Happy Friday everyone! We’ve had tons of rain this week so I hope the weather cooperates for our beach vacation. Let’s get to it, shall we? One. Yesterday Ben had a field trip with his school to the St. Louis Zoo. The rain held off until we left and we had a great time. Last year the zoo opened a new Sea Lion exhibit with one of those underwater tunnels where the animals swim over you. Such a neat view of these adorable animals! Two. I’ve been thinking about these Sweet Tea Lemonade Mojitos ever since Kristin over at Iowa Girl Eats posted the recipe. I think they would be great…

Weekend Recap

After the kids went to bed on Saturday night, J and I had a date night at home and watched Non-Stop with Liam Neeson.

And in case you need a cry, listen to the Bruno Mars song, 123. Then…

The Bachelorette Hits Chicago {Places, Food, & Reviews)
Today I’m telling you all about where we stayed, what we ate, and what we thought about it all. To see pictures of people not just our food, check out this post from earlier. Let’s start with our hotel. We stayed at the Omni on Michigan Ave in a double bed suite. I would definitely recommend this hotel if you’re going with a larger group. The couch in the living room pulls out to a queen size bed and you can also request a rollaway from the front desk. The location of the hotel was perfect and right in heart of everything. We were directly across from the Apple Store and next door to…

This is the best the bellman at our hotel could do. It’s unfortunate. Dinner at…
