Living The Dream in the Mad-Town
Now that the holidays are over, we are left to some how get through the rest of winter. What better way then a spa day with your little one? Back in November, Mamas Gone Madison were invited to attend a grand opening of a new kids spa, Scoops Kids Salon, in the Hilldale Mall. Michelle [...]
Have you ever heard of the Little Free Library? I was driving down Old Sauk Road awhile back and noticed a cute little wooden bird/tree house in someone’s front yard and next to it was a little bench. As I looked inside I noticed it was filled with books. It appeared that you could take [...]

I have just the place for you – Flambé Gourmet. Flambé Gourmet is an upscale catering business on Madison’s near east side [...]
The other night myself and a couple of girlfriends went for dinner and drinks at the new Food Fight Restaurant in Middleton called craftsman table & craft. It’s a very family friendly restaurant and also very popular. At 5:30 on a Wednesday night it was crowded and we had to wait about 20 minutes for our [...]

Dear Madison – I thought you had given up on that look but look I am grateful that you are coming back around to the classic look of winter. Although I enjoyed your summer look on Wednesday – it was not suitable to my mid winter’s muffin top. I prefer many more layers and not [...]
I have been arranging holiday parties for the various companies I have worked (and also ones that I have not worked) for approximately the last 9 years, and it is starting to get stressful coming up with new ideas each year. This year, I did not have to look far. My office is located in [...]
