It’s National Best Friends Day and while I don’t normally recognize these daily ‘holidays’, I have the BEST friends who are regularly subjected to blog related pictures so they’ve earned a post. Most people have a hard time finding one best friend, I have six and I love them all dearly. My Sister – B … More Best Friends
Turns out Magnolia magic is like pixie dust – all you need to do is believe. After reading about Joanna’s flower workshop, I was inspired to host a flower party for Mother’s Day. I enjoy fresh flowers but more often than not I receive them as a hostess gift and hurriedly cut the stems and plop … More How to Host a Flower Brunch
I don’t drink beer. I don’t like it at all but I’m surrounded by beer connoisseurs and am aware that Michigan’s brewery scene is quite impressive. So much so that a recent list named 4 Michigan beers on a top 20 list of the best beers in the world! Nationally, Michigan is one of the … More Brewed in Detroit
And Happy Birthday Kat! Well it’s a little early for that, but the big 3-0 celebrations start tomorrow. This picture is a bit of a throwback – 2009. The halfway mark of our 10 year friendship. When we first met I was definitely that pesky kid who would follow her around at work. I’m sure … More Happy Friday
We’re going on a road trip for our summer vacation and I can’t wait! In preparation for many hours on the road I’m making a Pure Michigan Playlist. I’m definitely a Motown girl.

The call back interview with Lisa and Cassandra. The dreaded writing test (I’m not sure how I passed). They sat me at Gina’s desk and … More 5 Years Later…

One tonight with Kat and again tomorrow night with Cara, Melissa and Lindsey. Sunday, Danny and I are meeting Chris and Emily for brunch at La Dolce Vita. Afterwards … More Happy Friday
Thursday night was Mercy Education Project’s annual fundraiser dinner. I’ve been a volunteer for 5 years but it’s the first time I went and I was SO excited! The night was especially great because Lisa gave Danny a ticket too. He was finally able to meet the girls and see first hand what I spend … More MEP Doorway to the Future Dinner
We had two sleepovers this weekend. One Friday night with baby Gwen (who’s quickly becoming a toddler). She can climb stairs now and loves it but she must be closely monitored. The other was Saturday night with her parents. We had a blast watching SNL, playing cards and making cocktails. … More Weekend Fun
2013 was a great year. I think I did the best I could and am happy with my accomplishments. Spending time with friends and family is always a priority and I did really well with my visiting log. I even managed to visit with people I haven’t seen in a long time. We went on … More 2013 Roundup
