2013 Chicago Festival Guide
It’s already that time of the year for the best season in Chicago: Street Fest Season! Get out your koozis and friends for day drinking, art, music, people watching, cover bands and some 90’s one-hit-wonders play that “one song” that everyone knows (“It’s been….one week since you looked at me…”) and trust me, these band go great with vodka lemonades. Chicago Fest Season 2013!

If you have around $500 million, the city’s second-biggest hotel — the 1,639-room Palmer House Hilton — is up for sale.
This is one of my favorite hotels, mostly from all the great memories! Anna let’s get out our piggy banks and make it all ours!
sleep is great…when you are getting it
Baby girl slept from 7 to 6 last night!!!! She usually wakes between 3 and 4 to eat and then goes back down until 7. She has been doing it all on her own…no cry-it-out here! This girl is a rock star sleeper. Josef-Henri still wakes up at least once if not twice a night and he’s almost 3! We tried everything get him to sleep but nothing worked/works! When I was pregnant with Grayson I prayed for a good sleeper and I got it! Thank you God!
