My husband and I are huge fans of the show Friends and no other sitcom did Thanksgiving nearly as well.

Summer has been amazing. It really has. Wisconsin summers are incredible, but they are short. Three months of family, friends, lakes, beaches, pools, cookouts, vacations, s’mores, fireflies + so much more. The Lake Country Mom wants to celebrate the end of summer! Why not? We are so excited to get […]
Yesterday while sitting watching TV and petting my Golden retriever I was quickly reminded it’s Tick season. Passing my hand over his shoulder I hit a new bump in his skin, sure as day, a nice big swollen tick had embedded himself into my humble dog. My dogs stay in […]

Labor Day has come and gone and with it comes Pumpkin Spice everything, sweaters, and boots…..well eventually. It’s still rather warm outside and will be for some time. So don’t unpack those boots just yet and take a little time to pamper yourself (and maybe your little ones)—you deserve it.
It’s bittersweet, summer’s end is approaching….yet the fun is just beginning! Let’s kick-off the “fall” festivities with St. Charles Fall Fest: a lake country favorite!
