My precious hubby has blessed me with lots of opportunities to sleep a little more today. He rocks my world. The wee babes are not well, and I’m not feeling spectacular either. So, in honor of all the snotty tissues laying around, and the fact that the Benadryl has once again been dug out of our medicine cabinet, let us… Read More
It’s A {Frog} Wrap
The lovely {brilliant, creative, beautiful} momma behind Second Nature Baby Wraps {who just happens to be one of my all time favorite people} knocked my socks off when she custom created a wrap for me to “wear” my son after he was born. {It’s an absolute life-saver when you have a toddler to chase} While still in utero, my sweet… Read More
I Don’t Know About A Cabana Boy…
But it would appear I have a wild-about-the-outdoors, rough-and-tumble Cabela Boy on my hands. When he’s not riding on the tractor or working in the man cave with his daddy, enjoying leaves and dirt for their unique tactile qualities, playing with his cars and making engine noises, or mounting something unstable and destined for disaster…he’s hammering something breakable with something… Read More

The Story of Us
If you’ve sat in our living room and looked out our bay window, you have most likely spotted them; 3 exquisitely unique sculptures that tell the story of “us”. Meticulously crafted from chucks of black soapstone and serpentine, and gathered from 3 completely different places at different stages of our journey, these sculptures depict the progression of our lives. A… Read More
A Cider Mill Morning
We spent Saturday morning with a few of our favorite people, soaking up the sunshine at Uncle John’s Cider Mill. Where better to spend these final few days of gorgeous late-Summer-early-Autumn weather than here, sipping cider and eating donuts, playing, having a wagon ride and picking up pumpkins {not to mention my new, sweet little niece}? When I told Cricket… Read More
The Wild, The Wacky, The Wonderful
…we got to experience it all at the Saginaw Zoo. Well, not all. But you know, we worked through our disappointment {over no lions, or tigers, or bears…oh my}. What we did score out of the deal was a delicious morning of adventure with our new friends, a yummy picnic lunch, and 4 {relatively} well-behaved toddlers enjoying the gloriously warm,… Read More
Rrring Rrrring…
What might you be able to create from a random, cast-off chunk of wood found laying outside the man cave, you ask? {I know, you didn’t ask. But work with me here} Why…a high-tech, state-of-the-art woodular phone, of course! No matter how absorbed you may be in your coloring project, your pretty pink phone will zap you out… Read More
Whip It
…whip it good! {random glow-in-the-dark-stick finding meets later-than-normal bedtime}
Dip It
Why is Bug smiling? Because he has just experienced his very first peanut butter dipping bowl. And I think he liked it.
Fall{ing} 4 Friendship
I love watching my daughter’s friendships blossom. The older they get, the more it seems they appreciate those sweet bonds that have formed with other little people their age. And the more sweetly and intimately they connect. And – sweet relief – the less they pout, shriek and hoard. It seems they truly start to love each other, miss each… Read More
Toes & Giggles
We had friends over yesterday and loved every minute of it! Their delightful daughter confirmed something I’ve suspected for some time now. I think 3 is my favorite age yet! Yes, the sassiness has the ability to drive me absolutely batty, and the drama makes me want stick my fingers in my ears, close my eyes and sing… Read More
