Burning the Bad Luck Brewers Hat As you cheer on the Brewers in game two of the NLDS against the Phillies tonight, send a little cheer of thanks to my pal Aaron Gross.Why? Well, if it wasn't for a keen observation on Aaron's part our hometeam might never have made it to their first playoff series in 26 years.It was on July 3, 20...

Oysters & Wine - Friday's Perfect End Be jealous of me right now. As you're still trapped in your cubicle I'm enjoying freshly shucked oysters from the St. Paul Fish Market at the Thief Wine Bar in the Milwaukee Public Market as I write this blog. If you haven't been to the Milwaukee Public Market in a while you have to get do... Posted by moxy99 at 3:01 p.m. | Talkbacks Category: Dining

Banishing the Puke Smell? Unfortunately our little dude has caught some sort of stomach bug that has caused him to toss his cookies multiple times in the past 12 hours. And now that he's a toddler, this means it's a traveling show, so it hasn't been confined to one location. I'm in round two of super clea...

The Dangers of Being an Erin at Irish Fest Irish Fest is Milwaukee's best festival. Of course I am biased as I've always had an unnatural affinity for the 25% of me that hails from the Green Isle and a regret at never becoming one of those cute Irish dancing girls.Unfortunately I've only made it to Irish Fest twice in the eight years I ha...

The Jesus Wagon Rolls Again It must be spring in Milwaukee, I just saw the Jesus Wagon rolling down Prospect. Actually, I was stuck behind the Jesus wagon as he tooled downtown to the East Side at 5 mph.Perhaps Jesus Wagon isn't the correct term, but I'm referring to the station wagon plastered with a variety of sayings and...

One Vote Can Help These Kids It's not often that we receive a forwarded email that has true merit.This afternoon, my girlfriend passed along an email that at first glance seemed to be the typical forward. Thankfully this one did not have to be researched on Snopes.com, rather it included a link that could help bring two Fun ... Posted by moxy99 at 10:17 p.m. | Talkbacks Category: Kids & Family

More Difficult? Home Mom or Working Mom? Yesterday one of my girlfriends who is currently staying home with her young son asked me if it was more difficult to be a stay-at-home mom or a working mother. Without missing a beat I said stay-at-home mom.When my husband and I first learned we were pregnant one of the first books I purcha...

Northern Room Shows National Potential My music savvy co-workers would tell you I am not one to unearth an as-yet-to-be-discovered music act. I am a pretty standard music consumer, but do include 88.9FM and 89.7FM on my radio dial in addition to 102.1FM and 106.1FM (a girl needs some country).When I look at my coworkers iPod music lib...

More Drive-Thrus Please There really should be more drive-thrus. Prior to joining the ranks of parenthood, I partook in the convenience of the drive-thru, but did not mark it as one of life's necessities -- up there with running water and electricity -- until now. Having experienced 10 months of parenti... Posted by moxy99 at 1:23 a.m. | Talkbacks Category: Kids & Family
