October 20, 2020 Remember last week when I told you about additional funding for Wisconsin’s We’re All In grant program? Apologies if you do, but I am a mom, so I am very used to saying things at least twice. At a minimum. But I will try not to raise my voice, and I definitely […]
October 15, 2020 I am sorry that I have been inundating you with information lately, but things are changing faster than summer is turning to fall (I am SO not ready for this!). If you have been following the news (or if you get my newsletter, follow me on Instagram, or like my Facebook page), […]
October 12, 2020 It feels like way too long since I have started a blog this way, but I finally get to say, “Here’s some good news!” For those who live in the cheese state anyway. Last week Governor Evers announced an additional $109 million in grants for Wisconsin small businesses who have been hurt […]
October 7, 2020 Governor Evers signed Emergency Order #3 on October 6th, which limits all Wisconsin indoor “public gatherings” (e.g. any indoor place open to the public) to 25% capacity. If the location doesn’t have a government created capacity (e.g. a personal residence) then the limit indoors is ten people (that are not of the […]
October 5, 2020 Today I am coming atcha with a recipe. Wait! Before you roll your eyes and close this tab, I promise I won’t give you the history of where I first learned about it and when I first made it and who was across the street on their front porch speculating about the […]
September 28, 2020 Dunno how you guys feel, but I feel like 2020 has been a lot like Groundhog Day. The movie. Without Bill Murray cracking jokes. Lest you think next week was going to be a little different, at least on the mask front, I am here to tell you (though I am sure […]
September 21, 2020 Early last month, a federal court in New York invalidated a handful of regulatory provisions interpreting the FFCRA (if you need a quick refresher, check out this blog I wrote in August). I have been keeping an eye on this so I could let you all know how, if at all, this […]
September 14, 2020 Well, as promised, Congress voted on a new pandemic relief bill this week. And, as expected, it failed to pass. The bill included more money for small business loans, funding for schools and the Postal Service, scaled-back unemployment benefits, and liability lawsuit protections for schools, businesses, and healthcare providers. Democrats felt it […]
September 8, 2020 In some ways the last few months have felt like a vacation: someone is always telling me that they are bored and I honestly have no idea what day of the week it is. That last part is more because I haven’t left the house in what seems like forever, not because […]
August 31, 2020 As a mom, I spend a fair amount of time gently reminding my kids to do things that they don’t want to do: clean their rooms, eat their vegetables, do their homework. I am constantly telling them not to procrastinate, do it now and it will be done. I try to apply […]
