These are our favorite stops in Wisconsin when the weather starts to change to fall. We dress in layers because one minute its hot and the next its cold. The trees turn a variety of colors and there are festivals throughout Wisconsin! Everything from harvest fests to Oktoberfests to halloween celebrations!

Recs from someone who lives here! It’s a beautiful little village that reminds me a bit of a fairytale with its limestone buildings and German and Irish history.

These are our tried and true summer adventures in Wisconsin on a single mom's travel budget. My daughter is 10 years old, she loves water, being outdoors, crafts, and day trips.

We have two lists for Wisconsin Dells with kids, one for summer and one for winter. This summer edition discusses all the water parks available, with my favorite being Noah's Ark.

For over 40 years, my family has been going to Noah’s Ark waterpark. Here are all the tips and tricks we use, in addition to our favorite rides and what we pack for our trip.

Back in 2010, I went to the theater to watch Eat Pray Love and cried without fully understanding why. At the time, I wasn’t married or divorced yet, but deep down I knew something in my life didn’t feel aligned. As the years unfolded, I found myself returning to this movie again and again. It helped me realize that so much of what I was searching for externally—in relationships, achievement, identity, and validation—was actually something I needed to reconnect with within myself.

I have lived every resource on this list and I've been in so many Facebook/Nextdoor/Linkedin groups where people are asking for help with divorce. Having gone through it myself in 2018 and having been in a child custody and placement dispute myself that spanned 6 years, here are the resources that helped me. I hope they help you too.

I had a wonderful 20 year career in corporate accounting but I knew something was missing. I can't say that I could give you the same advice as only you know what works for your path. But here is what helped me transition from a corporate career to finding balance between my career and my family.

As a professional cleaner for over 5 years, I use products that work with the first application, smell uplifting, are not toxic, and that I can recommend to my clients for their own personal use. These are the products that I use and recommend.

A clean home feels different than a tidy home. These are the products I use when a home needs a true reset—after winter, before the holidays, after construction, or when life simply gets busy. These are my favorite tools and products for tackling the dirt, dust, and buildup that accumulate over time.

I often encounter people that are overwhelmed with cleaning. I tell them to start small and work from one area to the next. I keep it simple and methodical, I don't leave a space until its cleaned.

Everyday I use these products and I wouldn’t change a thing. I stick to simple ingredients and you won’t find a lot of fragrance in my picks.

If you saw my make up cabinet, you would probably be asking where the rest of it is, lol. I keep only the makeup that I wear and use. I don’t have any lipstick because I never wear it. I have skin care products, foundation, eye shadow and mascara. I like a very no make up look.

In 2014, I had an awakening in my car-- all the sudden, my dashboard lights flashed and I looked down to see 55,555 miles, 55 degress, 5:55 PM and I was driving past two 55 MPH speed limit signs. I suddenly had a thirst to read books I was never interested in until that point. In 2014, I read over 294 books on spirituality. These were the books that most helped me on my journey and I continue to go back to them and use them in my daily life over a decade later.

These are the movies I have studied extensively. They helped me heal, learn about relationships, and study martial arts.

This is the methodology I use to create my own prep for taxes and as a preparer, this is how I like to see documents organized. This saves you time and money because it makes for easy input into any tax software.

I buy clothes that are easy to mix and match with the pieces that I already love to wear. There are tank tops and cover ups that layer easily for Wisconsin's quick change in weather and easily transition between whatever I'm doing, whether its going from work to my kids' volleyball practice or out on a date.

I am short, 5'5" and I wear flat shoes because they feel good on my feet. I used to wear corporate heels everyday and even through my pregnancy with my daughter. Now my life is in the season of enjoying flat shoes, there’s something so grounded in having a comfortable flat.

This is my go to wardrobe for spring and summer-- beach, summer parties, wellness practice, reiki, yoga...easy to wear things that I use daily.

I like to make my own hibachi recipes because then I control the ingredients and the portion size.

I discovered mushrooms on my health journey for healing my thyroid. I was amazed how it helped clear my skin, gave me more energy than coffee without the crash, and had all the nutrients I needed to support my auto immune disease.

With having hypothyroidism, I felt like no matter what I did, I couldn't lose weight. I have taken synthroid all my life. When I started working with Dr. Heather Stone's method, the weight fell off and it stayed off because I addressed the root issue. When I realized the root issue was blood sugar and glucose levels not my thyroid, it was much easier to modify my diet. My hair started growing and thickening and my body responded.

My 10 year old daughter loves all think pink, slime, mystery boxes, facials, squishmallows, and arts and crafts!

My daughter's first mystery box pick was a slime mystery box that she found on Etsy. She just loves to track the shipping and check the mail for her surprise!

With the Great Discovery, I can use all of their different AI tools to create a seemless presentation and learning courses to promote my business. This has been a game changer in my business!

For your entertainment, I found not only merch but places you can visit that support the Big Foot mission.

Can I put my thumbprint in every piece of chocolate?
