Last year my boys demanded that their Daddy take t Last year my boys demanded that their Daddy take them to @fanniemaychocolates to get me a heart shaped box filled with Pixies for Valentine’s Day. I was so touched that not only did they still think of me as their valentine, but also because they knew my love language—chocolate! So this year I’m returning the favor and gifting my valentines the most delicious chocolates (including the new Double Dark Chocolate Sea Salt Pixie—SWOON) because after 100 years strong, you can’t go wrong with Fannie May. #FannieMayChocolates #MakeItSpecial #ShareTheLove #Sponsored

As all of the talk over the past 24 hours has show As all of the talk over the past 24 hours has shown, love of sports is a HUGE thing in many people’s lives. It connects & inspires us in a way other things simply can’t. For me, it wasn’t about playing a sport but instead going to games with my Dad as a child. Our favorite? Heading to the @unitedcenter to catch a @nhlblackhawks game. Now that my Dad is gone, I relive our tradition with my boys and honestly, it has been one of the only things that has helped heal my heart over the past decade. So if you are like me and want to add the love and power of sports into your family’s life, head over to the blog to learn about our favorite game experience in Chicago. #onegoal #powerofsports #chicagomom
