Chocolate Covered Pretzels - These were so good. I made these a few weeks ago and wanted to share them. Didn’t get the chance until now. Ingredients from @walmart - Full recipe via link in bio.

I used these small Pyrex dishes to melt different colors of Candy melt. The dishes are great for storing food, heating food, mixing ingredients, etc.

What a fun experience to see the Eclipse - It was only partial here in SC but I’m glad the kids got to see the size from when it started to when it reached the maximum. I got a few photos with my eclipse glasses over my camera and couldn’t see through well so looks so far away. Love getting a live effect of a full on TV also☀️🌔

Familiar places in Chicago - Our old house, my husband’s old job, Bumble Bee Cafe - that’s an old indoor play area, tried Peets Coffe - so good and CosMc’s - Mcdonald’s new brand of something like a Starbucks.

We frequented this little indoor play place when the kids were little. They were very sad about when we moved to PA 5 years ago, and then to SC almost 3 yrs ago (we only stayed in PA for 2 yrs). This place made them happy and to hear them talk about missing it and to see their disappointment about not being able to go there anymore, was very heart-breaking to me.

When we went to Chicago last week on Spring break, they asked if they could go inside to play since we were in the area. We did but it wasn’t the same. They’ve now “outgrown” the equipments and it was not as fun as it used to be when they were smaller. Some of the toys were for tinier kids like push cars and such. I mean, they played a little but I found myself telling them to “watch out for the little ones” when coming down the slides (because men, now they’re the bigger ones)😭😭 They didn’t want to stay in there too long either.

I’m glad they got some satisfaction from going back to it and to now come to a conclusion that it was much more fun for them when they were smaller & that it doesn’t feel the same as they remembered. A little bittersweet but I’m so glad we went.🙂

Now they’re driving Go-Karts. Just a few years ago on our Chicago family outings, parents drove them (I mean, dad did). It’s a little bittersweet in a way as they’re growing but it was so fun watching them enjoy driving around. And my son driving with one hand around the corners & also driving his dad:) We didn’t get around to much activities this week on our trip to Chicago m, but this indoor play arcade, Gizmos, was one of the places we went to.
