Mother Butter’s Popcorn and Confectionary: Best in Chicago

By Therese Mother Butter's is located in Evergreen Park, IL, which is a small, quiet suburb southwest of Chicago.  That makes sense, as the founder and original owner, Tim O'Donnell, is a Chicagoan through and through.  In fact, Tim's mother opened and ran one of the most famous Chicago pizza restaurants in Chicago, Fox's Pub, at 99th & Western in the heart of the Beverly … [Read more...]

Lotion Commotion:  Finding A Moisturizer That Works

By Felice    I think it’s safe to say I am obsessed with lotion, especially since I have dry skin.  I KNOW I need to drink more water, and I’m working on that, but in the meantime, I continue to buy and try different lotions.  It's not the worst obsession to have, really.  In my quest, I test drove a "wet skin" lotion, which means you apply the lotion--you guessed … [Read more...]

Soda Bread Shenanigans: Reviews and the best gluten-free recipe for Irish Soda Bread

By Therese St. Patrick's Day--you may not be Irish yourself, but I'm willing to bet you or someone you know acknowledges or celebrates March 17th.  Our family (Felice and I) have Irish roots, so I personally celebrate, and I also enjoy traditional and authentic Irish foods, drinks, and art among other things.  My favorite Irish bread is actually brown bread, but I cannot find a … [Read more...]

Shamrock Shake RE-view–does it still truly rock?
