Chicago is full of places for families to spend time together all year round. There are free outdoor movie nights put on by the city, lots of parks that are kid friendly, and a whole bevy of kid friendly stores. Out of all of the options three of our favorite places to spend time as a family include:
Fisher Nut Exactly® snack bites have been recently released by Fisher® nuts. They sent me a bag and I love them. Each snack bite is only 15 calories and includes chocolate, popcorn and almond. It has no artificial preservatives and comes in four varieties!
My wife, son and I met up with my wife's mom at the county fair for the day last weekend. It's an annual tradition that normally brings a larger group of family together, but was enjoyable just the same. I brought the new LG G4 Smartphone with me and shot a little video watching my son observe and interact with the world around him.
I'm a fan of Quentin Tarantino's work. Does it often include over the top violence and language? Yes, but it is super entertaining storytelling. Make sure to watch these films when you find the time. Just don't do it in front of the younger kids. They're not gonna like it.
I've been asked that question half a dozen times in the last two weeks. Everyone from coworkers to friends and family seem to be vocally curious if we are having unprotected sex or not. We've really enjoyed the first two plus years of having Mr. Dude around, but it has been a lot of work. Going from a childless couple to a couple with a child, as well you may already know if you are a parent or caretaker, causes a great change in your life. Those early months are wonderful…
I love to spend quality time with my little family. I'd rather spend a Friday night at the drive-in or a Saturday at the park with them than get any gift. Physical gifts are great, but in the long run they wear out. Memories can last forever when written down and shared. I've always preferred experiences over things. They make me happiest. Its important for families to get moving and spend quality time together, especially during the sunny summer time. We don't get easy winters in Chicago often so those sunny…
We took a family trip to visit the official restaurant partner of the new movie this week and had a nice breakfast for dinner night out. We just had to try Denny’s action-packed fare with the new limited time ‘Slamtastic 4’ menu in honor of the new Fantastic Four movie.
My favorite car has to be the first car I purchased after getting married. It was a 2005 Hyundai Accent. It was automatic and the color was light blue. Getting our first car as a married couple was an unforgettable milestone.
One of the choices I had to make early on as a Dad Blogger was how I would treat my writing and sharing of stories about my family. This isn’t a problem solely dealt with by parent bloggers. It is also an issue any parent who shares information online should think about.
There is a lot to see and do in the western suburbs of Chicago. Deep dish pizza, for example, isn't just found in the city's downtown. There are great pizza locations all over the suburbs. Fashionable shopping options are easy to come by in the suburbs when you consider the outlet malls. Nature can be found in abundance at local forest preserves and the family night out has met it's perfect partner in Chicago's only still operating drive-in theater. There are even some award winning breweries not to be missed.
