Chapter 148- Milwaukee Music
Need one more reason to love this city? Look no farther than the music scene! I’ve found a ton of opportunities to take my kids to see some live and GOOD music here in town, and I wanted to share some of them with you. Let me first say why I think music is important…

Chapter 147- First Stage Theater (Chitty Chitty Bang Bang)
While growing up in my family, Thanksgiving meant a 3-5 day celebration with aunts, uncles, cousins, and family friends. Wednesday was an all-night pizza party that ran right into Thursday morning turkey baking. After our meal on Thursday, we’d play and nap and the kids would invariably get into some sort of trouble before movie time…

Chapter 127- 414 Music Live at Radio Milwaukee with New Age Narcissism
Another reason I love this city? Music. I’ve heard New Age Narcissism (a group of local musicians including Lex Allen, Siren, Webster X, Lorde Freddee, Bo Triples, Chris G., Jay Anderson and Q the Sun) on the radio for the past year or so, and been meaning to get to see them. So when I…

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 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 105- Fox & Branch at Anodyne Coffee
Last Sunday, Little T had a special at home date with Theo, and I took the other three kids to see Fox & Branch at Anodyne Coffee in Walker’s Point. The band plays a free show at 11am about once a month, and I’d been meaning to get to one for a while. And it was…

Chapter 104- Studio Session at Radio Milwaukee with Bahamas
So you all know my trusty go-to radio station, 88Nine Radio Milwaukee, right? Well because I’m a member, I got invited to their Frostbite Series (a bunch of bands played studio sessions for the station). I RSVP’d to go see Bahamas. Not that I knew much about them besides this song, which you have definitely…

Chapter 99- Colectivo’s Gospel Brunch (Plus a totally unrelated giveaway!)
Last month, I finally made it to the Colectivo on Farwell for their Gospel Brunch, which supports Progressive Community Health Centers. I packed up my kids and met a friend, and the dancing immediately commenced. It was a great way to spend our morning! My kids made a new friend, ate some delicious baked goods,…
