the site that answers the question: what am i going to do with my kids this week? a weekly update on activities in the city and burbs for families with tots, tweens, teens and everything in between.
A few weeks ago I featured holiday photo cards and photo announcements by Mommies Ink on Windy City Tot. Jen, the local designer/owner of Mommies Ink, has now offered to give a free photo card to one lucky WCT reader! The first one to email me at: windycitytot@gmail.com wins a free photo holiday card! The winner will simply pick their favorite design (um, she has some new ones up that are AMAZINGLY CUTE), then send Jen the photo(s) to appear on your card, pick your font and wording, and she'll send you back an adorable photo card for you to send to everyone on your holiday card list. Jen also told me about press printing, so that your photo card can be printed on card stock instead of on photo paper. Check out mpix or A Printing Pressfor photo or press printing options or print on photo paper through Walgreens, Costco, Kodak, etc. It is a totally simple, unique, and inexpensive way to impress everyone on your holiday card list! Good luck in the contest!
I live in the city with my husband and two year old. During the warm months, we love to take advantage of all the city has to offer. As a baby, our son joined us at almost every summer festival the city had to offer, including all three days at Lollapalooza. Now that our son is a toddler, we've come to realize that we need to balance our ideas of recreational activities with his. In trying to find fun family activities every week, I found myself hitting a plethora of websites and publications. I launched this blog out of frustration of spending way too much time planning our week. I hope this site helps simplify the process for other Chicagoland parents.
