It's finally here!
The season we've all been desperately waiting for has decided to make an appearance! Let me be the first to tell you Summer your presence is much obliged.

Happy early days of Summer ya'll! Summer is arguably the best time of the year with Fall taking a close second (due to Halloween of course). People are graduating, the days are longer and heatwaves hotter than Hades are approaching, what's  not to love?

Along with pleasant weather comes exciting new adventures! My Summer is already jam packed with action featuring  but not limited to, camping, a road trip to Nashville, fun with friends, exploration and last but not least my wedding day! Now those are events to get pumped up about!

As I mentioned above Jake and I are going on a road trip to Nashville TN, bring on that Honky Tonk life! I am a huge fun of country music so a few days in Nashville should be right up my alley! Considering I have not yet partaken in this excellent adventure I will share with you some road-trip snack ideas that I will be testing out during my travels.

Road-Trip Snacks: Because, I take my food very seriously.
* Apples
* Bananas 
* Granola Bars
* Trail Mix
* Greek Yogurt
* Hardboiled Eggs 
* Popcorn 
* Pretzels 
* High Quality H2O 

Clearly the items listed above are just child's play in the food department, we will need to get some real nomz along the way. However, snacks are absolutely essential in order to ward off the beast that I become in my less than loved hangry state! 

So friends, acquaintances and random strangers of the interwebs, get out there and enjoy your Summer! It has only just begun!

 Adventure Awaits.

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

The American Horror Story Guide to New Orleans

New Orleans' rich history made for the perfect setting for season three of AHS, Coven. From Voodoo Queen Marie Laveau to deranged mass murderer Delphine LaLaurie, these figures weren't just characters in a TV show, they were real people who lived out their days in The Big Easy and who left their mark on the city forever. Now, AHS did take a few artistic liberties, for example, Laveau and LaLaurie weren't sworn enemies, in fact, they weren't even alive during the same time period. But AHS also got some things right, in addition to crafting Gris-Gris bags for healing and good luck Marie Laveau really was a hairdresser and Delphine LaLaurie was indeed as dark and sinister as portrayed. If you find yourself in NOLA and want to do some Coven-inspired sight-seeing here are a few stops you won't want to miss.  Marie Laveau's Tomb  Nestled in the famed St. Louis Cemetary No. 1 , you'll need to join a tour group to experience this piece of living history as it&

What to do in Crescent City

I recently checked a visit to NOLA off my bucket list and was impressed with all the city had to offer. A diverse mix of locals and tourists, music everywhere and an interesting art scene, our five days in New Orleans were well spent.  Exploring the French Quarter  Now I know that most people will tell you not to spend your trip trapped in the French Quarter, but man, there is just so much to see and do there. Odds and ends shops, tantalizing food and of course, booze, the French Quarter is jam-packed with excitement every which way you look. So, like the tourists that we were, we went against the abovementioned advice and spent a good chunk of our time exploring it and I'm glad to report that we didn't feel it was time wasted.  Once the home of early European settlements, the French Quarter has plenty of interesting history to explore including the intricate iron-detailed buildings that line the streets. Tiered and colorful, the architecture of this area is if
