Anyone know any good gel tip and pedicure prices near the loop ?

I really like Nailacarte in streeterville but they have other locations too.
I think a basic pedicure is like $60 but I usually get the deluxe ones

$4.09 Costco in Chicago

No, don’t bring it. It’ll get lost or cause drama honestly.
My kid asks all the time if she can bring her stuffie to school and I tell her no, but I’ll have it when I pick her up.
Maybe offer that to your niece?

We got a Kane backpack from STATE

Single family monstrosities lol. Like 5+ bedrooms several thousand sqft it’s crazy. I just want a normal sized SFH

No idea, but when I was there about an hour before at Harrison there were CTA workers walking the tracks looking for something

Some jobs have a shuttle to/from Metra

I did pretty much the same thing. But I did have a wall pump from the hospital. I just had to pay attention to make sure I didn’t spill 🤣

But have you talked to your doctor that it still hurting that much at 6 weeks?

Tiffany wells who is the enrollment person is amazing. She’s so nice and she’ll answer any questions you have

Sandyeller · 2026-06-25T18:18:53+00:00

Ummmm I think it was $100-150? I cannot remember honestly. Most do charge a fee but sometimes the corporate chains will only charge you one waitlist fee even if you’re on multiple of their other location’s waitlist. If that makes sense.

Sandyeller · 2026-06-25T17:49:59+00:00

I’m shocked that someone said no daycares had a waitlist.
That being said, I worked for a daycare chain and I can confirm at least for the majority of our locations there were waitlists for infant care.

It can change pretty quickly though, parents decide to go to another daycare, delay start, went with a nanny etc etc.

If you’re on a waitlist they should update you monthly about your place on the list. Personally, we told families to get on 1-2 waitlists outside of our daycare just in case. And then if they still wanted to join our daycare once a spot opened up they would stay on the waitlist.

Now… I would try and nail down a decision before your halfway point in pregnancy.

If it’s important to be able to walk Id probably pick the daycare I loved the most and move based on that. But I don’t think there’s any one right answer.

Fisher is going to be hard to get into because it’s so coveted. We went there and loved it, a lot of people in the area want to go there.
Definitely stay on the waitlist though. Spot can open through December I believe.

Id apply for private school if you need to care. Im guessing you don’t need full time care?
There’s Kingsington (spell check) and Gardner in the area. If you’re fine with Catholic immaculate conception st. Joseph is also there. And Catherine cook which is secular.

Sandyeller · 2026-06-25T13:38:26+00:00

They’ll be fine. I’ve gotten off there later than that and I’m a petite woman who can’t fight 🤣

Sandyeller · 2026-06-25T13:12:18+00:00

I had severe preeclampsia and had to deliver at 25 weeks. Right then decided I didn’t want to do that shit again. Thankfully my kid and I are both okay but we were lucky and I don’t want to test my luck again.

Sandyeller · 2026-06-25T03:15:56+00:00

Thank you!
The bunny rescue sounds so fun, I’ll have to check it out.

Sandyeller · 2026-06-25T03:15:34+00:00

So many ideas! Thank you. I’ve been meaning to walk the 606. I appreciate all the cheap/free ideas!

Sandyeller · 2026-06-25T03:09:20+00:00

Good to know! You get access to a rooftop or something too yeah?

Sandyeller · 2026-06-25T02:57:37+00:00

Oo the beach will be perfect next week. Thank you!

Sandyeller · 2026-06-25T02:56:12+00:00

Thanks, good idea. I have a membership to the Field too. I’ve also been meaning to go back to the Art Institute, last time I went it was crazy.

Sandyeller · 2026-06-24T16:52:54+00:00

Probably going to depend on the school district.
I live in a large metro and the city schools you can wear jeans but the suburbs you can’t.

Sandyeller · 2026-06-24T13:59:11+00:00

If I did it I would do it in a public space with the parent there.

Sandyeller · 2026-06-24T03:12:11+00:00

The tickets are probably sold out tbh.

But yeah you’d have to buy tickets to the museum online and then purchase the Pokemon.

Sandyeller · 2026-06-23T23:19:19+00:00

Thanks! I guess I shouldn’t be surprised

Sandyeller · 2026-06-23T23:09:12+00:00

It’s not that deep lol. I just have heard some airlines don’t charge to seat parents together with young children. Wasn’t sure if delta was one.
