Gilda’s Club of Southeastern Wisconsin is having their popular family event “Woof n Hoof” this Saturday, August 7th from 8:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m.

A very good friend of mine as been involved with this for the past couple of years and raves about how fun it is for your whole family and your dog!

The course gives walkers the option of a 1 or 2.5 mile that starts at Atwater Elementary School on Capital Drive in Shorewood.

And unfortunately Gilda’s Clubhouse in Shorewood did suffer some damage from the Brew City Flood; therefore, some funds, in part, will help restore their lower level.

I hope to see you there!

*Gilda’s Club of Southeastern Wisconsin’s mission is to provide a welcoming support community for those affected by cancer.

A mom has added a page to her website in hopes of finding a date for her 31-year-old single son.  He loves the idea and now other moms can use the website to help their kids find love.

Is this going too far?

This poor bride didn’t need to worry about getting cold feet; her problem was that she got all wet! The best man tripped and toppled the beaming bride into a pool.

Has something like this ever happened to you?

Well, my husband Aaron attempted to refinish our hardwoods floors (he’s never done this before).  And I have to tell you, he was a natural.  Above is how the floors looked right after they were sanded before he was able to do the edge sanding.

Here’s the mineral spirits drying on the floors.

Here comes the stain!

It took 3 days, but WOW, do they look nice. (Did you notice our feet – Aaron’s shoes kept breaking through the booties, so he taped his undershirts to his tennis shoes!)

Oh, and the window is splattered with “knock down” – the replacement windows go in next!

With the help of our listeners we compiled a list of the top five things to do and NOT to do on a family road trip:

1. Do bring your patience
2. Do bring snacks
3. Do make sure your kids have lots to do
4. Don’t be a backseat driver
5. Do splurge and buy a GPS

If you have any suggestions of what your rules are on your family road trips – feel free to leave a comment here. Happy driving!

I’m finishing up the remodel on this beautiful dream kitchen with Kaerek Homes in West Allis for the upcoming MBA Parade of Homes Tour.

Is it true when they say good lighting can really add the perfect touch to a room?

Of course we’ll have standard lighting on the ceiling, but what about lighting under the cabinets or even INSIDE a few cabinets, perhaps with a glass door?

I’d love to hear your ideas.  What have you used in your kitchen, or better yet, what would you like to have in the kitchen of your dreams?

And don’t forget you can check out the kitchen when it’s finished in the upcoming MBA Parade of Homes Tour August 21st - September 12th in Oak Creek.

What is your preference when it comes to a stove  - gas or electric? Does one cook better, which type of stove is easier to clean?

I’m in the final stages of designing a dream kitchen with Kaerek Homes in West Allis for their upcoming MBA Parade of Homes Tour.

So far, your suggestions on countertops, lighting, flooring and cabinets has been extremely helpful. Now the little things (like which stove most people prefer) has been overlooked, but is just as important as everything else when it comes to this remodel.

Let me know by leaving a comment here – if you could have your dream kitchen, what type of stove would you want?

Don’t forget you can see the finished kitchen during the MBA Parade of Homes Tour, August 21st – September 12th in Oak Creek.
