This last weekend in May is usually the beginning of our outdoor summer festival season. Unfortunately, we’re still under stay-at-home orders here in Chicago. So, let’s go visit some of our National Parks – virtually, of course.

To say Chicagoans waited a lifetime for the Cubs to bring home a World Series Championship is an understatement given that 108 passed since the team won it all in 1908. The decades of disappointment were made up for in 2016 when the team beat the Cleveland Indians to shock the world.

We should be almost two months into the baseball season. Unfortunately, with the COVID-19 restrictions still in place, sports, like most things, have been paused. Wrigley Field and Guaranteed Rate Field are empty, and plans for the 2020 MLB season are still in flux.

When you’re selling your home, adding some extra perks can help you find a buyer quickly. An incentive is essentially a marketing spend for your home sale. But you want to make sure your marketing dollars are being used effectively, so consider these do’s and don’ts...

Wow! After a month with 8 inches of rain in the first 3 weeks, the Chicagoland area is finally seeing some warmer and hopefully drier weather. We may be spending more time in our backyards this summer with travel probably limited so we should do some cleaning.

Memorial Day weekend marks the unofficial start of summer for many of us. However, this Memorial Day weekend will be spent sheltering in place and obeying social distancing guidelines. But it certainly doesn't mean we can't still have a good time.

While the Chicago Blackhawks have been on a downward slope these past few seasons, the team was a dynasty in the early 2010s, winning three Stanley Cup championships in 2010, 2013, and 2015. Hopefully, the team can regain their championship pedigree once the NHL season starts again.

Today we continue to take a look at the greatest Chicago Bears players throughout the decades. It hopefully won't be long before we can enjoy football on Sundays again, which would mean that the COVID-19 pandemic has lessened to a significant degree.

Our global pandemic has put us in a situation that no one has ever been in before. We are all used to working too many hours and having too many responsibilities at home that can lead to significant stress followed by burnout. Now the stress is tenfold, especially considering so many things are out of our control.

Unfortunately our homes don’t always grow with us. What may have initially worked fine for a single person, a young couple’s starter home, or a family with a newborn can quickly become too small as families expand and multiple generations live under one roof.

Weekends are all about getting out and having a good time with family and friends. Unfortunately, we are still unable to do that. And one of the best ways to stay connected with some semblance of reality is to continue having a good time but virtually. So, this weekend let’s take a trip visiting some of the nation’s zoos!

Yesterday we looked at some of the greatest players to ever don a Chicago Bulls jersey. Today we move from the basketball court to the gridiron in part one of our look at some of the best Chicago Bears players of all time.

As we slowly begin to reopen the state amid the COVID-19 pandemic, the list of things we haven't had access to will start to lessen. One aspect of our everyday lives that has gone missing is sports.

When you're house hunting, focus on the things that will improve your quality of life. There are so many factors that go into a home buying decision that it can make your head spin—especially if you're in a competitive market where time is of the essence.

Your first thought is, of course, that they are! Yes, that would be true if you are picking them from your own garden or buying at a farmer's market where they were picked that morning. Unfortunately, the fresh produce we buy at our local supermarket today is at best picked three days or more before reaching our table.

While sheltering in place will keep traditional Mother's Day activities from happening this weekend, there are still plenty of ways to make her day feel special, whether you're lucky enough to be under the same roof or are miles apart.

Today we put the finishing touches on our list of actors who hail from the Windy City and the surrounding suburbs. So far, our list has included everyone from bonafide megastars like Harrison Ford and Robin Williams to beloved comedic actors like Melissa McCarthy, Bernie Mac, and Jack Benny.

Today we continue to shine a light on the many great actors who have called the Chicagoland area home. Whatever your favorite genre of film might be, chances are one or more of the many actors on our continuing list have played a role in them.

Well, we finally have had a few warm days, which I consider being above 70 degrees. It did rain this week in excess of 4 inches, so everything in the landscape is blossoming from the warm weather.

Homeowners have the ability to automate anything from locks to lights to air conditioning and more. With new technology popping up every day, it’s hard to stay up to date on the smart-home trend.

Welcome to our first weekend in May and our 7th weekend of staying home! Now that we're under stay-at-home orders through May 30th here in Illinois, the entertainment blog will continue to bring ideas for you and your family to hopefully have some fun and stay safe.
