Rebecca Little is a native Chicagoan and mom to two boys. She has a Masters in Journalism from Northwestern University and is a graduate of the Second City improvisation training program – both equally useful, though one was much cheaper. She has written for Crain’s Chicago Business, Zagat, The Chicago Tribune, and is a former contributing editor at Chicago magazine. She also founded Pinwheel, a style, service and shopping blog for Chicago parents, and loves D.I.Y. and discovering new ways to keep two very active kids entertained and from spackling heirloom furniture or flushing toy trains, not that those are real examples.
