You might remember us going to Navy Pier as a family back in October to meet Super Mario. Mr. Dude has been wanting to play Super Mario Odyssey™ at our home ever since. Luckily, Mario must have remembered us because he sent us a Nintendo Switch - Gray Joy-Con for Christmas! We knew ahead of time, but it was a surprise to Wes.
Disclosure: I’ve joined the Netflix #StreamTeam and have been compensated for writing this post. There is a constant stream of new original content from Netflix releasing over the next several months. One report I saw mentions a whopping 80 original movies hitting Netflix in 2018.

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! Subaru lent us the new 2018 Forester for a week to get a feel for the vehicle. They specifically said there was no mileage limit so we took them at their word. Hello 1,600-mile road trip from Chicago, IL to Fargo, ND, with a few stops in between.

Editor’s Note: Netflix no longer offers the Birthday On-Demand service. If you’re a parent, you know that kid’s birthday parties are super complicated. There is so much to worry about when planning a party. Supplying allergy-free treats for classmates, Pinterest decoration fails, invites, cooking, rentals, gifts, favors and more! It can all be just too much. Don’t […]
We were invited as guests of the Hofbräuhaus Chicago to celebrate the beginning of Oktoberfest 2017 with them this weekend. It is their fifth annual celebration at the Rosemont, IL location. The whole season is an event that includes live Bavarian entertainment, Celebrity keg tapping ceremonies, Oktoberfest food specials and freshly brewed “Oktoberfestbier.” The house band plays […]
I grew up on pasta. Many of my fondest memories as a child revolve around family, the dinner table, and pasta. It is easily one of my favorite foods. The sheer variety of Barilla Blue Box & Sauce delivers Italian-inspired meal solutions filled with taste, texture, and flavors to make mealtime meaningful like I remember it being as a kid.
