Riding Live from the Peloton Studio in New York
Get a look at what it’s like to ride live in the Peloton Studio in New York City.
The Hamilton Experience in Chicago
I’m the mother of a 13-year-old boy who is smart, funny, athletic and more handsome then he understands. He, however, hates to read. He’s always hated reading. It is easily the number one thing we fight about. I’ve tried bribing him many different ways over the years. Things that have worked with his brother, have…
Disneyland in Pictures
A family vacation to Disneyland was the BIG Christmas gift this year. Scott had to be there for work, so we, of course, tagged along. The parks are pretty impossible to compare in terms of which is better. Disneyland is much smaller, but much more historical and interesting. They have a great nighttime parade, Paint…
Food Across St. Louis!
My favorite part of traveling, exploring local food! St. Louis is super close to Chicago, but I’ve never been! I really enjoyed the city, it’s quite beautiful. But who knew of all the crazy food?! I’m now obsessed with Fried Ravioli and Ooey Gooey Butter Cake. And of course, real good barbecue!
Epic Summer of Adventure
I think it’s safe to say 2015 was a summer of adventure for the Cook Family. The summer started with us kayaking our way through the canals of Marco Island, and ended with us floating down a river on the Cherokee Indian Reservation. In between we’ve been biking, hiking, whitewater rafting and exploring great new…
Exploring Orlando’s Kelly Springs Park

Review: Bette Midler – Divine Intervention
Bette Midler brings out an emotion response in me that is hard to understand. She is truly one of those people that, if I ever meet, when I finally meet, I will cry like a baby in front of. For me, it started in sixth grade in 1988. Middle school is awkward as hell and…
2015 White House Correspondents’ Dinner
This must be what Cinderella felt like – at least the part up until she fell in love. No one, to my knowledge, fell in love at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner. Thanks to some very good Washington, DC reporter friends, I was able to check off this big item from my bucket list and…
Sushi obsessed – Disney’s Polynesian Resort
My favorite place to eat at Walt Disney World has gotten even better. It’s a small, tucked-away spot that most people glance over, but it’s a hidden gem of delicious goodness. I’m talking about Kona Island at Disney’s Polynesian Resort. To the untrained eye, it looks like a stand to get coffee and pastries. And…
Christmas in Chicago
