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 103- Asian Market Phongsavan
Today I was feeling adventurous, and met my friend Kate to get pho at Milwaukee’s Asian Market Phongsavan. I say adventurous because it was sort of a hike to get there, we were in a serious time crunch with naps quickly approaching, and I had no idea if my kids would actually eat pho. I’m going…

Chapter 102- Mitchell Park Domes & Schlitz Audubon Nature Center
Last Friday, my dear friend came into town from Madison with her girls. Since The Domes were a staple when my friend lived here, we didn’t even consider where else to meet! Oh, and Little T, if you’re reading this in the future, I’m sorry you couldn’t come and see your friends. Darn school! Ok,…

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 100- Drink & Ink at Bay View Printing Co.

Bay View Printing Company is a full-service print shop, with dedication to community workshops and spreading the love of this craft. They offer Thursday night Drink &…

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,…

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…

Chapter 96- Schlitz Audubon Nature Center
Because life happens to be particularly crazy right now, I’m finally getting to post about a trip to Schlitz Audubon Nature Center from about a month ago. We’ll pretend I’m posting pictures of warmer weather on purpose, to get us through the next few days, ok? I had been talking with a friend about October’s solar…

Chapter 95- First Aid Kit at Lakeland College
I’m still on could nine from Friday night, guys. The stars aligned, and I got in to First Aid Kit‘s sold-out show at Lakeland College! For those of you who don’t know, FAK is a sister duo from Sweden, and they play some damn fine folk/Americana music. I let my husband be my +1, and late…

Chapter 94 – Dia de los Muertos Parade
A few weeks ago, on a cold Saturday, I took the kids to see the Dia de los Muertos Parade at Walker’s Square Park. I had forgotten that last year, Theo took the twins and Little T to it, while I stayed home with baby S who was just a few days old. From what…
