Chapter 81- Hunger Task Force Farm
(My friend Raina Johnson wrote a piece for Milwaukee Neighborhood News Service about this adventure, as she’s a freelance writer and fellow Metroparent blogger. It’s also been picked up by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel) I was invited by Metroparent Magazine to have a tour and volunteer session at The Hunger Task Force Farm a few weeks ago. After…

Chapter 80- Skyline Music Series
If you can access a calendar and read my blog, you will get a sense of my timeline currently. That said, a few weeks ago was the last in the Skyline Music Series. I’d been wanting to go to more free concerts this summer, and with it being the last chance to see one at…

Chapter 78- Gilles Frozen Custard
It was a day when Little T was on a Special Date with Theo, and I needed to get out of the house with the other kids. I packed them up and we drove to Gilles Frozen Custard, a place I remember going to when I was a kid (keep in mind I grew up…

Chapter 77- Doors Open Milwaukee (Volunteer Orientation)
For the past few years, I’d hear about Doors Open Milwaukee as it was happening and wish I had coordinated my life so I could attend. The idea of the event is to open up buildings in Milwaukee to the public, free of cost, for one weekend. Check out their website for a list of…

Chapter 76- Governor Dodge State Park and more (Travel Edition)
You see the time on that clock? It’s 6:45PM. And that’s what time we finally left Milwaukee for the two hour drive to Governor Dodge State Park for a few nights of tent camping. Just 6 hours and 45 minutes late. Because my husband is a genius, and because the above picture is of Little…

Chapter 75- Wisconsin State Fair
I came away with two things after visiting the Wisconsin State Fair today: I probably won’t eat meat anymore, and the advantage of having a screaming child is that you can keep track of them really easily in a sea of people. Oh yeah, and also I vow not to do this again next year. So…

Chapter 74- Buena Vista, Colorado (Travel Edition, obviously)
Pardon the long break, everyone! It’s been a busy few weeks, and this post explains a big chunk of that. Get ready for a week in (a million) pictures… I took Little A and Baby S to visit my sister in Colorado last week, and had a blast. How did I end up taking just…

Chapter 73- Possibility Playground
A change of scenery is always welcome, so when the opportunity to meet up with some family at Possibility Playground in Port Washington came up, we jumped at it. The playground is “universally accessible” so kids with all abilities can enjoy the fun. And as a bonus, it has a fence around the playground and only…

Chapter 69- Tosa Farmers Market
While Little T was at her cousins’ house for a sleepover (click here for a post about her adventure), I took the other three kids to the Tosa Farmers Market. It’s amazing how having one less child to watch after changes the vibe! After running into our neighbors and chatting near the railroad tracks, we headed…

Chapter 67- Sonny Knight & The Lakers Studio Session at Radio Milwaukee
This just happened, like an hour ago. I won entrance to Radio Milwaukee’s Studio Session with Sonny Knight and The Lakers, but couldn’t find a sitter. So I took the kids with me! The lovely folks at Radio Milwaukee were totally fine with me bringing my four kids to a live recording. We stopped at…
