The Lake Country Mom The Lake Country Mom / Wisconsin / all things local Hi! I am Rachel, founder here at The Lake Country Mom. A hyper-local blog based in southeast WI.

We live in the heart of the lake country area in Wisconsin. It is such an amazing place to live and raise your children. The beauty of the lakes, trails, rivers, parks astonish me daily. The community is full of hometown pride. Each little town and city that make up all of lake country is proud to be a part of it. In the past several years, especially after becoming a mom, finding the farmers mark

ets, attending grand openings, trying new restaurants, shopping at the newest local businesses, trying new services for my family-overall, sharing my experiences with each of them.

🎆 Quick Tips for a Stellar Southeast Wisconsin 4th of July!

🧺 Pack Smart
• Bring blankets or low lawn chairs for fireworks viewing.
• Don’t forget bug spray, sunscreen, and refillable water bottles—hydration is key!

🚗 Arrive Early & Plan Parking
• Lots and street parking fill up fast near parade and fireworks spots—arrive 1–2 hours early.
• In some towns, bikes or golf carts are great alternatives. Check the rules!

🍦 Cool Off the Wisconsin Way
• Grab a icecream or frozen custard before the fireworks.
• Splash pads in places like Hartland, Sussex, or Elm Grove are great for daytime fun.

🎺 Catch the Local Flavors
• Many parades feature local marching bands, vintage tractors, and candy-launching!
• Watch for food trucks, brat stands, and church bake sales at festivals—Wisconsin-style eats galore!

🎇 Firework Pro-Tip
• Lakefront locations offer gorgeous firework reflections.

🧨 Safety First
• Sparklers are legal, but anything that goes boom or flies is usually not. Know your local fireworks laws.
• Keep a bucket of water nearby for sparkler safety if celebrating at home.

👕 Dress the Part
• Local boutiques often sell Wisconsin-themed patriotic shirts—support small businesses and look festive!
• Many towns have 4th of July fun runs or parades —bring out the red, white, and blue!

🚻 Know Your Amenities
• Check ahead for restroom locations, especially in parks and lakeside areas.

Have fun & be safe! 🇺🇸

😂 Brilliant?

Saw this in Waukesha this morning. Outstanding. You should be able to put your dogs in there and push buttons for wash, rinse and mega dry. They come out a huge fluff ball. Hahaha!

Do you think they would mind if I went in there for a quick shower between baseball games? Hahaha
