Daisies

How do you decide what to get at Daisy’s? A blueberry tart, a lemon cheese danish braid, an oatmeal cream pie and a cold brew with a splash of oatmilk. Excellent choices. But… the best? More testing needed

Electric Mud

Logan Square · Mar 5

Oh, mud. I love you so dearly. I spent my first pregnancy waddling here every day because it was the only way my husband could convince me to get some walking in when the third trimester struck me down. Today we got some tacos, a latte for me, a drip for Eli, and a babyccino for Casey. Casey refused even one bite of his taco, Matilda took one bite of hers and threw it on the ground, so Eli and I ate the remains
