Living The Dream in the Mad-Town
Hello! My name is Angie and I’m a transplant to the land of beer and cheese. I moved here to Madison in 2004 from Nebraska, via some short stints in Chicago and New York. I’ve been blogging since 2002, married since 2005 and a mommy since 2009. I love media, technology and innovation. I wear my geek badge proudly. I like to blog about family tech, DIY, and travel. Personally, I spend most of my time working full time in learning and development for a national non-profit, chasing around my toddler, or trying to dive deeper into my Pilates practice. I also write over here if you are interested.

I’m not greedy. In fact, I would much rather give a gift then receive a gift. That being said, when I’m put on the spot and someone asks me what I would like for Christmas or Mothers Day or something…I cannot think of a thing. Likewise when I try to buy a gift for my [...]

I was talking to a fellow mom at my son’s school about what it is like to be a stay at home mom now that she was laid off from her job. She said it is so much work and the part she gets the most anxious about is feeding her kids. Every day is [...]

Now the number I have actually tried is MUCH less than that, but at least I have been inspired. Pinterest [...]

So we have made it through three months of a newborn once again being in the house. Even with all the stuff we have from Cameron that we just “had to have”, I’m finding that less is more is so much better when it comes to the second child. Here are a few of the [...]
Is is that time! We are finally hitting temps that are above freezing, we are getting a glimpse of what the land below the snow looks like, and the college kids are in shorts. It is spring! We thought it would never come, but mother nature is finally giving us a break! Let’s throw [...]
