Slow Blogging Theory, Revised

June 6, 2010

Remember that, there, uhm, slow blogging movement? I guess when people slow down on their blogging no one actually continues to talk about it. It’s not that I don’t have anything to say here on this blog right now. I do. I want to talk about all the craziness going on with sunscreen and the [...]

Brands will bring us together

April 21, 2010

It’s not often that I can escape my bubble of SAHM-land and get together with my IRL blog friends, but occasionally it happens, and when it does, it’s great. Last week, my old friend MJ invited me to be a part of a roundtable and brand “expo” at the Hard Rock Hotel all part of [...]

Second City Baby

March 23, 2010

Ever since I had my first son and started blogging, people are always asking me what pediatrician we see, what classes to take and other random baby-related questions. Now that I’m baby-fied again, I figured it was time to start sharing what little knowledge I have of raising a baby in the Second City. Thus, [...]

The Tourist in All of Us (Me)

December 22, 2009

I hate doing “touristy” things… especially in my adopted hometown of Chicago. I try to avoid crowds like the plague (except if I’m trying to score a really great deal on December 26… you know I like to shop), and since I don’t celebrate Christmas I can’t help but find that this time of year [...]

Some Firsts

December 5, 2009

My first night out with the ladies since having #2 consisted of a few more firsts: The first time I used a breast pump in public. Well, if public is considered in my husband’s car while parked on Belmont. That’s public enough for me. He kept psyching me out that everyone walking out of Potbelly [...]

This post is brought to you by SponsHer (TM)

July 26, 2009

I’ve never been on The Price is Right or Wheel of Fortune, but after my whirlwind experience at BlogHer, I think I’ve had enough “brought to you by…” to last me a lifetime. Last time I went to BlogHer, there were sponsors and swag to be found, but this time around it felt more like a game show than [...]

#mom

May 17, 2009

It’s hard enough to keep up with my kid, my house, my hair, my grocery list, twitter/ facebook/ blog/ articles/ f’ing around on the internet, without trying to figure out exactly how to maximize and make relevant twitter/ facebook/ blog/ articles/ internet f’ing around.

Miracle on Ice

February 1, 2009

I always thought Disney on Ice was just for girls. Twinkling lights, skating princesses, fairy dust. Please. But when I was offered tickets to the troupe’s show in Chicago from the lovely folks at Feld Entertainment, I just couldn’t say no. Princesses and all. So we invited a little girl friend of my son’s and checked [...]

trust me, I watch too much TV. Trust me.

February 1, 2009

It’s January, and that means all my tv shows are back on the air with new episodes. Right now I’ve got a heavy television load to bear. I’m in serial drama hell and I can’t recuse myself from all the new shows of LOST, Damages, Nip/Tuck and Grey’s Anatomy. These four shows alone are eating [...]
