This weekend only, Seven Ages Theatricals presents Shakespeare’s “Much Ado About Nothing” At City Green in Downtown Sheboygan, and I had the honor of attending the dress rehearsal to get a sneak peak at the show ahead of time so I can share about it on my blog!

For my 50th blog post, I wanted to thank everyone who have supported my blog over the past year by I am kicking off the start of the fall season by revealing a new promotion going live this week so that you and your family can come visit Sheboygan this autumn and experience all the places and businesses I recommend yourself!

It’s one of the biggest weeks of the summer at Blue Harbor Resort in Sheboygan, Wisconsin: Powerboat Racing! Welcoming the powerboat races back to the shores of Lake Michigan for a second year, the Sheboygan Midwest Challenge is the event of the summer and there’s plenty of festivity packed into this weekend. With competitors flocking to our very own Malibu of the Midwest from around the globe, both racers, watersport enthusiasts, families, and thrill seekers are sure to enjoy this exciting weekend of competition taking place on the waves of Lake Michigan.

Growing up, I was obsessed with fairytales, magic, medieval times, and mythical creatures. I remember one summer, my parents took my little sister and I to a fairy festival somewhere in Wisconsin in the woods. We got to dress up in our fairy costumes, build fairy houses in a contest, get our faces painted, and listen to stories being read to us by a grown-up fairy under a canopy of pine trees. I’ll never forget how special going to this festival was, and although I may be in my 20’s now, when I learned that the Bookworm Gardens was hosting a Fairy Folk Festival for a fairy-themed week this summer, I was filled with excitement.

Summer means many things to me: happiness, sunshine, spending as much time outdoors as possible, picnics in parks, long days at the beach reading under the sun and splashing in the waves, ice cream and iced coffees, pasta salads and watermelon, watching sunsets and going on evening walks through neighborhoods, outdoor dining, and live music. Live music is a distinctly summer-coded activity to me, I adore everything about it. I grew up in a very musical family, and going to see live music outdoors is something I’ve done every summer.  Here are five places to find live music throughout summer in Sheboygan!

When we close our eyes and dream about our upcoming vacation, we see ourselves happy and excited, trying new things, visiting new and unique places, maybe even stepping out of our comfort zones a bit. You probably envision yourself relaxing a bit whether that is by sitting back and kicking up your feet, or engaging in activities that keep you up and moving, sight-seeing and keeping yourself enthralled in your new surroundings. While I hope that your vacation is all you dream it to be, there are a couple of necessities you will want to be aware of before you arrive at your destination. Although these things are not very exciting, trust me, you will be better off knowing them before you go on your vacation so that you’re prepared if/when the need arises.

Not only is Blue Harbor Resort located on Lake Michigan, but it is sandwiched between the great lake and the Sheboygan River. This is a kayakers dream, and something you should know about me is I LOVE to kayak! I've been kayaking since I was 8 years old, so when I heard there was a new kayaking outfitter in town, I had to get out on the water with them. This is the tale of Emagine Sheboygan and the Wandering Kayaker: what to expect and my experience. 

If I haven’t ever shared this in a blog before, I’m a huge bookworm. I love to read, I love literature, I love writing, talking about books, and adding to my TBR list. On top of all this, I am always on the hunt for bookish sightseeing, activities, and places to visit. I love visiting bookstores and libraries, but also destinations that are inspired by literature, or the opposite way around, places that inspired literature. For example, when I visited London, two of the first places I visited were 221B Baker Street and the famous Daunt Bookstore. With that being said, you may not be surprised about the amount of bookish places to visit in London, but you might be surprised by the amount in Sheboygan.
