Chapter 91- Estabrook Beer Garden for a Birthday Party!
For this little lady’s birthday, we did absolutely zero planning and had a blast. Here were the ingredients: friends and family, pizza, a playground, beer, and my mother-in-law’s carrot cake recipe. Because a place where you can drink a beer while pushing your kids on the swing is alright with us, we met at Estabrook…

Chapter 89- Hubbard Park Beer Garden (in two parts)
Last week, we went to Hubbard Park twice and had a blast both times. On our first adventure, we met some friends and friends of friends on a weekday and threw rocks in the water, played in mud, and watched the salmon swim up stream. Since it’s the end of the beer garden season,…

Chapter 88- NEWaukee Night Market
What are you doing tonight night, people? You should work in NEWaukee’s Night Market (open from 5-10pm, and final of the season!). Last month I went to September’s market, and had a great time. Here’s my recap: My friend Kate and I arrived like 30 minutes before it shut down for the evening, but quickly ran into people…

Alright, get ready for a slew of pictures of my kids dancing. I took them to Anodyne Coffee Roasters to see the band ROM from Washington DC last week, and the kids were incredibly excited to see some music by the band…and to dance. The girls really wanted to wear dresses (and arm warmers for…

After an easy and really enjoyable time volunteering, and an in-depth tour of Bryant’s Cocktail Lounge, I took Sunday to explore.

Chapter 84- Doors Open Milwaukee (Part II- In-Depth Tour at Bryant’s Cocktail Lounge)
For the second installment of my Doors Open Milwaukee weekend, I went to an in-depth tour of Bryant’s Cocktail Lounge, hosted by Wisconsin Foodie‘s Kyle Cherek. This tour was one of the chances to get a guided tour of one of the sites, and I should mention that members of Historic Milwaukee get first dibs…

Chapter 81- Hunger Task Force Farm

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 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…
