The Chicago area is one of our favorite destinations. It's only 5 hours from home and full of museums, zoos, attractions and more. It's the perfect change of scenery for the weekend. On our most recent trip, we stayed in Elk Grove Village, Illinois. It's just a short drive outside of Chicago, however, it's centrally located to the attractions and tollway making it the perfect choice for this trip. Our hotel of choice was the Country Inn and Suites in Elk Grove Village. Not only is it ...
Find Comfort at the Country Inn and Suites
On our recent trip to the Chicago area, we chose to stay at the Country Inn in Elk Grove Village, Illinois. We frequently visit the Chicago area and have discovered staying in a suburb is a nice option for our family.

Did you know parking your vehicle at a Chicago hotel can cost over $50 a day? That adds up fast. Country ...
Let Petcurean Help Bring Out the Best in Your Pet

Toll Roads No Problem with the FastToll App
Peyton and I are in the Chicago area at least every other month. But I don't want to invest in an I-Pass because I don't need it in Minnesota. And Illinois is really the only place that we travel that has toll roads. But stopping at all those toll roads adds on travel time. That's more time being cramped up in a car. Plus you have to have exact change at some of the tolls because they are automated. Last year I heard about this new app call FastToll. Now, it only works in Illinois so you won't ...
How You Can Have A Healthier Attitude To Food
If you ever find yourself getting carried away with what you’re eating, cooking, or shopping for, you’re not the only one. There’s a reason why the nation seems to be suffering from an obesity issue. Sometimes, food just tastes so good. And that’s hard to fight. Whether you’re comforted by carbs, or you’re always sucked in by sugar, you might be just about ready to admit that you have an unhealthy attitude to food. But it’s something that many of us can suffer from. We’re forever craving things ...
