1. Kate from 365Barrington | Special musical guest performer Laura Doherty a huge hit with kids at @barringtonarealibrary!
2. TomrodRoot | Another “roof shot” at Grove Avenue School. Students celebrating being named a “Blue Ribbon School“. It was the third time in school history which puts us among only 85 out of 90,000 total schools in the US who have achieved that feet. Dr. K became the ONLY principal to receive 3 during a career as principal. #GROVE3PEAT
3. Nortons USA | The Christmas shopping season is in full swing at #NortonsUSA! Come see their beautiful selection of gifts and holiday decor – all made in the USA!

5. Kate from 365Barrington | Early Saturday morning at Advocate Good Shepherd Hospital. @advocateshep
6. Liz from 365Barrington | Another unsuccessful attempt to capture a nice family photo while Christmas tree shopping. Apologies to all who witnessed my kids playing hide-and-seek in the trees at @HomeDepot Sunday. Hope your tree (and your loved ones) are merry & bright after Thanksgiving week!?
7. Notice Barrington | It’s time to bundle!! Wrap yourself up in one of our @echonewyork scarves! Also this @lillapnyc sweater is so cozy!

9. Mum.117 | Some little mice told us that @kobocandles smell divine and we couldn’t agree more! Not only are KOBO Candles hand poured in New York, they’re made from 100% USA grown soy wax, too. They also make wonderful gifts!
