Aaron will be going to Chicago this weekend for a stage combat workshop. Why they host a workshop in Chicago in the middle of January is beyond my knowledge, but we always brave the potential bad weather to make the trip. I like to tag along so I can visit friends who live in the area.
We tried taking Cordy with us one year, but that was disastrous. So last year she stayed home with grandma while I enjoyed some child-free (yet pregnant) time to myself in Chicago. It was lovely.
This year, I must take one of the kids. Grandma and her crew of backup family members are willing to deal with one for an entire weekend, but not both of them. (I can’t blame her for that.) Knowing Cordy’s issues with sleeping somewhere strange, she’s staying home while Mira comes with us. This will be her second trip to Chicago in under seven months.
Any Chicago area bloggers want to meet up? We’ll be close to Woodfield Mall, and I know I’ll be making at least one trip to the mecca I call Ikea.

Also, I’m over at Mommy’s Must Haves today reviewing the book The Ultimate Tea Diet. Come over to learn more about it and enter to win your own copy of the book!
Hey hon. Email me! I have all 3 kids on Saturday, but we could meet at Woodfield and have lunch or something. Plus, they have that cool Lego store.

Hey! Fun that you are coming to visit. Not supposed to be that bad this weekend. Unfortunately I live a ways from Woodfield, but have fun!
I never understood why they have conferences/workshops in cold weather places in the middle of Winter, either. Unless skiing is involved.
Enjoy your stay in Chicago…I love that city!
good luck in your travels … try to stay warm!
Oh man! I wish I was a better blogger! I missed this post and I could have met you! I live in Chicago!!! Grrrr…..
