Big transformations don’t always require big renovations. These easy DIY upgrades can refresh your home, elevate its style, and even boost its value—without the stress of a full remodel.

Chicagoans will continue celebrating this last weekend of March with the official start of Baseball Season here in Chicago this past Thursday with the Chicago Cubs!

The month of March is dedicated to honoring the remarkable contributions of women throughout history. As we come to the end of the month, Chicago ends Women’s History Month with a bang!

The 2026 MLB season gets underway Thursday, March 26 with our Chicago Cubs opening the season at Wrigley Field, 1060 W. Addison hosting the Washington Nationals at 1:20 pm CDT.

Around the Chicago area we’ve been enjoying a bit of nicer weather - and then winter came back with a vengeance! But thankfully, spring is just around the corner. That means we should be thinking about the lawn and garden chores that need to be done as soon as we get some (stable) warmer weather!

Today’s buyers aren’t just searching for a home—they’re searching for a lifestyle that aligns with how they live, work, and unwind. As priorities shift, real estate decisions are becoming more personal, intentional, and experience-driven.

After last weekend’s wild shenanigans, this weekend we’ll be taming down our activities starting with the other cherished family member – the feline commonly known as the cat!

Over the next few days, Chicago‘s Muslim community will be celebrating the end of Ramadan with Eid al-Fitr 2026, beginning around the evening of March 19-20, depending on the appearance of a new moon.

Ramadan is the holiest month in the Islamic calendar, marked by daily dawn-to-sunset fasting, prayer, and charity.

I have rheumatoid arthritis so I’m sometimes hyper aware of joint deterioration. After 3 knee replacements and 2 foot joint fusions I’m trying to do better for my joints.

Hosting doesn’t have to be complicated to feel special. With a few simple touches—from a welcoming entryway to easy self-serve drinks—you can create a gathering that feels relaxed, thoughtful, and memorable.

No matter what the weather brings this weekend, it will not stop Chicagoans from experiencing and enjoying the city’s ultimate St. Patrick’s Day festivities as we become Irish all decked out in our finest greens and feeling the luck of the Irish!

All told, one-fifth of Chicago’s population is Irish. And in the Far Northwest Side of Chicago includes neighborhoods long associated with Chicago’s Irish-American community…like Edison Park, Norwood Park, and Jefferson Park.

There’s no week in Chicago like St. Patrick’s Day week. Blessed with a substantial Irish population as well as one of the largest St. Patrick’s Day celebrations in the country, you and your family can celebrate from Friday, March 13-21 throughout Chicago’s many communities, from Jefferson Park on the North Side to Beverly on the South Side.

Juice cleanses and supplement powders have become very popular lately. But they are quite expensive and don’t work half as well as your body’s natural processes. Every time you sweat, exhale or use the restroom you are detoxifying!

When the clocks spring forward, the extra daylight brings new energy to everyday life at home. From refreshing outdoor spaces to enjoying slower evenings, longer spring days are the perfect opportunity to make the most of where you live.

Can you believe it? We’ve made it to March! Not only does this first weekend set us up with a variety of exciting happenings and upcomings but it also has clocks springing forward an hour this Sunday bringing us longer daylight hours. Hang in there, folks -- Spring is Coming!

Chicago’s North Side Restaurant Week highlights the diversity and deliciousness of Chicago’s vibrant restaurant scene with special menus and prices!

Spring will be here before we know it, and there’s one task you’ll be happy you tackled now rather than later: switching your closet! Rotating from a winter to spring wardrobe is a great way to kick off spring cleaning and de-clutter your closet.

The real estate market has shifted. What worked a few years ago — list it on Thursday, review multiple offers by Monday — isn’t a guaranteed outcome anymore. Buyers are more selective, inventory has grown in many areas, and pricing power isn’t automatic.
