    Midwest Christmas Tour

    December 19, 2017 /

    Snow days and travel difficulties signal that winter has officially settled into the Midwest. People working on the Beach Cabin had trouble getting up the hill and even had to shovel their way in. (But just looks at this beautiful progress!)

    Friday Finds on Mackinaw Road: Tacos, Shopping, Bloody Mary’s, and Barre

    March 3, 2017 /

      Welcome back to my randomness… with Friday Finds, Take 2….Hope you all had a great week! We made it to almost-Friady. Yay! And I made it through February without a broken bone- double Yay!

    24 Hours in West Michigan

    January 5, 2017 /

Second, I would be all over West Michigan because it would be too difficult to stay in one city, and, with the ease of travel here, why not? Third, how has this not been a dinner conversation topic before? Move over crazy toddler stories, there’s a new topic in town.
