Publisher: ChiIL Mama

Hello, I'm Bonnie Kenaz-Mara, AKA: ChiIL Mama. I am a freelance writer-videographer-photographer with a P.R./Marketing & Theatre Arts degree (with honors) from Miami University and over 25 years of experience in the business. Our award winning, Chicago based blog, ChiIL Mama, is now averaging 188,615+ page views a month (as of 2/2014) and has a good national as well as local following. We specialize in blogging about Chicago based adult & children's theatre, multicultural events, and live concerts, but also cover eco-friendly living, fashion, food and fun. Nationwide giveaways and reviews include adult and kids' music in a variety of genres, tech apps and products, toys, lifestyle goods and books. My Children are tweens (a girl and boy who were born in 2001 & 2003). We're open to pitches from anyone, as our readers range from expecting parents to grandparents, but we particularly seek out products and places of interest to tweens, off beat, alternative, and eco-friendly. Our tickets and events are Chicago based, and our reviews, parenting features and giveaways are nationwide. If you are a company or a PR person, please feel free to contact me directly at Zbluesun@gmail.com regarding networking opportunities, brand ambassador programs, influencer events or advertising rates. I specialize in professional quality video and photo filled features. I'm happy to review toys, music, productions, products, housewares, restaurants and classes for adults or children and give my readers an honest opinion. We also love to run give aways. We're also working on several spin off blogs. ChiIL Live Shows features more adult music and theatre including lots of original band video interviews and live show stills and video footage. ChiIL Travel Kids features our original photo and video intensive world wide travel pieces, guest posts by American families living abroad, and Chicago favorites for visitors and locals alike.

Please email me at: zbluesun@gmail.com If you are running a promotion or can offer a discount to ChiIL Mama readers, please let me know ahead of time so I can include that information in my review. If possible, please include two products so that I can offer a giveaway to readers. Giveaways are a great opportunity to increase exposure to your product. All giveaways link back to you. A winner will be chosen using Random.org and will be notified by e-mail and on the blog. If you are mailing out the giveaway, I will email the address to you for shipping within a day of receiving from the winner. Once the campaign is completed, you may use portions of the reviews on your site (with appropriate linkbacks where applicable). **NOTE- Any and all items I receive are non-returnable and will not be used as the giveaway item(s) or sent back.** If you have any further questions, please e-mail me at zbluesun@gmail.com.
