What’s new on my bookshelf.

March 9, 2016 · 9 Comments
Filed Under: books, for fun

I’ve always been a big fan of reading. As a child it felt like a fun way to learn new about new topics, and as an adult it’s a really genius way to pull myself away from the daily minutia. And, it gives Zack and I something interesting to talk about besides the kids and… [Read More]

When your weekend feels like this…

March 7, 2016 · 16 Comments
Filed Under: family, for fun

This past weekend felt like a wonderful, constant, giant, HOORAY! On Saturday morning, Rebecca and I co-hosted a Detroit metro meetup, and we had such a great group of gals join us! :) It was wonderful to gather with so many, and would you believe we chatted for over three hours? As the snow fell… [Read More]

Life around here.

March 4, 2016 · 9 Comments
Filed Under: Detroit, family, for fun, lifestyle

It’s time for us to catch up! :) January and February went by equally fast (so much excitement over living in Michigan again) and slow (missing Zack so, so terribly while he was finishing work in California), and suddenly we’ve welcomed March into our lives. Shortly after Zack arrived in Detroit (Feb. 20) our entire… [Read More]

Our 2016 Valentine’s Day cards!

February 19, 2016 · 8 Comments
Filed Under: craft project, holidays, Maxwell, Natalie

The last two years we’ve ordered Valentine’s Day cards of the kids (see our 2014 card with just Maxwell HERE and our 2015 card with Maxwell & Natalie HERE). But now that the kids are officially toddlers, I thought it would be really fun to make our own cards this year. While scrolling Instagram, I… [Read More]

10 things I love // vol. 9

February 17, 2016 · 27 Comments
Filed Under: 10 things I love, giveaway, Natalie

It’s late in the evening as I type this, and the quiet of the evening is settling in around me nicely. The furnace is bringing warm air into each room, Bauer is taking his 37th nap for the day, and my mind is re-playing some of the silly things the kids have done or said… [Read More]

On feeling weary (but finding solutions).

February 11, 2016 · 16 Comments
Filed Under: Detroit, for fun, inspiration, our home

Zack is still working in Los Angeles, while the kids and I are in Detroit, and most days I feel like I handle life just fine. (I do have a big “all the details about our move back to Michigan” blog post typed (and I will publish it soon), but helloooooooo, I’m one gal trying… [Read More]

Our first week in our new house!

February 8, 2016 · 10 Comments
Filed Under: Detroit, for fun, our home

Yesterday I had a few house-y goals I wanted to accomplish, so I made a little mental list of things I knew I could finish, and then I took the first step forward. And would you believe I got everything done that I wanted to? We have been taking it a bit easy around here…. [Read More]

Having something to look forward to.

February 4, 2016 · 16 Comments
Filed Under: for fun, inspiration, mamahood

The idea of “having something to look forward to” crossed my mind the other day. We have had some really beautiful weather in Michigan, which is totally abnormal for this time of year. I should be making tea every night and gathering all of my oven recipes to help our family stay warm. Instead, we are… [Read More]

10 things I love // vol. 8

Filed Under: 10 things I love

A heartwarming list of “things I love and don’t want to forget” this January: 1. if you ask Natalie, “what’s your name?” she puts her hands to her chest and while grinning says, “Nani”. And we can not (seriously, can not) get enough 2. red checkered tablecloths. The festive pop of color with the yard-covered… [Read More]
