One of the things I have in common with my husband is our love of eating out. I prefer to eat at non-chain restaurants. Don't get me wrong I love Outback's cheese fries, but I love eating at local restaurants. This weekend it was the White Horse Inn in Metamora.... Continue reading

Let's Swim

Lucy's moment on the big stage. It's amazing to me that at 10 years old she is able to have laser focus on her goals. In my mind she is still a little girl, but to watch the strength she has as she explodes from the blocks wakes me up... Continue reading

Room Redo

I had possibly the ugliest bedroom in the world, and had had it for 10 years. This year I finally decided to tackle it. At first I thought of painting my room beige, but while I was in Lowes I was feeling like light grey. Unable to decide I asked... Continue reading

Hitting the Lottery

I saw this on Pinterest and it really struck a chord with me. I love how five simple sentences can change your perspective. These words make me realize that I have hit the lottery in life. I have food in my fridge, the people that I love are healthy, I... Continue reading

Spontaneity

This passed weekend I learned just how awesome it can be when you let a whim take you in a different direction. Me and my younger daughters had to take a road trip from Michigan to Columbus, Ohio. It is only about a 5 hour drive, but 4 hours of... Continue reading

I admit it. I neglected my blog for the last two months, but I have an excuse, my life and home have been undergoing remodeling. Beginning the first week of February I decided it was time to battle what was probably the ugliest bathroom in our county. This also eventually... Continue reading

This is always one of our stops in Chicago, the smell alone is incredible. We each pick out our favorites and stock up for the ride home. But, I am addicted to peanut butter cups, and spend each night at the hotel eating them, so they never quite make it... Continue reading

There has been a lot of hype over this book, and I was a little surprised by it. I read an excerpt of it in the WSJ, and was intrigued, so I preordered it from Amazon. When it came I sat and read the entire book that evening. At the... Continue reading
