Happy Friday guys! I was in Chicago for the entire week, and it was the longest time that I’ve been away from my kiddos (Boo!). Despite the fact that I knew that they were in the excellent care of their father, I still thought about them constantly. We squeaked in some FaceTime calls which helped me immensely. The best part of FaceTime was seeing their smiling faces pressed cheek-to-cheek, they both wanted to see me and be seen at the same time. So adorable.

Chicago, as usual, is an awesome place to visit. It is home to a few of my weaknesses (popcorn and beer) and they do it better there than anywhere. As soon as I landed, I made a bee-line to Garrett Popcorn in the airport. The classic mix of caramel and cheddar cheese is a must and I came home with a couple of gallons (not kidding). As it happens, this week is also Chicago’s Craft Beer Week. There were lots of beer specials, so if you have any plans to be in the area don’t miss out on sampling some amazing beers! Here is a link to some Craft Beer Events.

I hope that you have a wonderful weekend xo
