POV: You finally find an activity that makes the kids forget all about their electronics. 🎮🙌🏽

in Orland Park was a HIT with the whole family! Over 25 interactive missions, tons of teamwork, and nonstop fun.

The real challenge? Getting my kids to leave when it was over. 😂

I was sooo excited when we scored a last-minute reservation at One of Chicago’s hottest restaurants right now, and babyyy, it was absolutely worth the hype! 😍✨

The stunning riverfront views, incredible food & cocktails, and the sweetest, most attentive service made the entire experience a 10/10. And the food AND dessert?! 🤤 Everything was sooo good!

If NAIA isn’t on your Chicago restaurant list yet, go ahead and add it because this one is definitely a MUST! 🥂🍽️✨

Creamy, cheesy, meaty and packed with flavor… definitely a 10/10 over here!

The woman behind Cravin With Raven 💕

Most people know me for the recipes, restaurant reviews, and food adventures, but there’s so much more to me than what’s on the plate.

I’m a wife, mother, full-time laborer, creator, dreamer, entrepreneur, and a woman learning to embrace every season of life while building a brand I’m proud of.

Some days start before the sun comes up. Some days are spent on the job. Some nights are spent creating content, testing recipes, answering emails, and chasing dreams after everyone else has gone to sleep.

It isn’t always easy balancing it all, but every challenge reminds me why I started. I’m building something bigger than myself, something my family can be proud of.

Thank you for supporting my journey, and my creativity. Whether you’ve been here from the beginning or you’re just joining the family, I appreciate you more than you know.

This is just the beginning. ✨
