HAPPY HAPPY 3rd BIRTHDAY MS.MILA 🎂

We celebrated Mila’s birthday today & you know how I know it was a good time?

Both kids asleep by 6:45pm 🙌😭

It was nothing short of magical because of everyone below…seriously!

🎈 @seventwentyfive.events Amanda is INSANELY talented at party planning. Easy to work with & made our vision happen 🎂

🏃🏼‍♀️ @fitcitykids for being the BEST part of 2020. We discovered it last year & have been members ever since. Their classes, camps & open play are the BEST. You can rent out of entire space for your own party 🎉

🍽 @marianosmarket catering! Our first time trying it & loved it!

🎂 @kleinbakery is our GO-TO place to get our cakes. They are beautiful & delicious

And now the CGL party season is officially come to an end. November is the best but I. Am. Tired. 😴✌🏼#chicagomom #chicagobirthday #chicagoparent #chicagofamily #chicagokids

This Rosemary Margarita is the best from @wetwhistledrinks. Google the recipe & make it this holiday season! 10/10 would recommend to all my margarita lovers. They have some really awesome cocktail recipes!

Tip: the rosemary syrup bottles really nicely & could make a nice gift 🎁 #chicagodrinks #cocktails #cocktailsofinstagram #chicagoblogger #chicagomom

#Ad No one out pizzas the Holiday Hut Shop 🍕

@pizzahut now just launched their Holiday Hut Shop with goodies that remind me so much of my childhood. It’s giving me all the childhood nostalgia. 🎁

When I was younger, every Friday, I’d save my allowance for @pizzahut Fridays. And who remembers the old school red cups?! They have the grown-up wine glass version of those in their Holiday Hut Shop, along with PJs, ornaments and more!

Plus, the Triple Treat Box is also back for a limited time! Run, don’t walk - those breadsticks and mini Cinnabon rolls are to die for! #PizzaHutPartner #HolidayHutShop #pizzahut

When the kids are away, the hot pants come out & play 🎉
