Well, I’m not sure how appropriate this picture is for a food blog…. but here it is folks… our big news… Yes, it’s true… this Multitasking Mom is going to have to multitask a lot more after next April. I’m 10 weeks along and feeling good! Ok, I lie… I’m queezy, hungry, and sleepy… but [...]
As always, the Air & Water Show in Chicago was a hit. It is truly my favorite event of the summer. Every year our friend heads out to stake out our claim to arguably the best spot on Chicago’s lakefront around 5:30 in the morning. The rest of us lazy folk head there hours later, [...]
Well, this week was my first full week of work. I have to admit, I really like my job. I know, that’s a good thing, right? But to me it comes with a bit of guilt & sorrow, because I have less time with my son. I do feel, though, that I’m good at being [...]
On June 24, my husband and I celebrated out 10 year anniversary. We got married at 25, and spent years working and traveling and having fun before we had our son in 2007. We were going to go on a trip to celebrate but decided to stay local. I had Thursday and Friday scheduled off [...]
This morning I’m a bit sad. The week already seems to be flying by. Every chore I take on to get done before I start work seems pointless because the house gets messy again anyway. And I’m starting to think about time away from my son and it’s making me a bit melancholy. I keep [...]
Well, I’ve got some big changes coming up. This next week is my last week of unemployment. Yep, this Multitasking Mom is headed back to work. And, not just any work… I’m headed back into the office after telecommuting from home for the past 3 years. So, I need to overhaul my wardrobe, get organized, [...]
“You don’t really understand human nature unless you know why a child on a merry-go-round will wave at his parents every time around – and why his parents will always wave back.” ~William D. Tammeus I found that quote today, and just loved it. It’s funny the things you do as a parent that you [...]
I’m happy to announce that my kitty who was on death’s doorstep 2 days ago has recovered. Our little old man has apparently outsmarted Pancreatitis. It’s supposedly brought on by high-fat foods. I’m sure him licking the pan of bacon grease had nothing to do with it. So, some yummy bacon grease, and a few [...]
Yesterday my family and I hit the beach. It was the first really hot day around Chicago. Although we live in a condo building, and therefore do not have a backyard, we live walking distance from a great beach. It makes me wonder why I ever complain about not having a yard. I stopped at [...]
Today is a sunny, yet cool day here in Chicagoland. It was one of those days you need to get outside and enjoy the day. So, we headed off to a local farm (yes, there is one not far from Chicago) to see the cows and climb on some tractors. My son had a blast [...]
