 Join me in exploring the vibrant city of Chicago and the midwest. From trying out new restaurants to uncovering hidden gems, attending events, and embracing all that Chicago has to offer, I'll be sharing it all with you. The Chicago Good Life is where I share my experiences, adventures, and the joys of family life with my husband Manny, and our two children, Noah and Mila. Together, we'll uncover the beauty, excitement, and hidden treasures that make Chicago so special! 


im thrilled to be your new mom friend and guide to the chicago good life!

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! 

I LOVE THAT CHICAGO IS CENTRALLY LOCATED AND CLOSE TO THE LAKE!
