  • 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.

  • Chapter 63- Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra (On the Road- Cathedral Square)

    The Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra gave a free concert in Cathedral Square, and since it was one of the most beautiful days in a while, we packed up a picnic and headed out.

  • Chapter Seventeen- Lakefront Festival of Art & Port of Milwaukee

    We made a last minute decision to head to the Lakefront Festival of Art this past weekend.  Good choice! After paying our dues (kids free, MAM members $8), we headed in to see some art.  As it turns out, though, it’s fairly difficult to get a good grasp of the art when you forgot your…
