I've been writing this blog for more than five years now and have totally enjoyed doing it. When I first began, it was a way to share the fun I was having with my youngest son, Omar, who was born with Down Syndrome. It led to a book, 101 Things to do in Milwaukee Parks, published in 2014, and kicked off a writing career that led to 18 more books and still counting. You can see more at my Amazon author page.
Now Omar is nearly a teenager, and though he still heads to the parks with me once in awhile, we don't do it as often as we used to. Even my grandkids are in school full time now.
Milwaukee County Parks hired a few new employees who manage social media, and with the excellent job being done, I find there really isn't a need for this blog anymore. You can sign up for the e-newsletter or check their website for events in county parks. Articles about the outdoors and events are posted regularly at the Milwaukee Parks Facebook site.
Since I started this blog, Miltown Moms has also taken on a full time presence in the community, where you can also find events and fun in the parks.
So now I say good-bye and thanks for reading! The posts will still be archived and available to searches, in case you're looking for something specific. You can follow me at my Facebook page to stay posted on our next big adventure.
