Baseball Wars, Round Two

We live in a house divided.  

It is no secret that I am a HUGE Cubs fan.  I always have been.  (Love you Grandpa!)  I always will be.  The Mister is a huge White Sox fan.  Since before Clara was born, we had been thinking of ways to get her to love our own team.

 Between Wriggly field vs. US Cellular, US Cellular wins at being family friendly with no contest, so that is where we go when we have family baseball outings.  

At first, I thought The Mister would win Clara's baseball loving heart because of this.  I am happy to report, while she was waving her White Sox foam finger the other night, she was also chanting

"GO CUBS, GO!"  

 Keep it up, Clara!  You are making your Mama proud!

Especially when you make faces like that.

You know it's a family friendly place when your teenager AND your preschooler both love it!

Happy Monday!

Earth Day is Every Day!

Happy Earth Day, folks!

It is sunny and beautiful here in the Windy City.  

The wee one and I decided there would be no better way to celebrate Earth Day then to stroll around the fabulous beaches and parks this city has to offer.

In case you are not sure of a proper way to celebrate Earth Day, we have a few suggestions:

 Smell every single flower you can find.....

Exclaim how beautiful every single one is.

(And mean it.)

Find some sand.

Make some adorable foot prints in it.

Find a beach,

Roll in the sand,

Run in circles,

Laugh maniacally.

(Repeat.)

Or you could be like our neighbor.....

(Who apparently hates the Earth but loooooves dogs.)

However you celebrate today, make sure it is done with love!

Maybe it is just because I haven't seen the kids all weekend, but I sure am feeling the love today!

Happy Earth Day!
