URGENT! Strollers, baby carriers, and winter gear

URGENT! Strollers, baby carriers, and winter gear needed for migrant families living in a shelter in Streeterville!

As mothers, it is especially heartbreaking to see migrant families arriving in Chicago with nothing but the clothes on their backs. These families literally walked and carried their children from Venezuela to the USA, and now lack a lot of what they need to care for their children and prepare for the winter ahead. Although it can be overwhelming trying to figure out *how* to help when there is such a great need, we’re here with a great way to start!

We’re collecting urgently needed items for migrant families living at a shelter in Streeterville. There are two moms in our network that volunteer at this shelter and have a pulse on what is needed at this time. They have also generously offered to collect the donations. Currently, we are looking for:

Strollers
Baby carriers
Heavier blankets
ANY winter clothing/gear (especially hats, heavy pants, jackets, boots)

If you have items you’d like to donate (good condition or new), please send an email to kelly@chicagomomsnetwork.com with a list of items to be donated, and we will coordinate drop off. Drop off locations are in Lincoln Park and Evanston.

THANK YOU!!!

Bike the Drive is hands down one of my favorite Ch

Bike the Drive is hands down one of my favorite Chicago experiences - EVER!

This was our second year doing it as a family, and let me tell you - it’s a great reminder of why we love Chicago after a summer of being away!

The experience of having access to all 30 miles of Lakeshore Drive is absolutely fantastic. We have yet to find a place where we can truly let our kids be “free” on their bikes in the city, so being able to let the kids ride their hearts out without stopping is really just the best.

Although the 2023 @activetrans Bike the Drive is over, i’m bringing it up as it’s not too early to plan for next year! The date for 2024 hasn’t been announced, but the past few years it has been the Sunday of Labor Day weekend.

🚴🏻‍♀️ With the holidays approaching, think about your family bike configuration for next summer! A toddler bike seat or trailer would make a great gift for yourself or your kids. We love @rvbikes - they even do trailer rentals!

🚴🏻‍♀️ Now is also the time to check your neighborhood/community Facebook groups for any of your biking needs (trailers, kids bikes, etc.) as people are looking to sell their gear before packing it up for winter.

🚴🏻‍♀️ Think ahead to Summer 2024 (🤯) and which of your kids will be biking! We’ve done @pedalheads for both of my older two, and it definitely contributed to their confidence on bikes. We live in Lakeview and easily accomplished a ride to Grant Park and back. We’re using age 6 as the cutoff in our family for actually “pedaling” vs. riding in a trailer for this event.

(The first video is from this year, the second is from last year - clearly the skyline is beautiful in the ☁️ or ☀️ )

As a mom to three young children who also has expe

As a mom to three young children who also has experience with pregnancy loss, Lauren Ratliff knows first hand how difficult all stages of becoming a mother and longing to be a mother can take on. And even with her real-life experience at Northwestern Memorial Hospital as a social worker on labor/delivery and postpartum units, that alone was not enough to prepare her for her very real-life experiences. "Having a baby was a complete shock to my system," she recounts. "Shock" turned into action, and Lauren bundled that entrepreneurial pull to help others, along with her background and personal experience into Matrescence Therapy.

Get to know this mom of 3 littles and the founder of @matrescence_therapy Lauren Ratliff, LCSW, PMH-C. Welcome, Lauren! Link in bio to learn more about Lauren and this amazing resource 👆

Looking for the perfect resort for an upcoming Haw

Looking for the perfect resort for an upcoming Hawaii trip? Look no further than the @alohilaniresort. #Hosted @southoc_moms just got back from a family vacay, and she shares that this chic hotel really has it all.

From every amenity you can possibly think of, to the perfect Waikiki beach location, to multiple outstanding food options all on property.

Their premier ocean front rooms overlook the different shades of aqua and blue of the Pacific Ocean. Looking out on the Lanai, you can see surfers in the morning or magical sunset views in the evening.

Even when the sun goes down, the hotel lights up. In the evening you can enjoy the Hotel Light Monument video series that projects beautiful scenes of Hawaii onto their 17-floor beachside tower. It’s the perfect place to unwind at night while taking in the live music at the Swell Pool & Bar.

During your stay you can enjoy their rooftop infinity edge pool, their onsite kids’ activities, Fit Waikiki & Spa U’ilani, a 280,000 gallon Oceanarium, shopping and more. If staying on property is your thing, they have you covered. But if exploring the island is more your jam, then you can rent a car for the day right in the lobby of the hotel.

Click the link in bio to check out the @AlohilaniResort and the special offer they have extended to you all. Or use promo code LOCALMOM at the time of checkout.
