Wow, has it ever been an exciting few weeks here in Chicago. Have you heard about a little baseball team here called the Cubs? If not you may be living under a box, especially this past week, after they broke a 108 year curse to win the World Series. It’s been such a fun time… Continue reading Do Do Do….A Little Detox
