Strollerderby Playdate: Chicago Style

This morning, my boy is running around the house in an oversized t-shirt that I got from a street vendor for two bucks. It is one that most of us have buried somewhere to tell the world we all *heart* NY. While he's a well-traveled toddler, New York City has never been one of his stops. And really, as cute as he is when he squats down and makes a dress out of that t-shirt, every time he wears it I think about how I need to find him more gear from our city. Maybe a Steppenwolf onesie or dueling Sox and Cubs caps. Or possibly, a nod at the el train near our house we almost never take.

Lil E's not the only wonder to be homegrown in the Windy City. There's also loaded-up hot dogs (which I secretly despise...shhhh) and pizza (which I adore) and undying sports fanaticism (zzzzzz...sorry! what?) and politics. And, course, there are the bloggers. Even BlogHer thinks this is the place to be. In honor of all things cha-cha-Chicago, here are some of da second city women bloggers yous guys should be reading:

Bah! You should be doing Connecticut bloggers, because New Haven pizza is the best in the world...

I know, isn't it perfect? I first saw it at Gaper's Block (another fantastic Chicago blog) and NEEDED one immediately. And one for pretty much everyone I know.

Awww, thanks for the plug.  I agree - my boys don't even have Chicago Cubs gear even though I've been a life long fan.  For shame on me!
