Brewers game

Currently one of the local grocery store chains is offering a Milwaukee Brewers tickets promotion. I don't ever mind sitting in the cheap seats, especially when the tickets are free! Jake and I were fortunate enough to see a win on Monday night, which is no guarantee when the team has a 12-21 record.

Delay to review a play.

The famous sausage race. This game was pretty engaging with lots of hits and scoring, including multiple home runs. However, sometimes the sausage race is definitely more exciting. The Polish sausage was the clear winner at this game.

How's your baseball team doing this year?

Doctor's Park in the spring

Doctor's Park is one of the most beautiful spots in Milwaukee. I don't know how I've only featured it on the blog once before. One of Jake's fellow residents bought his first DSLR this winter. He's moving to Montana in a couple months for a job, and Jake and I have been taking him to some of my favorite places to take pictures in Milwaukee before he moves. We visited Doctor's Park a couple weeks ago.

How is spring going your way? Is anyone else excited to see lots of green?

summer memories

Thing #1,428 that I don't want to admit to anyone: I'm still editing pictures from summer 2014. Remember how one of my unofficial goals this year was to edit as many 2014 pictures as possible by spring 2015? Here we are in the first week of May and I'm still going through 2014 pictures. However, I've made a lot of progress AND am doing well with the second part of the goal, which is to stay ahead on 2015 editing.

Anyway, going through summer pictures makes me so excited about summer. I know that fall is the trendy season right now, but seriously nothing makes me happier than spring and summer. Today I'm sharing a little batch of black and white edits from one of my favorite nights of summer 2014. Enjoy.

What are you looking forward to this summer?

Pinterest picks

Welcome to another edition of Pinterest picks! Here are just a few of the things that I've been enjoying on Pinterest lately.

 Because this guy reminds me of my Apollo. Also, kitty paws (!!) and little orange kitties make my day better.

I finally started a Turquoise and Red inspiration board. I'm not even into anything vintage or camper related, but this camper is too adorable.

The whole kraft wrapping paper thing is way out of control. So many fabulous ideas.

I'm sort of afraid to make this sandwich because I might not eat anything else ever again.

 Lately for a change of pace I've been browsing sketchbook pages for creative inspiration.

Super adorable little petals. It doesn't hurt that they involve buttons and pink and green.

More ridiculous food photography pinning from a non-food blogger.

Finally, this past month I've been making over my entire Pinterest account. Such an improvement, right? I've been cleaning up long abandoned boards, consolidating and renaming lots of smaller boards, deleting pins that are no longer of interest, and generally making things more organized. Hopefully it'll make the content that is still there more accessible.

What have you been pinning lately? Feel free to share links in the comments!

a short trip to Racine

Of course it wouldn't be a trip to Racine without a stop for kringle. I went to O&H for this kringle. You can read more about kringle and its history in Racine over here.

Where have you been taking pictures lately?
