if you’ve already

Well, it’s that time again, the lovely third trimester of pregnancy. It creeped up on me really fast while I was waiting for the ‘golden age’ of pregnancy to kick in – the second trimester. Except that I never felt as great as they say you should feel during the second trimester, so while I was waiting,

Of all the places to find fun, who would have thought that middle of nowhere, IN would be such a sight? Every summer, we meet my mom there about 4 times to swap the kids. She’ll take them for a week, twice a summer, so because South Bend just happens to be about as close
