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

Theme Night: Taco Fiesta
I haven’t cooked since Monday night, because I’ve been sick. Are you tired of hearing that yet? I had planned to post this the next day, for Taco Tuesday, but I didn’t feel like writing that night. Let me walk you through the clutter. Hannah made the cutest centerpiece with a muffin tin as a … Continue reading Theme Night: Taco Fiesta
Eighteen Moons
Blogging has been an amazing creative outlet for me. It has allowed me to explore the hobbies I love, and validated my voice within the world. It has also introduced me to a few people whom I am blessed to call friends; people I would happily go out for fruity drinks with, or hang out … Continue reading Eighteen Moons
Snow Day # 1
The predicted snow actually fell here in Michigan. It started as rain, so the snow is heavy, wet and kind of just gross. Since we will be getting a 2nd snow day tomorrow, we spent today inside. We painted rocks with our new acrylic paint markers. We snuggled on the couch and watched the new … Continue reading Snow Day # 1
Meckley’s Sunshine Sunflower Patch
Today we crossed something else off our summer bucket list, picking sunflowers. Of course we picked the best time to go. Doesn't everyone want to race a thunderstorm? We took pictures of the decorated haybales. Hannah became a little camera bug. And I got bunches of sister pictures. Of course the best thing was just … Continue reading Meckley’s Sunshine Sunflower Patch

While recovering, I did a little bit of reading and a lot of binge watching. I watched 2 seasons of License to Kill, Peacock’s Dr Death and am working my way through Expedition … Continue reading Goodbye July
Teach a Girl to Fish
One of the best things about our camping trip was the opportunity for Daddy Daughter time. I have an entire album of pictures of these two together. They make my heart smile. I took these on one of the decks along the Pere Marquette River. They only caught a couple of pike that they threw … Continue reading Teach a Girl to Fish
Star Puzzle
Last week Amazon hosted their Prime Day sale. I looked through the deals, but the only thing that jumped out at me was a Puzzle. I haven’t done a puzzle in years, but this one has my favorite colors and a starry sky, so I thought, “Why not.” 🤷♀️ It wasn’t until I started crying … Continue reading Star Puzzle
Tuesday’s Trail: MacCready Yellow Trail
It was cooler than normal, but that means it was a great day for hike. We started with the shortest trail, and were not disappointed. Yellow Trail Daddy teaching about bugs. Nice, clear paths. Selfie time!!! Proof Mommy hikes too. I figure we will have 3 more hikes here. The goal is to slowly build … Continue reading Tuesday’s Trail: MacCready Yellow Trail
Happiness List #52: A Year in Review
Today’s post is a little bittersweet. On the one hand I have accomplished something, created 52 happiness lists, but on the other hand I am sad that there are no more writing prints to share. Normal people start the journal in January, stick to the weekly schedule and finish at the end of the year. … Continue reading Happiness List #52: A Year in Review
