The other day we were in Milwaukee and wanted to try something new. So we headed to the original location of BelAir Cantina for an extremely satisfying lunch. It's such a fun location, it almost feels like you're in sunny California, there's a lot of bright decor and mismatched art and the building itself looks like a surf shack, you can't miss it on Water Street. BelAir ...
How to explore downtown Milwaukee
While we don't live in Milwaukee, but it feels like we live in Milwaukee because we're there so often. We love Milwaukee for shopping, for eating, for entertainment, and don't forget the beer. So I put together a family and budget friendly list of the best spots of Milwaukee that I always bring my family and friends to when I want to show them what downtown has to offer. This ...
What to buy to prepare for wisdom tooth extraction recovery
I just had my wisdom teeth extracted, a procedure that definitely didn't go as planned because I waited too long, but that's a whole different story. There were definitely things I should have thought to get ahead of time, and things that helped me out that I didn't even consider beforehand. So I thought I would put together a list of things you need to buy to prepare for the ...
The first loose tooth.
The other day I was sitting with Aliceana and she looked at me and said, "My tooth is loose." I was surprised and immediately inspected the situation and sure enough her front tooth was incredibly loose. I told her to wiggle it like crazy when we're at home, but leave it alone when we're out and about. I warned her that it would bleed a little, but wouldn't hurt, it would just ...
Unplugged Roadtrip – Reconnecting on the road
When you're at home there are just so many distractions, a show you're itching to catch up on, emails to check, video games to conquer, feeds to scroll through. It gets to be a lot, too much. So sometimes we need a bit of a detox. We actually went on a little road trip for Valentine's day and it was really wonderful. AJ had some business in the Northwoods of Wisconsin so we ...
Lakefront Brewery Beer Hall in Milwaukee, Wisconsin
Lakefront Brewery is near and dear to our hearts, the first time AJ and I visited it was on our babymoon when I was 6 months pregnant with Aliceana way back in 2012. I was designated driver, and AJ got double the beer samples on the tour. He fell in love with craft beer that day, and 6 years later he now works for Lakefront as the northern sales rep, so I'm a little bias, but ...
Kiwi Crate – Arcade
Aliceana is obsessed with building, she's always drawing blueprints for her new inventions. A few of her inventions that I remember off hand, the computer that will give you anything you want, just ask, and you shall receive. Next up is the automatic hairbrush, it brushes your hair so you can do important things, like eat. She's always asking if we can build crazy things, I ...
