Chicago is a bustling city filled with towering skyscrapers, museums, and so much more during the day. But at night, the windy city transforms into an entirely different world!!!

Mitch and I really enjoy making the most of all that the city has to offer, especially when it’s something that we can involve our girls in. 

There are plenty of nighttime attractions in every Chicago neighborhood, so if you’re wondering how you can spend your time in Chicago once the sun goes down, I’ve got you covered. 

Here is a round-up of the best things to do in Chicago at night, whether you are going out alone, with your partner, or with your kids. 

Children interact with the world through play. But there is so much more to playing than just having fun and being entertained. The right kinds of play can actually benefit kids in early childhood, and those benefits can help them get through life as they grow up.

Chicago is a world-famous city that is worth visiting any time of year. As a Chicagoan, of course I’d say that. ;) But during the winter, the windy city truly transforms into a magical, white winter wonderland. The snow gives the city an extra bit of sparkle, making it one of the most popular winter travel destinations in the country!

If you’re considering visiting Chicago this winter, here is a round-up of fun things to do in the city.

Brrrr winter has arrived, which means it’s time to talk about preparing your home for the cold season. Something we have to do each and every year here in cold, windy Chicago!

To weatherize your home for winter, you’ll make repairs and improvements that are aimed at keeping cold air out while preventing heat from escaping. The good news is: there are several things you can do yourself to weatherize your home, prevent heat loss, and save energy, without needing the help of a professional. 

Putting together an outfit is always fun, but there’s something extra special about styling party outfits for the holiday season. It’s the perfect time to show of your personal sense of style with all your friends and family. So, show them just how unique your fashion sense is!

With so many festivities going on around the holidays, it’s a good idea to have several outfit ideas in mind, so you’re prepared for every occasion. Heck – some days you might even be hitting two holiday parties, and you might need a quick wardrobe change. It happens!

Fall is in full swing! Time to pour up a pumpkin spice latte and throw on a flannel. But, the plaid pattern is not just for lumberjacks! Plaid is a classic masculine pattern, but it actually looks amazing in dress form! Maybe it’s the contrast of those two aesthetics that makes plaid dresses so compelling. I’m probably thinking about it too hard. 

As the temperature drops and the leaves start to fall, I start reaching for all things warm and cozy. Hot coffees replace ice lattes, throw blankets make their way out of the linen closet. And cardigans start making their way back into my wardrobe. Always there when I need them, bringing extra warmth to my outfits when I need it most.
