My Chicago Mommy

Here's me with Maria Tiongco Ramos of

tonight. I've met Maria at several blogger events. She'll be speaking
on a panel of bloggers this Saturday at Navy Pier.
Disclosure: received gift card of $50, gift bag and car service home
from Family Dollar.

Family Dollar Blogger Event

Had fun and learned a lot at the Family Dollar event for bloggers
tonight. We met with representatives from Family Dollar at Hotel 71
before going to the Family Dollar store on 2252 N Milwaukee. The event
brought a lot of bloggers (especially frugal bloggers) from the
Chicagoland and Northwest Indiana area. Am going home now in the car
service that they provided.
Disclosure: Family Dollar provided me a $50 gift card, a gift bag
worth about $20, a glass hurricane and wreath, car service to my home,
and food & drink.

Flowerbomb fragrances) and lots of salons (that sold Aveda and
Dermalogica).

Sundeck at Flirty Girl Fitness on West Randolph where the PrettyCity
