We took a day trip to Door County and after we had amazing bbq at Casey’s we went for a hike. It’s an incredible hike on rocky cliffs that lead straight down to Lake Michigan. We took Watson with us and he had so much fun navigating the trails. The trails are full of tree roots […]
Casey’s BBQ & Smokehouse – Egg Harbor, Wisconsin
Few things in the world are better than smoked meats and bbq sauce. So we had to try Casey’s BBQ & Smokehouse when we were in Door County. We brought Watson with us so we went straight to the back patio and it was such a fun casual setting overlooking the gorgeous waterfront. It was […]

Four Ingredient Slow Cooker Chicken Wings
I received compensation from Alka-Seltzer® to write this post. All opinions are entirely my own. #MyFoodMoment #CollectiveBias AJ and I both have occasional heartburn with sleeplessness. It’s always on our minds when we’re deciding whether ordering those spicy wings is worth the heartburn we’ll be feeling later. We recently tried Alka-Seltzer® PM Gummies, a new […]
This is what happens after 100 days of MyFitnessPal
100 days ago I was really struggling with my weight. I would instantly delete pictures of myself. It was becoming difficult to find something in my closet to wear. I didn’t have the energy or motivation to peel myself off of the couch. Then I decided that enough was enough. I decided to start […]
Free resources we’re using to learn Spanish while unschooling
Aliceana is almost 6 and I figured it would be the perfect age to start learning Spanish. The only problem is I don’t know any Spanish aside from the words that everyone knows, uno, si, fiesta, taco, and other extremely basic vocabulary words. So I’m definitely not the best person to be learning Spanish from. So we’reworking […]

Gator School with Aliceana
Aliceana is unschooled, which means she picks her learning path, and we find really fun ways to learn with a pretty loose curriculum. We love to travel, explore new places, play with science experiments, read, play games and more. Aliceana is pretty obsessed with other YouTubers that she watches on YouTube Kids. So we decided that […]

BelAir Cantina – Milwaukee, Wisconsin
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 […]

So I put together a family and budget friendly list of the best spots of Milwaukee that I always bring my family and friends […]
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 […]
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 […]

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 […]
