Essentials for dog friendly hikes 🥾
Kona and I go on a lot of adventures and I always try to be prepared for whatever may come our way!

🗑️Poop Bags - this should be obvious but definitely an essential
💦Water bottle / Bowl - I use a combination of the two and it works wonderfully
⛑️ Pet First Aid Kit - you can never be too prepared
🪢 Harness - I’ve tried a lot of different options when it comes to harnesses/leashes. The one we have now has worked the best!
🍖 Extra Food - depending on the length of the hike I may throw some extra pup food in my backpack

📣ATTENTION PLEASE
If you’ve been here awhile, you know I’ve been on the hunt to find the best breakfast sandwich in Milwaukee. That’s turned into ordering breakfast sandwiches wherever I go 😅

My pal Julia of suggested that I create a master list with a downloadable Google Map … so I did!

https://www.wisconsincheeseplease.com/product-page/breakfast-sandwich-map

Each pin includes a location, sandwich photo, description, and website of the restaurant. There are currently 26 locations but the map will be updated in real time as more sandwiches are consumed.

To download, click on “shop”. You will see the map to add to your cart - it is free! And comes with instructions on how to save it for later.

If you’re not interested in the map, I’ve also combined all of the sandwiches into one giant list that will also be updated as needed.

Will I be doing this for cheese curds? Yes. But the curd list has 200+ locations on it so that’s going to take a bit 🙃 in the meantime, there is an interactive curd map and list on my website.

last minute change of plans: Kona and I are heading to Colorado!
Any recommendations between Cheyenne, WY and Breckenridge, CO would be very helpful!

Places to visit in South Dakota - Part 1

We spent the last few weeks exploring the beautiful state of South Dakota. Here are a few of our favorite places:

🥾 Palisades State Park - absolutely gorgeous views of Sioux quartzite!

🌳 Devil’s Gulch - this was a happy accident. Such a fun place to hike and explore.

🗻 Badlands Boondocking - although we didn’t go into the park (I’ve been there already & it’s not very dog friendly) we stayed right outside for an entire week and.. the views!

🐟 Lake Vermillion Recreation Area - one of my favorite campsites so far. So many fish jumping in the water!

Check out more details in the blog!

no matter where I am on the road, Milwaukee is home.
launched their new logo today and I am so proud to be an ambassador!

the new logo represents SO many things including our rivers, our diversity, our culinary scene, and our togetherness. It is a beautiful, all-encompassing representation of the city we call home. Cheers! 🍻

I bought my house when I was 27 years old and intended for it to be my “five year plan”. Next week will mark the end of year 7… but we won’t hit that anniversary because it’s sold! We’re going back on the road 🚐

It feels very scary to not “have a home”. And although I feel a little guilty taking “home” away from my pets, I’m excited for our next adventures.

We’re heading down to North Carolina - keep following to see where we end up next!
