What is a blog?  For us it is a short blurb that we write when the mood strikes us.  It can be first person, funny or informative. In short, a blog is whatever we want it to be. Published Nov. 19, 2008 at 10:13 a.m.

Besides food and writing, one of my other huge passions is Bay View, and with the holidays upon us, I thought it was a great time to share just a few ideas to get you started shopping locally-owned businesses for the holidays:

1) Chocolates, Webkinz and all kinds of delectable goodies at Franklin's Fine Chocolates, 2474 S. Kinnickinnic Ave.

2) Wine and wine accessories from Dee's Wine Stop, 2327 S. Kinnickinnic Ave.

3) Massage / spa gift certificates at Hairy's Hair Bar, 2385 S. Kinnickinnic Ave. or massage / acupuncture gift certificates at Apple A Day Massage, 437 E. Lincoln Ave.

4) Dog grooming gift certificates at Embark Pet Spa, 1208 E. Oklahoma Ave.

5) Ice cream, custard, or cakes from Babe's Ice Cream, 2264 S. Kinnickinnic Ave. or Bella's Fat Cat, 2737 S. Kinnickinnic Ave.

6) Music and videos from Rush-Mor Records, 2635 S. Kinnickinnic Ave.

7) Family Photographs at Front Room Photography, 2637 S. Kinnickinnic Ave.

8) Bay View-Centric items at the Bay View Historical Society Gift Shop, 2590 S. Superior St.

9) Party trays at G. Groppi Food Market, 1441 E. Russell Ave.

10) Vintage clothes, accessories, and jewelry at Luv Unlimited, 2649 S. Kinnickinnic Ave.

11) Free Trade items at Sweeney Todd Salon & Fair Trade World Bazaar, 2999 S. Delaware Ave.

12) A really cool T-shirt at the Palomino, 2491 S. Superior Ave.

13) 40 percent off books at Broad Vocabulary, 2241 S. Kinnickinnic Ave., (due to their unfortunate going out of business sale)

14) A nativity set or Irish items at T.H. Stemper Quality Church Supplies, 1125 E. Potter Ave.

15) Tickets to travel to Michigan on the Lake Express Ferry, 2330 S. Lincoln Memorial Dr.

What about a big fat 5# bag of coffee or a gift certificate from Stone Creek Coffee?

Feels like other parts of Bayview and KK have been neglected! Sheesh!!! Gift certificates to a play at the Boulevard Theater Get your violin repaired (or the gift of music) at Korinthian Violins A gift certificate to Salon Thor (a hair salon on KK-near the corner of KK and Oklahoma). Wonderful service and fantastic prices! A pound of coffee from Anodyne (or Sven's) Gift certificates to Classic Slice and Tenuta's Trial membership at the Shape Up Shoppe or Brickyard Gym to work off all that pie....
