    Friday Finds on Mackinaw Road: Graduation Gifts and More!

    May 23, 2019 /

    Spring is in full swing with all of the fun activities and last minute school events! That includes graduation gifts! I can’t believe how many kids are graduating this year. It seems like they were just in second grade! Don’t blink. We’ve also had Mother’s Day, so many birthdays, teacher gifts, and Father’s Day right around the corner. You can check out the Father’s Day gift guide by clicking here. Below are some more (random) gift suggestions for all your gift giving needs.

    Friday Finds on Mackinaw Road: San Antonio, a Free Packing Printable, Butterflies, and Salamander Green

    March 16, 2018 /

      Happy Friday! Last week at this time we were in warm and sunny San Antonio, Texas. Did you know that San Antonio is celebrating its 300th birthday this year?! This is the second city we’ve visited in the last 6 months that is celebrating 300. Maybe in addition to visiting as many Frank Lloyd Wright homes as possible (see this post if you missed it), I’ll also visit as many cities turning 300 in this coming year! More on San Antonio next week, including where to eat and what to do.

    Friday Finds on Mackinaw Road, Take 10: Vintage Travel Magazines, Chatbooks, and a Travel-Related Gift

    December 1, 2017 /

    Happy Friday (again)! I have to admit that I really do look forward to these Friday Finds on Mackinaw Road days. I hope you do too!   I also have to admit that almost all of these finds happened two weeks ago, but there was just so much to share around the Thanksgiving holiday that I decided to save it for this week. **This post contains affiliate links. Christmas is right around the corner and I’m already nervous I am going to forget someone’s gift. Luckily, the parents are taken care of with tickets to shows and sporting events and I have most of the other gifts too. I was…
