Does your child love Minecraft? Starting this weekend on Saturday morning, instead of just playing at home, they can enjoy the game while meeting new friends as part of a local team representing Chicago, thanks to Super League Gaming and their Minecraft City Champs tournament, run in partnership with Nickelodeon. It’s like little league for Minecraft players! Fun, positive, and a special opportunity to get out and play with other kids their age. Past players clearly have had a GREAT time!
One skilled player will win

Living in northern Illinois, I’m not sure I have any choice but to be a Chicago Cubs fan! I was never that into baseball until I met my husband. We spent our first year of college at different universities, two hours apart. One way we stayed connected between visits was by cheering on the Cubbies. Now it’s something fun we can pass to our kids, too. Go Cubs, Go!

Did you know that every 2 minutes a woman loses her life in pregnancy and childbirth?
WE CAN DO BETTER.
The CDC estimates that our actual maternal death rate is 1.3 times HIGHER than what’s reported in statistics because of underreporting. Reporting maternal deaths is on the honor system. There are no penalties for misreporting or failing to report maternal deaths. Too many go unnoticed. Those poor mothers and their families.
WE CAN DO BETTER.

I think knowing at least one other language is extremely valuable and I wish I did!!! I took 4 years of latin in high school, but I really don’t remember much… I know the words that anyone else would know, too (like how arbor means tree lol). It’s easier to learn a second language when you’re younger and your mind is like a sponge. That’s why it’s so great to get kids started early–if my husband

The Mattress Professionals are entering the Midwest! Sleepy’s has been around since 1957 and have over 900 stores… now including the Chicago area! Being fairly close to the windy city, I’m thrilled! They’re a privately owned, 4th generation company that was previously just in 17 states up and down the east coast. I think they’re going to love our part of the world 😉 I was invited to attend a grand opening, but was unable to make it so I’m bringing it here to my blog instead with a review & giveaway for all
