Danelle and Kyle Miller purchased their farm in Watertown in 2018 and absolutely love it. Danelle grew up on a small hog farm in Illinois and Kyle’s grandparents had a dairy farm. Danelle knew from a young age that she wanted to pursue something agricultural. Over time that dream seemed […]
A baby. A new baby. A newborn. Whether the baby is for your first, your 5th or your last. A new baby is life changing. Mamas are strong, courageous, fierce and have instincts. Moms also need support, assurance and guidance and words of affirmation. We were so excited to learn […]
Is your child always glued to their mobile phone or tablet that they have little to no time to exercise? Participating in physical activity becomes less frequent as a child ages. School takes up much of their time, and their idea of rest and entertainment nowadays is scrolling through social […]
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to get all dressed up, have your hair and makeup done, and then have a photoshoot focused on you with the sole purpose of feeling beautiful? I mean it sounds heavenly, don’t you think? Luxury Boudoir Portraits are a way […]
But then the next thing I knew, I was off-balance, stepping backward, and then water was over my head. I had a quick freakout moment that I was in the water and “was I going to be ok?” I truly don’t know exactly what happened when I fell, but now I had the task of trying to collect myself and get back on. I grabbed the paddle, plopped it on the board, and tried to conjure up a plan to get back on.
It’s pretty safe to say that 2020 was a tough year for moms. From virtual learning and working at home to missing in-person time with friends and family, navigating the pandemic’s effects on top of daily life hasn’t been easy for anyone. Going into 2021, it’s as important as ever […]
I’m not saying it’s going to be easy. Changing your habits can be hard, especially if you don’t really want to.
It’s Farmers’ Market season and they are open and ready to share their local products with all of us. I love visiting farmers’ markets and even roadside vegetable stands to pickup some great local faire for my family. So far this year, I have attended the Waukesha Farmers’ Market, and […]
We are all feeling a bit stir crazy by now and knowing that we will be like this for maybe another month may make some moms doubling up on their wine orders. But do not fret, we are all feeling the stress and pressures of the work/life balance, especially when it’s all under one roof.
Burn Boot Camp is opening in Waukesha within 4 weeks!
So, I’m 3 months in to my 3rd postpartum period. Some days it feels like I’m a seasoned veteran, some days like a clueless rookie. I’m blessed (and have been blessed the last 2 times around) with healthy, relatively easy newborns. But that doesn’t mean that there aren’t a few tried and true […]
I sometimes get lost in my own self pity, but, I look at my husband, he misses his Father, together we mourn the man who’s body moved on this year, but the life inside of it, the soul, had vacated it years before. My husbands pain very deep and raw, something I would bear for him, if I could. But since it’s not something that can be done it is easy to say. I think of those that I have lost, the high school suicide, the late 20’s death by his own hand, the car accident that snuffed out more than 1 life, the best friend who’s demons could not be drowned until he finally succumbed.
And I remind myself how precious life is.
I met my now husband, back in 2004. I knew at that time he has an incurable disease that he was born with, and would impact him in different ways. At that time, I had never heard of Sickle Cell Anemia, and truly didn’t even begin to understand the true […]
I was in the middle of a Christmas party last year when I started having contractions. I was only 30 weeks along and I was terrified. Per the on-call doctor’s directions, my husband and I left my two older children with their grandparents and headed over to the Emergency Department. […]
A Note to Myself on My Daughter’s First Day of Kindergarten // Slow down, Mom. Let her pick out her outfit, even though you can do it faster. Let her do her own hair, even though you can do it faster. Let her pack her lunch, even though you can […]
