I grew up in Libertyville. My husband and I lived in the city prior to moving to Lake Forest. We moved here for the schools, community, and backyard! I have three children… all girls. I have twins who just turned 13 and a younger daughter who is 11. They all are super into competitive cheer and are on cheer teams at Cheer Athletics Chicago. That said, I spend most of my evenings driving them to and from practice and eavesdropping on their back seat conversations.
