I can't believe I didnt shop!!

This year I attended the annual American Association of Orthodontics meeting in Chicago from May 14-16th. I had never been there before and wanted to experience as many Chicago highlights as possible.

This included: eating a deep dish pizza,

going to the top of the Hancock Tower,

riding the Ferris wheel at Navy Pier,

and going to the Chicago Institute of Art and visiting Millennium Park...

of course attending the meeting was also of paramount importance!! This left no time to shop on the Magnificent Mile (Michigan Ave)---always good to leave something on the table!

He's Baaaack!

He’s baaaack! The summer migration of the Homo studentus universitatus (HSU) has started. I am now lucky enough to have two HSUs! My husband traveled to Colgate University last weekend to collect our eldest. I opted to stay home and do laundry, go to the grocery store, weed, mulch …anything so as not to have to drive back 6 hours to NH with a car full of dirty laundry, moldy sneakers and unwashed popcorn bowls. When they pulled into the driveway, my husband bolted for the house without saying a word and the creature emerged from the car, wrinkled, unwashed, unshaven and full of hugs for his mom! This was the day before Mother’s Day and I have to say it was a really special gift (you can take this anyway you want!!). HSU #2 is coming home Wednesday…can't wait!
