I love making salads in the summer. Most of the time I just throw together whatever ingredients are in the fridge, but there’s one I absolutely love and that’s any type of taco salad. We don’t make it often because even despite my best efforts to hide foods, my husband ALWAYS gets into the Doritos […]
My Hood: Fairytale Festival at Ford House
I don’t know about y’all, but there’s one local summer event I can’t wait to check out: the Fairy Tale Art: Illustrations from Children’s Books at Edsel & Eleanor Ford House. Being a history nerd, I became enchanted with the Ford House a few years back and even wrote about my visit there in my old blog. This […]
Pure Michigan Road Trip
One of my best memories is a trip the hubby and I took for our first anniversary, prior to baby. It wasn’t anywhere expensive – we just decided to take a road trip and be tourists in our own state. ((For those in Michigan, we traveled north to Traverse City and the Leelanau Peninsula, and […]

Let’s just say it’s an adult spin on a kid classic. This video is intended for those 21+. ((And don’t […]
Interview With A Neighbor: A Guide to Baby #2
Yesterday I discussed my recent lapse of baby amnesia. Yes, I love babies. But having two of them, under my care until they’re at least 18? SCARY. It already takes me an additional hour to go anywhere with Little K. What would two babes do to my planning? To qualm my fears, I decided to […]
My Hood: The Wienermobile’s Coming To Detroit
One of my favorite things about Twitter: sometimes, if you’re vocal, a big company will listen to you. About a month ago, Dominique over at Midwest Guest, started a Twitter conversation about the Oscar Meyer Wienermobile, citing a great post she wrote awhile back about it. Pretty soon there was a group of gals including […]
