In the Windy City with Reynolds

· by · 1 Comment

I wanted to let all you fantastic readers know that I’m Chicago for a few days with Reynolds (you know, the makers of the world’s best aluminum foil?). I’m a finalist in their search for Reynolds Real Moms!

I’m filming some short videos with them (tomorrow morning, actually!) and will be getting to know some other fantastic bloggers who are also finalists, as well.

In the near future I’ll be featuring some great tips and tricks to help get you in and out of the kitchen in a flash (because that’s how I like to do it!). I will be needing your votes so that I can go from being a finalist to being one of the 5 official Reynolds Real Moms. And with that title comes lots of prizes for you, my readers! So stay tuned for more information! Things here will be quiet for a few days. Can’t wait to show you all what I’ve been up to!

If you want to follow the happenings on Twitter, we’re tweeting using #ReynoldsRealMoms.

My Kind of Town

…Chicago is!

So sorry to have been absent for a while. We are just getting back from a trip to the Windy City! I was there for a conference, and Tim and Darah came along to play. Unfortunately, we were all pretty sick the whole time, but we still managed to see some great sites and catch up with some old friends.

The architecture in this city blew me away. There are so many stunning buildings in Chicago! I was also really impressed that they have a zoo that is completely free. Rock! And the Field Museum of natural history, while not free, was worth every penny of the $15 admission fee. The dinosaurs and the mammal exhibits were beyond awesome. I wish I could have spent more time there!

I’ll be posting some really great reviews and giveaways in the next few days. Stay tuned, and thanks for your patience with me!
