@sassyconfetti & I took our @toyotausa #tundra to hike the Lookout Mountain in Arizona! The uphill/downhill shift logic & 14 inch touchscreen came in handy getting up to park this mountain!

We are now off to the Cubs Spring Training game! AD #toyotagrandslam #arizona

St. Patricks day themed tea time is here at @lhchicago 🫖 ☘️.

It starts with a basket of soda bread, scones and Irish shortbread. Followed by the second course, this adorable tower filled with sweet and savory treats. I loved the corned beef roll, cucumber sandwiches and more. We left with to-go boxes because it’s a good amount of food! Each guest also gets their own tea kettle of their choice. $85 per person and there is a kids menu with separate pricing. It’s here only this month! Thanks for hosting mw @lhchicago!

And thanks @streeterville_mama for joining me! 🫖

☀️ NEW SERIES ALERT ☀️ Make your Own Paradise, but in Chicago. I’m on the hunt for more tropical 🌴 places to make us all feel a little less cold this March. It might be cocktails, shows, things to do, restaurants and more! Anything to help bring Spring Break to us! 🌸

Starting with @bargoachicago This Indian- Portuguese fusion restaurant has fun cocktails like this called Sea Foam or Toes in the Sand. They also have daiquiris on happy hour! Its a really great after work drink spot in River North! They also make their own tajin, which is really really good!

🗣️PARENTS & CAREGIVERS 🗣️did you hear that storm last night?! 🌧️ it means spring is coming. Which means summer is close & it’s time to start thinking about those two stressful words. “Summer Camp”

So let me try to help a bit!

I’m working with @galileocamps again to share our first camp experience last summer. @galileocamps is a STEAM camp that is hands-on, project based and incorporates outdoor like water day each week, skits, songs & more! Noah came home with a project every Friday (hello catapults, launchers and contraptions!)

You can sign up for a week at a time & registration is now open! I have a 15% off code for new campers & returning. 10 locations across the city & burbs.
Code GOODLIFE15
