Mackinaw Road Monday: Mother’s Day Gift Guide
Hi there! Well… April is almost over. It only felt like it lasted 3 years- lol! Oh, and it’s not Monday. But, as has become my mantra lately… close enough. I don’t have 3 ingredients for this dish? Close enough. We have been slowly getting in the swing of things. We love a good birthday parade. Online school is still challenging but fine. The sun came back- yay! Our Stay at Home order was extended until May 15 in Michigan, so we will have to get creative with wishing our moms a Happy Mother’s Day, but I am so grateful that I get to be with my kids on the…

Simple Spring Kitchen for Staying Home
Hi there! I hope that your week is going well!! We were supposed to be headed out on Spring Break this week, but are staying home and hoping to help to flatten the curve. This simple spring kitchen makes me so content to stay put. That and the fact that I get a break from playing homeschool teacher. Yay!!!

Colonial Home Kitchen: Kitchen Chairs
Kitchen Chairs Hi there! It has been so sunny this week that I’m already thinking about the summer at the Beach Cabin. The water is currently shut off there to avoid pipes freezing, etc. So, I thought I’d share how I incorporated a little beachy feel into our colonial home’s kitchen to get us through winter and back to those dreamy summer days. Since it is very difficult for me to stick to one topic even though the space is tiny, I also included a sweet project that my mom did with the kids and a round up of our top dream kitchen chair contenders as well as a quick…

Hi and Happy Friday! This week, we will be covering the topics of affordable art, historical fiction, a super fun concert venue, glamping in Michigan, and more lighting. This is the last post on Friday (well… maybe not the last one… but I think I’ll be switching to Mondays for all things miscellaneous on Mackinaw Road … how is that for some alliteration?)

Friday Finds on Mackinaw Road: Give Me Five
Hi and Happy New Year! It’s been awhile since there has been a Friday Finds on Mackinaw Road. I thought it would be fun to bring it back (albeit a couple of days early given that the days are all confused this holiday season anyway) but with a little twist. Don’t worry, though, it will still be as random as ever. Just a bit more of a structured randomness- haha! I’m going to try to cover five finds every Friday and hopefully it will only take about five minutes of your time. In this five, there should be a little bit of home, travel, art, gifts, and clothes. Sooo…. here…

Gifts for Traveling Kids: Elementary Age version
Hi there! As much as I love fall, it’s time to admit that winter appears to be here to stay. And, let’s face it, the holidays are a magical time. While we won’t be traveling too much over the holiday months, that doesn’t stop the kids (and us) from dreaming of days on the road. Here are a few gift ideas to keep the kids occupied at home and while traveling. **This post contains affiliate links. Also, we haven’t tried all of the products but just think that they look like great gifts.

Kids Who Travel: Podcasts and Activities
I have to admit that I love having Kids Who Travel. Traveling with kids is great. To a point. It’s a lot of work but is worth it to see the world through fresh eyes. To catch the wonder and curiosity makes all of the planning worth it. I mentioned a few easy, non-Pinterest ways we make our travel flow in this post (click here). Our kids are now 5 and 8 years old and here are some additional tools that are useful as we travel both near and far… and even when we stay put. (This post contains affiliate links.)
