Our family got to visit Chicago’s original immersive art and technology experience located in the city’s West Loop neighborhood: the WNDR Museum.
And it honestly went better than expected! We’re schooling from home due to the pandemic like millions of other families...
It is more important than ever to cook healthy meals for myself and my family. Cooking nutritious meals with limited ingredients may feel daunting, but it is more than possible. That's why I've joined the #UNitedWeEat challenge to show you my some of my best-balanced recipes using simple ingredients.
We got to spend the day at Santa's Village in East Dundee, IL as a family this weekend. This was our second time at the park, but the first time around the holidays. We had so much fun, again, and it even snowed while we were there!

We got to spend the day at Santa's Village in East Dundee, IL as a family earlier this summer. It was the first time any of us had been there. Let me just say, we had so much fun we'll be sure to go back!

Abigail recently visited her 50th US state. That state was North Dakota. We’ve been meaning to go up there for a while but the right opportunity took a while to show itself. Then it finally did!
