Mac & Cheese Lists

Head Cheese-It Saya likes lists. She’s Type A. She’s organized. She likes bullet points. She likes to cross things off. She has (strong, sometimes inane) opinions. She finds lists really helpful in brainstorming and reflecting. She likes easy to find, access, and share information. Especially of the win-win-win variety. She wins, you win, a third party wins.

Links may be referral links. You may get goodness, M&C may get goodness, both may get goodness. Goodness being a credit, discount, compensation, a high-five. As an Amazon Associate, M&C earns from qualifying purchases. If M&C refers someone or something, know that the referral is rooted in genuine reverence for his/her/its quality and usefulness.

Because Mac & Cheese is headquartered in Chicago, many of the lists are Chicago-heavy. But many of the people, organizations, activities work virtually, so if something piques your interest, don’t let location deter you from exploring further! If a business listed has closed, shoot Saya a note (so hard to keep up with openings and closings!).

Service Provider Referrals

Due to the amount of asks and Saya attempting some amount of selectivity, no, you can’t be added to the list (even though what you offer is fabulous). She adds people at her discretion. If you’d like exposure to the Cheese-It network, head here. If you use anyone below, let Saya know about your experience.

Alphabetical by category. Chicago-based unless otherwise noted; many offer virtual services.
