MUST VISIT CHICAGO: KINGSBURY STREET CAFE

Kingsbury Street Cafe

1523 N Kingsbury Street
Chicago, IL 60462
Near North Side

After meeting with my health coach, I was hungry for brunch and craving something that wasn't too over-the-top indulgent. I had heard great things about this new cafe (that happens to be on the most torn up street in Chicago), so after my session we headed over to this lovely new jem. I have to say, just after walking in I could already tell we were in for a great experience. The interior is light, airy, modern and roomy. Perfect for anyone with a stroller so you don't feel like an asshole walking in with your kid. The food was delicious -- even some vegan options! We will definitely be back, and if you're in the area I wholeheartedly give my recommendation.

Why You Should Visit

• Fantastic brunch
• Eco-friendly water and compostable cups

Good To Know
• No lot, street parking only
• Make reservations on a weekend

What To Order
• Vietnamese drip-coffee with sweetened condensed milk

bump : week 22

I've said it before, but if I could pack up and move my entire family straight into the By The Barkers studio space, I would. Absolute heaven! As for our little one, he or she has been giving me strong, swift kicks - especially around bed time. Waves and ripples dance across my belly as I lay in bed waiting, watching. I'll admit, it's been difficult for Erick and I since we've decided to keep things a surprise as far as the gender. We were both so used to the feeling of knowing with Sofia that it's made this pregnancy a completely unique experience. My intuition keeps swaying back and forth wondering if this little one is a boy or girl, and judging by the way that I look, feel and eat, my best guess is that we have another little lady on the way. (Though, if you ask Sofia, she's already told us she thinks baby is a "bruh-der") !!! Mamas out there, was your intuition right? Any tell-tale signs or...

bump : week 23

The sub-zero weather has kept us indoors, but it hasn't kept us from having the most amount of fun possible. I've been enjoying hot cups of tea served with teaspoons of sugar and condensed milk, curling up with my favorite blanket and enjoying the tap-tap, nudge-nudge of the littlest De La Rosa. Though I find myself playing catch up yet again (I'm 24 weeks!) I'm not complaining in the least bit. I've had this little family of mine all to myself for a full four days with no work, no emails, no agenda and no pressure. Ahhhhh... happy winter celebration, little baby. PS- did you know Erick finally launched his website ? It's up, it's responsive, and it's gorgeous. I'm a proud muma bear.
