Join me in exploring Chicago and the Midwest! I love trying out new restaurants, supporting local businesses, attending events, and embracing all that this extraordinary city has to offer. There is just so much to see and do!

The Chicago Good Life is where I share my own adventures and experiences while navigating family life with my husband Manny, and our two children, Noah and Mila. I hope I can be YOUR mom friend around town- and the midwest!

midwest travel.

The Midwest has lots of lakefront and adorable towns and cities to choose from. Illinois has plenty of cities to explore, like Galena and Rockford, and we’re bordered by 6 states! We spend most of our non-Chicago time in Michigan and Wisconsin as they’re the closest and an easier drive with young kiddos. I still have so much to explore and can’t wait to travel even further once my kids are older. Here are my current top three Midwest Travel destinations!
