  • Chapter 46- Supermercado El Rey

    I’d heard on Radio Milwaukee about the El Rey grocery store, and that you can get lunch within the market.  So while running some errands sort of near 16th and National, I made my way to the Nuevo Mercado El Rey. There are a few different locations of El Rey, but this market has a…

  • Chapter 43- South Shore Park/Stone Creek Coffee/Winter Farmer’s Market

    For Valentines Day this year, Theo gave me the wonderful gift of a morning to myself.  Very romantic, I know.  But the opportunity to hit the refresh button is essential to being a happy wife/mother/friend/sister/person. So I bring you to Saturday morning at South Shore Park.  I arrived just as the sun was rising, parked…

  • Chapter Thirty Eight- First Sunrise of the Year at Bradford Beach

    On New Years Day, I woke up early and took myself on a photo date.  I had visions of watching the sun rise with some crisp clouds low on the horizon, all while capturing some really interesting and changing colors in the sky.  However, Mother Nature had different plans.  I got to Bradford Beach plenty early,…

  • Chapter Thirty Three- BelAir Cantina Tosa

  • Chapter Twenty Nine- RadioLab at Riverside Theater

    Last week I got dressed up for what I’m sure will be the last time before this baby is born.  You have no idea how uncomfortable I was wearing something other than yoga pants! Anyway, my brother in law got tickets to go see the NPR radio program RadioLab at The Riverside Theater.  My husband and…

  • Chapter Twenty Seven- Milwaukee Film Festival (Free the Mind)

    Last night, I took myself on a date.  Not that I don’t like my husband or my friends, but I really enjoy alone time.  So that said, I bought a ticket on Milwaukee Film Festival’s website for Free the Mind, put on some lipstick, threw down some heartburn medicine (you know how the end of…
