Chicago Baby & Toddler Expo ~ Ticket Giveaway! | Mama Dweeb

July 16, 2010 By

I entered a contest, hosted by Mama Dweeb, for tickets to the Chicago Baby & Toddler Expo.   The expo is technically in Schaumburg, but, hey, anyone familiar with Chi-town knows that if it’s north of Joliet it is CHICAGO!

I lived in the Chicagoland area (Glen Ellyn, Wheaton, Glendale Heights,  Wheeling, Mt. Prospect) for almost five years before I got married and LOVED it.  I often miss Chicago.

So when, I saw the contest over at Mama Dweeb’s, I thought it would be FUNTASTIC if I won, because…

  1. I would get to visit some really FUN friends in the Chicago area.
  2. I would get to see a lot of FUN products
  3. I would get to meet a lot of FUN Reps
  4. I would get to have a PORTILLO’s Maxwell Street Polish!  Y.U.M.M.Y.

The Expo is Saturday July 31st 10am – 5pm. Sunday August 1st 11am-4pm

So, anyway, while I dream of all the things I love about Chicagoland, why don’t you hop on over and enter to win tickets to the Expo!

My kids love bowling!

July 16, 2010 By

A few days ago, I posted about the Kids Bowl Free summer program that you can sign up for at http://www.kidsbowlfree.com/.

Well, I took my two toddlers bowling for the first time ever… and they LOVED it!

Mister was very serious about positioning the ball

Because the bowling alley we went to does not carry toddler bowling shoes, we didn’t have to rent shoes.  Which means our adventure was free (unless you count the $1.79 I spent on a cup of coffee).

After we got home, Mister and Sister actually played with their toy bowling set.  They haven’t played with it FOREVER.

Did you know that bowling is actually a great way to teach your toddlers about cause and effect and improves their coordination?

I can’t wait to take them again.

Be blessed,
