I’m a woman with a challenge: get out once a week and document it.
This blog started out because I couldn’t contribute my time to volunteering or working in this fine city (cause you know, I had 4 kids in 4 years), but I could participate by going places. And taking pictures. And talking to people. And writing about it here. So this is my opportunity to go to the parks, festivals, events, restaurants, museums, trails, gardens, and buildings that call Milwaukee (and surrounding area) home.
I’m interested in experiencing Milwaukee as an individual, a family, a spectator, a lover of the outdoors, a mom, an artist, and a student. I also have dreams of traveling and getting to know other cities. While this blog is about the city in which I reside, I have a strong urge for wanderlust and getting outdoors.
I grew up in Wisconsin, lived in Seattle after I finished college, and eventually found my way to the Milwaukee area. Before my family grew, I worked in non-profits and then outdoor retail by connecting amazing non-profits in Milwaukee to funds that support their efforts. I have four small kids, so prepare for a million photos of them (Big T, Little A, J & S) but none of my Pinterest-inspired and organized home. Most of my time is currently spent hiking, freelance writing, driving kids to school, and avoiding making dinner. Some of my adventures will be with a circus of children. Some with my main squeeze, Theo, and some alone.
I post about once a week, but the best way to stay updated is to enter your email address in the “subscribe” box on the main page. That way you’ll get a message every time I post. I’ll probably repeat adventures because who can have the same exact experience twice?
Have suggestions for adventures? I’d love to hear.
Peace,
Amber Storm
