Hello Friends!

-
Greetings,
Happy early as all get morning up to you! 

Thanks to daylight savings time I woke up today at 5:20 AM which would have normally been 4:20 AM a day ago, I would like my hour back now thank you very much.... AHHH! Curse this strange clock changing we must do. Alas, despite my lack of sleep I will voyage on!

I want to talk to you about a super nifty place I explored this weekend in the Milwaukee Area called Lapham Peak.



Lapham Peak is a lovely state park just west of the city offering a great mini adventure for the day. Jake and I went on a nice hike on one of the larger trails and even climbed "the Stairway to Heaven", you don't do that everyday! Lapham Peak is gorgeous and action packed with creatures of all sorts such as deer and chipmunks galore! If you're feeling more ambitious than we were you can even climb the tower at the top of the park for what I'm sure is a glorious view of the surrounding area, I wouldn't know I was feeling a bit too lazy to conquer all those steps!



Hopefully we continue to get excellent weather these next few days in Wisconsin (despite the rain that is) to wash away the grossness of Winter and to make way for Spring and Summer!

 Hooray for exploration!!

They don't call Milwaukee "Brew City" for nothing. If there's one thing we know how to do here it's brew beer! There are tons of great brewery tours throughout the city, one of the most popular being Lakefront Brewery on Milwaukee's East Side. http://bit.ly/2E1Bx9I Take the tour and learn the history behind Lakefront Brewery and the science that creates the beautiful nectar of the Gods we all know and love, beer. Lakefront Brewery has one of the most popular tours in Milwaukee and tickets sell out fast! Don't make the same mistake as I did and be sure to purchase tickets ahead of time online,but be wary, print is the only ticket option so be sure you have a printer handy. If you forget to buy tickets ahead of time or if you're printer is acting up(darn things, grrr) fear not, Lakefront now offers 20-minute "mini tours" Saturday evenings. Each tour is jam-packed with interesting factoids about sourcing, brewing and bottling beer, the

Bathroom Woes

This is a post that I have been contemplating writing for a while now. However, today is the day I was pushed over the edge... Oh yes just moments ago I deemed it my destiny to scribe this fine rant once and for all. I work in a university setting, that being said everyone here is a grown a$$ adult. Therefore, it seems logical to me that each of us would understand proper bathroom etiquette. Well my friends, I have been proven time and time again to be sadly mistaken. Oh the things I have seen. My poor eyeballs have been scarred for life, their innocence stripped away one disturbing bathroom visit after the next. Doust tho know not how to flush? Fellow restroom goers why have you forsaken me!?! Frightening beasts dwell in those cursed stalls, some more vulgar than others yet each equal in terror and disgust. Bathroom users (aka everyone in the Human race) you have me down on my knees. I'm begging you please flush it down. flush it down, down, down, flush it down, down, d

2 Ingredient Cakes

Cake Talk. That's right ladies and gents you read that headline correctly. I'm talking 2 ingredient cakes! 2 ingredients, no more, no less! Who could deny such a beautiful thing? I'm not sure if I've digressed quite enough to make it clear to everyone how much I love cakes, ice cream or anything relatively dessert like and delicious. So, this is me telling you that I LOVE treats! You can imagine my excitement when I stumbled upon the idea of two ingredient cakes. First off, you only have to buy two things to make it so they're cheap, secondly all of the recipes boast how these cakes are somehow healthier for you due to the lack of ingredients. I'm not sure if I'm buying their claims but hey, I'll take it! Our first recipe is one that I know to be tried and true... Pineapple Angel Food Cake! All that you need is angel food cake mix and a can of diced pineapples. If you're an overachiever like me you should also invest in some whipped cream b
