As we slosh through yet another winter weekend here in Chicago, anxiously awaiting the official arrival of spring later this month, there are a variety of events for all to enjoy as we welcome in March in all its colors this weekend!

On March 1, the planet celebrated its entry into Meteorological Spring, and it went all-out with 50-degree temperatures in Chicago, three weeks ahead of ‘regular ‘spring.

Opa!! If March comes in like a lamb…(kleftiko, anyone?), will it go out like a lion?

Although much of the Midwest is under several inches of snow, signs of spring are upon us; house finches are back on the feeder and they are usually the first summer birds to return from their winter further south.

Selling your home involves a heck of a lot more than just planting a ‘For Sale’ sign on your front yard. There are still some considerations to be made, and some work to be done before your home ever hits the market.

Chicagoans will be closing out this last weekend of February with a wintery mix of outdoor and indoor festivities! So, layer up with your warmest coat and don’t let the winter weather bog you down!!

Fun fact of the day: Did you know…that the grounds of this Lincoln Park institution is situated on ancestral homelands of the Potawatomi people, who cared for the land until forced out by non-Native settlers?

Today…Wednesday, February 22, marks Ash Wednesday, the first day of Lent. Across many faiths, the practice of fasting begins today.

Few things are more glorious than a nice nap. However, I have noticed that sometimes I have a hard time waking up and end up groggy for hours.

What stays and what goes when you buy a new home? While it might seem like a no-brainer that the appliances or light fixtures might be staying, making assumptions like these could burn you come closing day.

Now that football is behind us, it’s time to look forward to the upcoming baseball season along with the warmer temps of spring! But in the meantime, we still have several weekends of winter to get through and this weekend is no exception.

From the earliest Ford Model T’s to electric Teslas, since 1901, the Chicago Auto Show has showcased the latest in automotive technology and showmanship.

From now through February 26, Chicago BLACK Restaurant Week will celebrate the hundreds of food/beverage/dessert businesses serving delectable cuisine in the African American community.

We all would like to find a little shortcut for better fitness. As I am heading towards retirement age, I’ve learned from experience that weight bearing exercise in the latter part of our lives can be very beneficial!

Living in a small house or apartment can be challenging, even if you have few belongings when you move in. Over time, you’ll inevitably collect more items, requiring you to creatively store things with limited closet space and shelving.

What do hearts, football, and automobiles have in common? Well, they’re your entertainment for this weekend!

In a city rich with world-class museums, Pilsen’s National Museum of Mexican Art (NMMA), 1852 W. 19th Street, is the largest Latino museum nationwide, as well as the first accredited by the American Alliance of Museums.

Valentine’s Day exists to celebrate love in its many forms. And whether you’re celebrating with your nearest and dearest friends (gal-entines and pal-entines,) your one-and-only, or your entire family, to quote a famous movie, “love is all around, actually.”

We think of food borne illness as coming primarily from meat and seafood, but there have been many outbreaks in the last few years in produce. The FDA recommends washing vegetables under cold running water.

After pounding the pavement for what seems like forever, you’ve finally found the place you want to put an offer on. But alas, someone else has already got their fingers on it, and it’s a cash buyer, no less.

Are you ready to embrace another weekend? Good because not only are we in the month of February, which only has 28 days, but spring is on the horizon! Although you wouldn’t know it from this past week’s arctic blast!! Anyway, here are a few events to get you through this weekend and closer to that spring horizon.
