When you Google Detroit 75 Kitchen, the street view is a Sunoco. I’ll admit it left me a little skeptical but my boss was adamant in his recommendation and his lunch smelled delicious. I think we waited all of a day before checking it out on a lunch date. Let me tell you it is a … More Detroit 75 Kitchen
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!
I feel very Millennial with this food subscription stuff but it really is wonderful. We have had a great experience with Hello Fresh but when I heard Martha Stewart was getting involved in the meal delivery business I couldn’t wait to try it out. Almost all the recipes I make are Martha Stewart and I … More Marley & Martha
I posted this quote yesterday afternoon heartsick over the killings of Alton Sterling and Philando Castile. Yesterday evening, I sat in bed holding Lucas as I cried. I’m not a crier but it was the only thing I could do. Snipers shooting police at a peaceful rally – what is happening? This week has had … More A Turning Point
Our little man is coming into his own and he has a sweet, fun personality. He continues to be inquisitive and captivated by the world around him. He loves his Piggy and lamb rattle. They are key soothing tools/chew toys. Aunt B likes to remind him they are ‘friends not food’ but he’s not convinced. His … More Lucas Month 4
After six years of veteran casework, I was admittedly burned out last year. I didn’t think I’d miss angry and/or long-winded vets but I do – I especially miss the nice ones! This week I was reminded why I love helping veterans. I had the pleasure to participate in a project led by The Mission Continues, a … More Happy 4th
We’re going strong with our reading challenge! To celebrate our new home, we took a trip to the library (all 3 of us!) and got a library card – isn’t it super cute!? We’ll be checking out more books this weekend and getting Lucas’ name on the library wall for hitting the 100 book mark. Here … More Books 26-75
I’ll start with hushpuppies because HUSHPUPPIES! When I was a kid we went to Long John Silvers – which is frankly odd because my mom doesn’t eat seafood – and I loved them. I have never seen them anywhere else and haven’t had them in probably two decades. Consequently, when I saw hushpuppies on the … More Huron Room
Loving our Father’s Day look. I got sucked into a Facebook ad and bought this dress from SheIn. I feel horrible for ethical reasons but…. it is surprisingly nice quality, fits and looks great. Exhausted. Working parenthood is rough. I say parenthood because it’s just as hard for Danny as it is for me – we both … More Currently
and Happy Father’s Day Wordbird! Father’s Day will always be special to me because it’s when we found out I was pregnant. I bought Danny a card and an ‘I love Daddy’ onesie that Lucas was stuffed into one time. Lucas definitely loves his Dad. From the very start if he was crying and I … More Happy Friday
