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
Sunday Funday: Outpost Grill in Allen Michigan
Today has not started off on the right foot. Kenzie had a friend stay the night, and they thought it would be a good idea to get some fresh air at 5am. They were in and out, had the dogs barking and the entire house awake before dawn. Hormones plus the lack of sleep lead … Continue reading Sunday Funday: Outpost Grill in Allen Michigan
The View from My Back Porch
I somehow missed the fall. It’s normally my favorite time of year. Time just got away from me I guess. All the leaves are brown, or they’ve blown away. At least I have my coffee and the promise of a new. Enjoy your week. Kristie
Sunday Funday: Allen Antique Barn
Today was such a nice day. We decided to get back to our Sunday exploration adventures. Hannah has been begging for a tea pot, so we headed to the Allen Antique Barn. I have never been here before, but I loved all the festive displays. They even had treats set out to enjoy while we … Continue reading Sunday Funday: Allen Antique Barn
Wicked Pickens
Yesterday, the girls and I went to the Monroe County Fair Grounds to attend the Vintage Market’s Wicked Pickens event. It’s basically a giant flea market with a Halloween theme. We met Jack Skellington and Sally from a Nightmare before Christmas. This is HUGE, because that is Kenzie’s favorite movie. I don’t think she could … Continue reading Wicked Pickens
Color Change
One of my favorite things about autumn in Michigan is the changing colors of the leaves. I love all the oranges, yellows and reds against a clear blue sky. The weather is not cooperating her though. I went outside on this lovely 65 degree day and struggled to find any changing leaves. The saplings have … Continue reading Color Change
Sunday Funday: K’s Acres Orchard
Hello Lovelies. I hope you are having a great weekend. I feel like I am the queen of bummer adventures. Today we were hoping to go pick apples and pears, but instead found only a fruit stand. When I got home, I double checked their Facebook page, and it does still say u-pick. The owner … Continue reading Sunday Funday: K’s Acres Orchard
