We were lucky enough to have been invited to check it out by the MAM and had lots of fun kicking off vacation ...

“In My Shoes” Art Exhibit Visits Milwaukee in April

Art is human emotion in a physical form. I still remember when my grade school art teacher said this in response to being grilled by one of my classmates about what art really is.

Five Things You NEED to Have When You Are Sick

This flu season is just going on and on this year. I was down for the count a few weeks ago and I honestly don't remember the last time I caught something that made me feel THAT bad.

As a teacher, it always pained me to see students stress out about the yearly tests they were ...
