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 113- Cuban Day Street Celebration
Thanks to Miltown Moms, I heard about Saturday’s Cuban Day Street Celebration. The weather was cooperating, so I packed up the kids and headed downtown to Milwaukee St. in front of Cubanitas restaurant. The celebration included a stage with some wonderful live music, space for dancing, tables and chairs, a small booth or two, and a very large inflatable…

Chapter 112- Performing Arts in the Park
I found out through the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra’s Facebook page that the United Performing Arts Fund (UPAF) put on a cool and free event to bring arts to families. There were events at Humboldt, Lincoln, Gordon, Mitchell, Lafollette parks and the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Community Center. We chose the latter location because First…

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 110- An Epic Road Trip to Colorado
I’ll tell you a story about a woman who had cabin and then spring fever so bad that she decided to pack up her four kids under age 6 and drive to Colorado. So let me back up a bit…I realized two weeks before Little T’s spring break that well, she had a spring break (I’m still getting…

Chapter 109- Organ Piper Pizza
After one failed attempt at Organ Piper Pizza (we showed up at 6:30pm and there was a 30 minute wait. You can imagine that timing doesn’t work for a family with 4 kids under age 6), we headed back and arrived right when they opened. I’d heard about this gem from my native Milwaukee friends,…

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 107- Free Ice Cream Today!
I heard through Metroparent’s Facebook page that Dairy Queen is offering free cones today. So naturally, we got on our shoes after nap and walked to the closet location! It’s a beautiful day, and my poor kids have been cooped up forever, so we thoroughly enjoyed walking in our neighbors’ lawns and finding birds nests.…

Chapter 106- Washington DC
Hey there! It’s been a while, and I have a lot to catch up on. So I’ll start with my out of town adventure to see my dear friend Nancy, and meet her (then) 9 week old baby girl, Ingrid June. She’s the cutest. I was surprised how in love I fell with a baby…

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…
