Chapter 144- Discovery World (New Exhibit!)
We recently decided to check out Discovery World’s newest exhibit, Zoo in You — The Human Microbiome. Little T got a family membership last year, so we can come and go as we please without worrying about getting our money’s worth at each visit. Which is awesome. Because some days we stay for HOURS upon…

Chapter 142- Point Beach State Park & John Michael Kohler Arts Center
On one of the Fridays off my kids had in March (there were a ton, though I’m not complaining because it means we get to go adventure!), I convinced my friend Margo to caravan up to Point Beach State Park with me. Remember that I’m a “wing it” kind of woman? Well I grossly underestimated…

Chapter 141- Discovery World
On a sunny Saturday morning in February, the kids and I headed to Discovery World to check out one of their weekend events, Love Your Great Lakes. It was a day filled with projects, games and learning opportunities led by local organizations and non-profits. We first took a stroll through the promenade, where we…

Chapter 130- A Month in Review
I haven’t posted in such a long time, for a few reasons. The first is that we haven’t gotten out much. The second is that I’m too overwhelmed to go through and individually post the adventures we DID take. The third is that sometimes you just need a break. So because I have a slew…

Chapter 128- Milwaukee Art Museum
So the twins turned 4 this past week, and instead of having a party or something else that would take up energy and not be that enjoyable for me, we let J & Little A choose a special date. And my heart swelled when Little A said she wanted to go to the Milwaukee Art…

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 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 108- Mitchell Park Domes
A few weeks ago, my good friend Chai came up to visit us from Chicago. Chai has two amazing girls, A & V, who have most definitely inherited their mother’s creative bone. I’ll get to that at the end of this post. Anyway, we met up on Monday morning at The Domes. It was an incredibly busy…

Chapter 101- Play Date With Art at the Milwaukee Art Museum
Since we spent a month doing such exciting things as coloring on boxes, wearing finger puppets on our toes, and taking pictures of Rescue Bots, it’s been pretty quiet around here. The Storm house was hit hard with the flu among other awesomeness, and there was literally a full week where we didn’t leave the…

Chapter 98- Hamilton Wood Type & Printing Museum (Travel Edition)
St. Nick brought a toy for the kids, and a Jack White LP for Theo, but I made out on top this year. Yesterday, I drove up to Two Rivers and attended a workshop at the Hamilton Wood Type & Printing Museum. If you don’t read anything else in this post, just know that you should…
