Cool bike camp for kids
Last week, OnMilwaukee.com published a guide to day camps, and here’s one more that sounds pretty good. Bike Kids Wisconsin is a week-long biking camp for middle school-aged kids in Milwaukee.Â
The sessions run from June 13 to Aug. 22. The cost is $350 per week or $650 for two kids. Although this is about $100-150 pricier than other summer day camps, the amount of time spent at camp each day is longer, from 7:30 a.m. to 5 or 5:30 p.m. (Many other day camps run from about 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. and require an extra charge for before and / or after care.)
The camp offers bike instruction, bike repair lessons and long bike rides every day to an educational and fun destination.
"Each day we bike to a different activity: rock climbing, Discovery World, Milwaukee River Boat Tour, Growing Power Urban Farm tour and a day at the beach," says counselor / bike instructor Erin Clapper. "After the activity and lunch we head back to Glendale."

Something like this would have been great when I was a kid. My friends and I used to ride to the city pool all the time. Having more creative options, like rock climbing, would have been even cooler.

Does fashion have to change in middle age?
Published May 19, 2013
Just because a woman turns 35 or 38 or 40 doesn't mean her wardrobe has to become a wasteland of frump and "mom jeans." Especially these days, when 40 is supposedly the new 30. But are there fashion dos and don'ts for middle-aged women?

What's with H&M's sizing?
Published May 16, 2013
Ninety-eight percent of my wardrobe is a size 6, and so, naturally, that's the size I grabbed at H&M. However, I could barely pull the pants above my knees. So I got an 8. Better, but still too small.
Dretzka's Department Store depresses, delights
