Family Adventure Challenge

Last month when my mother in law passed, I was super sad, but also thankful. I was happy she was at peace and that we had created so many memories in the five years that she lived with us. In her final wishes, she didn’t want a funeral or celebration of life. So I created … Continue reading Family Adventure Challenge →

127 Brewing

With the holidays firmly behind us, Rob and I are finally able to be spontaneous again. Last weekend, we actually went on a date to 127 Brewing. It was dark, so I didn’t get a picture of the outside of the bar. Instead I snapped a picture of our flight of beers. I learned that … Continue reading 127 Brewing →

Weekend Wanderings: Lake Diane

I am not a fan of winter. I know that’s an odd thing to say since I live in Michigan, but it’s the truth. I hate the dreary, gray sky. I hate shoveling snow, and being outside in the cold. I had to fight my urge to remain snuggled up on the couch by the … Continue reading Weekend Wanderings: Lake Diane →

Hog Creek Mall

Happy New Year! I feel like I am starting the New Year off right with a new blog post. Even better, it’s an adventure post! It’s rather wet outside, so we decided to take an adventure to somewhere indoors. The Hog Creek Antique Mall in Allen, Michigan was the perfect escape. Hannah was on the … Continue reading Hog Creek Mall →

The Return of Tony: Our Reindeer in Here

Happiest Holidays, Lovelies! I hope you had a lovely Thanksgiving. We spent the day at my mom’s and then went to see Christmas lights. Then when we got home, Hannah’s reindeer Tony had arrived. We don’t do an elf on the shelf, because that lift guy creeps me out and is a lot of work … Continue reading The Return of Tony: Our Reindeer in Here →

Halloween at Arrowhead Lakes

Sorry friends, but I am writing my posts a couple days behind reality. All of these events will repeat this upcoming week though at Arrowhead Lakes Resort. The busiest happens on Saturday though. The day started with a chili cookoff. I doomed myself before I started by bringing a Michigan Crockpot to a competition in … Continue reading Halloween at Arrowhead Lakes →

Halloween Carnival

Do you remember elementary school carnivals in the’80s? Each classroom used to be converted into a different game. You could win anything from a goldfish to a cake, and everything in between. That’s the memory that flooded my brain when I took my daughter to the campground’s Halloween carnival. Hannah started with crafts. With Daddy’s … Continue reading Halloween Carnival →

Camp Decor

We finally got around to decorating our site for Halloween. I bought a new mat at ALDI. Our minion is also new this year. Hannah thought he needed to pet our skeleton cat. Our phantom rider is an old favorite. Obviously we needed pets to guard our camp. Although they don’t seem to keep the … Continue reading Camp Decor →

What a Day

I love having Hannah down here with us, but I would be lying it I didn’t admit to missing lounging in bed and relaxing a little bit as well. We woke up this morning and hit the ground running . First stop was BIGGBY. I was craving frozen caramel apple cider. Hannah is addicted to … Continue reading What a Day →
