Chapter 120- Barthel Fruit Farm: Strawberry and Pea Picking
Let me just start by saying of course this post, like most, could be better timed. If things were different in my life and blogging were actually my job, I’d have posted this right before strawberry and pea picking, rather than after. Then I’d give you a list of farms around Milwaukee, complete with some sort of…

Chapter 119- Tosa Tonight at Hart Park
I’d like to dedicate this post to the big blanket I carry in my trunk, thanks to my Grandpa Cy!. Because a few weeks ago, I did NOT feel like making dinner (which is pretty much every night this summer) and decided to take the kids to Gilles to get burgers to take to a…

Chapter 118- Ingebrigt Håker Flaten at Anodyne Coffee
A few weeks ago, I saw a notification on my Facebook page that Anodyne Coffee was hosting a free performance by Ingebrigt Håker Flaten, a jazz bassist from Norway who was in town for the OKKA Fest. Since I knew nothing about Ingebrigt or the jazz fest, I thought it would be a perfect event for…

Chapter 117- Milwaukee Public Museum with new friends!
A few weeks ago, I met up with Keila of Mommy In Milwaukee, and her two adorable boys, at the Milwaukee Public Museum. Keila is such a kind and positive woman, and I feel so happy to have met her. We’d connected on Instagram, and decided we should probably adventure together at some point. When…

Chapter 115- Milwaukee Ballet’s Cinderella
My mom treated me, Little T and Little A to the ballet! And because it was Cinderella, the girls took another opportunity to wear some sweet dress up dresses I found at Goodwill last year (because the attire is pretty standard on regular days at home, too). And Little T was extremely lucky…as one of…

Chapter 114- Kaleo at 88Nine Radio Milwaukee
Alright, this is going to be a pretty quick post for a few reasons. One is that I didn’t take many photos (I took some videos but cannot for the life of me format them correctly so you can view them…boo!) and the other is that I have a queue of posts just waiting to…

Chapter 113- Cuban Day Street Celebration
Thanks to Miltown Moms, I heard about Saturday’s Cuban Day Street Celebration. The weather was cooperating, so I packed up the kids and headed downtown to Milwaukee St. in front of Cubanitas restaurant. The celebration included a stage with some wonderful live music, space for dancing, tables and chairs, a small booth or two, and a very large inflatable…

Chapter 112- Performing Arts in the Park
I found out through the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra’s Facebook page that the United Performing Arts Fund (UPAF) put on a cool and free event to bring arts to families. There were events at Humboldt, Lincoln, Gordon, Mitchell, Lafollette parks and the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Community Center. We chose the latter location because First…

Chapter 111- Milwaukee Public Museum
Today, Little T went on a special date with her aunt and cousin, so I took the other three kiddos to the Public Museum. We’ve been doing a lot of around-the-house playing lately, without much adventuring. But today I had requests to see dinosaurs and butterflies, so we headed to the MPM for a visit.…

Chapter 110- An Epic Road Trip to Colorado
I’ll tell you a story about a woman who had cabin and then spring fever so bad that she decided to pack up her four kids under age 6 and drive to Colorado. So let me back up a bit…I realized two weeks before Little T’s spring break that well, she had a spring break (I’m still getting…
