I had heard of Moe’s Southwest Grill from a few friends over the years, but never ventured in. I wasn’t sure if it was a sit down and be waited on place or a quick serve and it just never made it to the top of my list. This past summer, a perk I receive for working at the Waukesha County Fair is enjoying the Main Stage entertainment from the Hospitality Area. This includes a meal, 2 drinks and a raised platform to enjoy the concert from. Sponsors of the Fair are given access this area as a way of saying Thank You for their support of the Fair. Each…

Day 1: Couldn’t find the original, but here is a screen cap from Instagram. We got Kacey (the guy) and JB (the dog) to run at Lapham Peak. We started with Asthma Hill and did a nice loop and ended at the tower. Big feat for both of them. And JB walked down the tower no problems. Up was another story for that little guy so he was carried. Extra workout for his mom. (Kacey did both on his own with only minimal complaining!) A great workout overall.   Day 2:  It was a cold one this morning and I couldn’t warm up at work. I was gifted some Salted Caramel…

I attempted to sit outside my work yesterday and enjoy my lunch in the sun, but the bees had another plan for me. They tried to steal my lunch and get their germs all over it. I feared if I swatted them away one more time, I was going to be stung. So I went off on a walk around downtown Waukesha instead.  I love how the sun comes through this bridge on the Riverwalk. The Fox River really is beautiful this time of year.  This ugly building will soon become apartments with a skywalk (South Street)  Hard to see but Jackson’s added a garage door to the front for…

This past weekend I was supposed to go camping and hiking with some friends at Devil’s Lake. Unfortunately some of those going ran into issues of being able to go for the whole weekend and so we ended up cancelling the trip all together. Although I would have been a trooper and survived, the weekend started out on a rather rainy and chilly note, so I think it’s best we didn’t go. So when I had no plans in place for Saturday, I joined my parents on a road trip venture through 4 counties covering about 140 miles round trip. We started in Waukesha to hit up the Farmer’s Market.…

So apparently tonight is rev up your engine and let everyone know what you got under that hood night.  At least 4 cars have revved up and peeled out from some business or road near me. Exact location unknown truthfully. But not only do they peel out squealing and all, they keep at it down Grandview.  Don’t get me wrong, I love me some classic car engine revving and wandering around car shows and riding passenger in something speedy. But Grandview is a busy road all the time and I always see cops so I don’t get why they would choose this road? It’s not even car show night, so…

If you have been on social media sites in the past few months, you may notice that some people are tagging posts with #100happydays and the post is something that makes them happy. This is a movement that I have noticed going through my friends and wanted to know more about it. I went to the website: 100happydays.com and found out more. The point is to make you realize that something every day can make you happy and you should be ok telling others you are happy. Then after the 100 days you are more willing to find something everyday that is making you happy and you won’t need to…

At the very end of 2013, my friend Tiffany and I enjoyed a tapas brunch at Generations at 5 Points. They were doing brunches once a month with seasonal menus and the dates hadn’t worked out for us to attend any of the others that had happened. But recently I saw via their Facebook page that they are offering brunch every Sunday. Tiffany and I set up another breakfast date last weekend and stopped in to catch up, relax and enjoy ourselves. It was a gorgeous day and we walked from the west end of Main Street to Gen Five for brunch. We saw that there is a new store…

I spent some time with my mom a few weekends back and we decided to do some shopping in Waukesha. She knows that I always can find us something to do so we didn’t really have a plan and just decided to start downtown and wander. We started with The Steaming Cup for a quick breakfast before some “power shopping.” I hadn’t had their breakfast yet and though the menu is small, it is very diverse. I chose the Brazilian Breakfast and my mom picked the Cranberry Bolo. Neither of us was 100% sure what we were getting but we sat down with our coffee and chai and waited for…

Some of my friends know that I am an avid user of the Waukesha Public Library. Maybe I should state that another way…..I am an avid financial supporter of the library and tend to “rent” my books, CDs and DVDs instead of check them out. Aaahahahahaha! I am guilty of not returning my books by the due date from time to time. I have gotten a lot better and I always pay my fines for the overdue materials. But fines add up quickly and the library has gotten a nice chunk of change from me this year! I have found that the library has a great selection of DVDs to…

From Sweet Perfections’ Facebook Page Last week, I was the proud winner of a Door County Cherry Tart from Sweet Perfections in Waukesha. How did I win this you ask? I simply liked their Win-It-Wednesday post Facebook and that gained me an entry to the contest. I then saw on Thursday that they had selected me as the winner and I had all day Friday to claim my prize 6 am – 6 pm (their hours). From Sweet Perfections’ Facebook Page The store had been located on Barstow Ave in downtown Waukesha for many years, but it needed to expand and I am so glad the company chose to stay…
