Hey Mama Hey! Today is the first day of summer. If you are a Chicago mama like me, you are thinking “Summer WHERE?”. Like you, I have been bummed out even discouraged by the fall like temps. BUT Mama I am here to remind you, we are tough Chicago Midwest Mamas. To encourage you to get out and explore, I have a super-sized list for this weekend. So get our there Mamas and have a great time…(event if you STILL have to put a jacket on your Kiddos).

Picks of the week: Mama Fresh Storytime:
I am so excited about Saturday because I have TWO storytime events.
- The first is a fresh spin on my usual storytime at 57th Street Books, Dads Takeover! Three Chicago Area Dads are joining me as guest readers. RSVP for this FREE event here.
Webster Kid’s Corridor Block Party is Sat and it is going to be a BLAST! I am reading at 6p inside Little Beans. It is the perfect cozy break to take between bouncy houses and live music! Click here for tixs and deets
