Another book to add to my reading list. When I drive through Detroit neighborhoods it’s devastating to see so many beautiful homes being lost to decay. I’m so glad there are people out there willing to take on such challenges. It’s unbelievable that 50 years ago women weren’t allowed to run in marathons. It’s incredible … More Fast Four
I’m thrilled to finally check off a long-time goal from my travel list. We’re in Charleston and I’m excited to experience the places I’ve read about on Look, Linger, Love. Admittedly, I enjoy this book more than Lucas but it’s still his Easter gift. I’m guessing Guardians Vo. 2 will be my favorite movie of the … More Fast Four
The Challenge: Tell a story with a mirror The Picture: Before you have kids you think – kids aren’t going to dictate my life, I’ll do all the things I’ve always enjoyed doing. The thing you never expect is that you don’t want to do the things you always enjoyed anymore – at least I … More Happy Friday
The Challenge – Unedited Photo The Picture – In this crazy world, it’s easy to lose hope in humanity. This week’s picture is validation that there are good people in the world and the proof comes in the form of cookies! This beautiful and delicious (I did a quality test) cookie was made by Ashley (nee … More Happy Friday
It’s scary to say but photography is part of my job. I like taking pictures but it’s not my top form of self-expression. It IS Danny’s creative outlet and he’s really talented. As a fun couples activity we’ve decided to start a photography challenge. So here’s my first. The Challenge – The Rule of Thirds. … More Happy Friday
I started multiple blog post this week but never found time to finish. The charming gent in my arms above has taken an extreme disinterest in going to bed before 10pm so not much is being accomplished in the evenings. Lucas and I are also sick, hopefully, we’ll both be on the road to recovery … More Happy Friday and Merry Christmas
I’m currently reading a novel about Thomas Jefferson’s daughter and I have many thoughts. One thing that stands out is the fierce partisan rhetoric, libelous and petty attacks on character and talk of unprecedented divisiveness/taking up arms in protest. It seems that every presidential election cycle we have the same debates, disappointments and in January the country … More Happy Friday
It’s been a week and if you follow me on Instagram you’ve seen my frustration with daycare. Although they are not necessarily on my favorite people list, they did garner some goodwill when I opened Lucas’ folder and found this adorable picture. I have no idea who the other babies are but there’s no mistaking … More Happy Friday
I started my day by hugging a Detroit police officer. It’s too easy to forget the good. The great thing about my job is that I get to see the good more often than most. Today a multinational corporation brought volunteers to board-up abandoned houses in southwest Detroit. As one of the company’s group was … More Happy Friday
I’m going to say week one of daycare was a success. The first day was very hard for Lucas. I think he thought he was being permanently abandoned. He cried a lot. My mom went to visit him and was so heartbroken she came over in the evening to spend some time with him. I … More Happy Friday!
