Fun at our Brick and Mortar-Valentine's Day Reading

Hello, today, what do you say? Well, we say these are some fun photos from our Valentine's Day bookreading! We promise that the following photos are of only the utterly cute- kids decorating their valentines, destroying their valentines that have been decorated, listening to a story, or watching Nili just act all kinds of silly! If you would like to come and visit our bookreading and chime in that "Nili rhymes with Really!," it is every Wednesday at 10:30 at our store front!

Yummy Recipes!

The Kids' Table Recipe for Healthy Hearts!
We'd love to introduce you to our local friends, the Kids' Table, and if you are Chicagoans, probably already know that the Kids Table offers classes for ages 2 through adult to get the whole family cooking up a storm of healthy dinners and snacks! We're so happy that they have shared their Heart-Shaped Whole Wheat Biscuits with Rhubarb-Strawberry Jam recipe that they teach in their classes with us, and we hope you find these delightful snacks as tasty as we did!

Date Nights

We'll see you at Target haha! We have to admit it- there has been a rash of date nights talked about by our staff that involve... grocery shopping! We'll admit it- we've gone to a seemingly inocous, unromantic place for date night because our schedules have been crunched, and hey- we know we're not "cool" anymore. We've all decided to try and get back into the fun Date Night Groove, and we know this will take some concerted schedule-juggling, but we think it's worth it. Since, we can't be the only folks who have rolled a cart through Costco and enjoyed it on a Date Night, (or maybe we are!!!) let us know about your favorite Date Night Ritual.
