Chapter 123- Green Meadows Petting Farm
Greetings! Back to school season…I’m learning that it’s not hard just for kids to get on a new schedule, it’s hard for me too! I’m trying to catch up on the end of summer here, and realized I haven’t yet posted about the amazing Green Meadows Petting Farm. I had a Living Social coupon to…

Chapter 122- Holey Moley Donuts and Gordon Park
Last week I saw a picture of donuts from Holey Moley, and decided to pack up the kids and take a trip for a mid-morning snack. We pranced our way into the sort of odd location (the lobby area connected to Coquette Cafe and a few other businesses), smashed our faces against the glass, and…

Chapter 121- Cushing Park
A few weeks ago, before summer was not ALMOST OVER OH MY GOSH, we made the trek out to Cushing Park. It was super easy to find and was well contained. I like those qualities in a park. The play structure was wooden, and had a fence around with only one entrance/exit. Perfect for people with…

In case you had the wrong idea about me…
I feel like I need to clear up something. An old friend of mine and I were texting the other day. She asked what I was up to, and I said “not really anything…just sort of, you know…waiting till kids’ bedtime”. Here’s what followed: Because here’s the thing. I’ve had some people tell me that…

Chapter 120- Barthel Fruit Farm: Strawberry and Pea Picking
Let me just start by saying of course this post, like most, could be better timed. If things were different in my life and blogging were actually my job, I’d have posted this right before strawberry and pea picking, rather than after. Then I’d give you a list of farms around Milwaukee, complete with some sort of…

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 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 116- Orange Gallery
Hey all! If you’re free tonight, check out Orange Gallery’s Grand Opening! I was lucky enough to attend the soft opening in February, and wanted to share about this cool new shop. Ngoc is a fabulous lady (pictured below, left) who has put together the collection of artwork, jewelry, clothing and general awesomeness in the gallery.…

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…
