Four Days of Giveaways from Grow Modern Organic Kids: Day Two

November 2, 2010

As much as I can, I try not one to sacrifice the way I look and the fashion and style I love for the demands of motherhood. (Why are you not surprised?) Four years ago, when I had my first son, I bought products that fit the modern look of my home and the fashionable [...]

In preparation for this Thursday’s “Growing a Modern Organic Family” event this Thursday night at Grow (a fabulous local boutique for modern organic kids), my friend Caitlin and I are going to be discussing all the fundamental elements of the Grow boutique (grow, modern, organic and kids) on our blogs this week, with tips and [...]

How to “grow” a modern organic family!

October 28, 2010

I sometimes do things outside this blog where I actually get to interact with people and chat about interesting things. (Really? YES!) And, wouldn’t you know, I’m working on an event next week with Caitlin (a.k.a the one and only Wee Windy City) that I wanted to let you know about… Caitlin already posted about [...]

With a little help from my friends…

September 16, 2010

Things are always better when they’re done with people you like. When teutonia asked if I wanted to test out their newest stroller, the t-linx travel system, and THEN, ask some friends and colleagues to stop by a little gathering so THEY could test it out as well, I happily accepted. I love luxury items [...]

We done good.

July 14, 2010

Before there were endless PR pitches, link contests, product reviews and the feeling that if your blog doesn’t have 72 ad banners and 25 comments per post you’re a complete failure, there was just writing on your blog for fun, meeting up for a good time and feeling that you were a part of something [...]

A whole other look at Whole Foods

July 8, 2010

I shop at the Lincoln Park Whole Foods almost once a week not infrequently. At first, the store, a behemoth grocery store by any standards, let alone a Whole Foods, scared me. But I’ve grown to love the size, the selection, and especially, the sushi bar. (I even got Cyn to meet me there once.) [...]

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 [...]

Thank g-d for Peapod

March 28, 2010

First g-d parted the sea so the Jews could leave Egypt. Then g-d made Peapod. In my rush home from a vacation (where, it can be noted no kids slept and I didn’t let them cry it out), I have had no time to do my yearly pilgramage to shop for Passover food supplies. But, [...]

Bravo for Bravado

March 1, 2010

In a change of events to my personal plans (read: need sleep, stop nursing), I can no longer use the awesome nursing supplies provided to me to review by the ever so generous folks over at Bravado. But, as the saying goes, my loss is your gain. If you’re nursing and can tell me your [...]
