I wasn’t going to post today. Not because I’m not saddened and shaken by Orlando but because I’m tired of the hate and the violence. I hate that malls make me nervous now and that I’m always looking for an exit. I hate that Lucas is growing up in a world that is losing its … More We must do better
I waited a long time for this moment but it’s too early to celebrate (and ironically too late – I slept through the whole thing…). Hopefully, I’ll celebrate in November when the fear of Trump is behind us all. Poor souls I meet are subjected to my daily rant against mostly Bernie Sanders (not a … More Happy Friday
I imagine metro-Detroit is one of the few places were parents suggest pop to cure what ails you. Alas if you’re not feeling well and say you need a Vernor’s no one will blink around here. The local favorite is the talk of the town as it celebrates 150 years.
I LOVE Old Navy and Lucas’ new pjs are one great example why – a sophisticated boy pattern that isn’t stripes, checkered, or camo. Not only that, it’s practical (the material is soft and I personally love snaps for diaper changing ease) and affordable (I bought an entire summer wardrobe for less than $70 – awesome sales and rewards … More Favorite Things
We have fun commentating on Lucas’ thoughts and actions. Mom sent me this yesterday for Lucas and Chester and I love it. We (I) briefly considered a Calvin & Hobbs nursery theme because both Danny and I love the comics. I adore the Captain America nursery selection but look forward to reading the books to Lucas … More Happy Friday
A quarter of a year has passed with our little man. I love him more and more every day. He is finally responsive and in our totally unbiased minds a baby genius. A couple weeks ago Lucas started picking up his rattle and shaking it. The first time he did it he rattled himself to … More Lucas Month 3
When we decided to do weekly lunch dates while on leave, I never thought we’d go downtown. It’s no secret that parking often dictates where I go and downtown Detroit parking is similar to parking in any downtown – complicated (especially when a time crunch is involved). For some reason, I was feeling especially … More Central Kitchen + Bar
It sounds crazy but a catalyst to our house hunt was the new library card at the Civic Center. I couldn’t get it renewed last year since I’m not a resident. I grew up in the city, worked at the library with Danny so my library card is a big deal. Walking around with a Northville … More 1,000
A new Roosevelt model for me – at least for now. Week one (day 3) of working motherhood and whoa – it’s going to be hard. My colleagues have been wonderful, I came back to some of my favorite pictures of Lucas posted around the cubicle and my new office space is ideal; however, it … More Happy Friday
It’s over. 12 weeks went by in a blink of an eye and I head into work tomorrow. I have a great job and work with amazing/supportive people, so my dismay is not at all related to that – I just don’t want to leave my guy. I’ll be away from him longer in one … More Time Flies
