  • Chapter 61- Rural La Crosse (Travel Edition)

    For Memorial Day weekend, we headed to the La Crosse area to visit family.  I can’t showcase any of the sites, events, businesses or parks of the area, because all we did was play outside our family’s home. Kids ran in the sprinkler. Ran down hills. Helped feed some horses. And some goats. Watched the…

  • Chapter 60- Riverside Theater

    After hearing about the movie “Searching for Sugarman“, I saw that Rodriguez was coming to The Riverside Theater.  My sister-in-law and niece were big fans, so I suggested a ladies night out with my husband’s side of the family.  Woot! We ate at La Perla, after attempting two other restaurants (no, I didn’t have the…

  • My TV Debut!

    Today I got to meet some really  nice ladies on The Morning Blend, and share a bit about my blog and my life. You can watch the video, where we briefly talked about the fact that I have a million kids, our amazing community, my rather unique name (which led to the photo below), and…

  • Chapter 59- Discovery World

    Because Little T had been begging for a year, we bit the bullet and got a membership to Discovery World.  It was actually sort of reasonable, compared to the daily ticket prices.  We only have to go three times to make it worth the annual fee.  But we went on a Saturday morning, hoping it…

  • Chapter 58- Wehr Nature Center

    Last week we met up with some new friends and explored Wehr Nature Center for the first time.  Here’s Little T doing her best Vanna White impression. We parked and went inside to pay the $3 parking fee, then found our friends and hit the trails.  The trails we made it to were either paved…

  • Chapter 57- Milwaukee Public Museum & Milwaukee Public Market

    On Saturday I went on a Special Date (or “Feshil Date” as she says) with Little T.  We put on our sunglasses and headed to the Milwaukee Public Museum’s theater and planetarium to see the 40 minute long movie “One World, One Sky” (hosted by Big Bird, Elmo, and their Chinese friend Hu Hu Zhu).…

  • Chapter 56- Hoyt Park

    On a day too cold for spring jackets and no hats, we took a family walk around the trails at Hoyt Park.  I don’t have too many pictures because we were all sort of freezing and preoccupied with keeping moving/warm.   We parked at the Hoyt Park & Pool, and walked through the Beer Garden…

  • Chapter 55- Milwaukee Art Museum and O’Donnell Park

    Because last time we went to the Milwaukee Art Museum and didn’t have enough time after the Play Date with Art to visit the Kohl’s Art Generation Gallery, we made a special trip to the MAM last week.  We picked up Uncle Will and Auntie Rae and headed out the door. We had to make…
