Chapter 133 – Half Price Books & The Humane Society
Somehow, I’d never been to a Half Price Books store until a few weeks ago. We were on the hunt for cassette tapes because my stupid radio is dead in my car, which is a true test of dealing with uncomfortable emotions. To explain, I have to deal with CONSTANT chatter that sounds a lot like…

Chapter 132- Schlitz Audubon Nature Center
On a fairly mild but rainy day a few weeks ago, I took the kids out to Schlitz Audubon Nature Center to hike around. For those of you who aren’t familiar with the nature center, it’s 15 min north of the city and worth the short drive. You can get annual memberships, or pay by the…

Chapter 131- Cranky Al’s with new friends!
Last month, I met up with a few friend and ate sweets, drank coffee, watched our kids take over the place, and had some really good conversation. Ellia, of GreenBeanBaby, and I met at Elm Grove Art a few months ago, and have been meaning to meet up over donuts since. We finally made it…

Chapter 130- A Month in Review
I haven’t posted in such a long time, for a few reasons. The first is that we haven’t gotten out much. The second is that I’m too overwhelmed to go through and individually post the adventures we DID take. The third is that sometimes you just need a break. So because I have a slew…

Chapter 129- Drink & Ink at Bay View Printing
Another Drink & Ink? Why yes, yes indeed. I don’t know how I forgot to post this, but a few months ago, I attended a Drink & Ink at Bay View Printing Co. I rounded up a group of bad ass women, and we headed to Bay View with our drinks and snacks. Since I’ve…

Chapter 128- Milwaukee Art Museum
So the twins turned 4 this past week, and instead of having a party or something else that would take up energy and not be that enjoyable for me, we let J & Little A choose a special date. And my heart swelled when Little A said she wanted to go to the Milwaukee Art…

Chapter 127- 414 Music Live at Radio Milwaukee with New Age Narcissism
Another reason I love this city? Music. I’ve heard New Age Narcissism (a group of local musicians including Lex Allen, Siren, Webster X, Lorde Freddee, Bo Triples, Chris G., Jay Anderson and Q the Sun) on the radio for the past year or so, and been meaning to get to see them. So when I…

Chapter 126- Urban Ecology Center
In our desperate attempt to take in fall before it’s over, we went out to the Urban Ecology Center at Riverside Park for a hike last week. Have you ever read the book Frederick? It’s about a mouse who’s seemingly shirking his duties of storing food and preparing for the upcoming winter. But his…

Chapter 125- Apple Picking at Barthel Fruit Farm
Today, I made a break from our routine. I normally head to the gym with S while the twins are in preschool, but instead, we went apple picking! We had enough time to drive to Barthel’s and man, was it a good decision. I’m going to officially say that you should get out there soon…

Chapter 124- Elm Grove Art
My friend Keila (of Mommy In Milwaukee) and I attended a Momma’s Night Out at Elm Grove Art last weekend, and I have to tell you that it was so fun! I was a little nervous about leading the discussion about motherhood (Keila and I were hosting the night, as Mom Bloggers). I don’t actually…
