He finally arrived! Our little big guy Lucas Mikhail came into the world on March 2nd at an unexpected 9lbs 1oz and it’s been the most wonderful, amazing 5 days. Danny and I are completely in love and spend our time telling him that. What’s not to love? Look at that face! He’s the perfect blend … More Meet Lucas
I sincerely hoped today would be a birth announcement. Last Tuesday, my doctor was optimistic with my progress and more progress has been made since but no baby. All I have is irregular, mild contractions that get my hopes up and leave me hanging. I’m dreadfully impatient and waiting has been torture. So here we … More Happy Friday
This Detroit blog has been a bit Detroitless lately. My limited mobility and simmering animosity for the ‘justice system’ are to blame. Fortunately, I’m coming around on both fronts. This Better Life Bag definitely strikes a cord with my Detroit love and I would order one in a heartbeat if we weren’t about to experience a … More Detroit Inspired BLB
Planning on this being my last bump picture and doing a re-take with baby Lucas in my arms really soon! I’ve checked off all the pre-labor signs except the actual labor so I’m anxious and impatient. Wanting this dress from H&M. It wasn’t at the store this weekend so I picked up a shirt instead. It is … More Currently
The thing I undoubtedly miss most about my previous job is Paul. He was a fantastic work buddy and made everyday bearable. He’s so sweet and thoughtful, he is possibly the only person to buy me something that I am excited to hang on my wall. This Captain America tile is so perfect I can’t … More Happy Friday!
A couple years ago we had 11 of 12 nieces/nephews over for a sleepover. This weekend we had 12 of 14 kids (10 spent the night). Being so close to Lucas’ due date there were some skeptics out there. Mr. B desperately wanted me to cancel but I’m happy to report everything went off without … More Valentine’s Day Sleepover
The day of our big bash has finally arrived! 12 of our 14 nieces/nephews will be over for a Valentine’s Day sleepover. We have games, arts & crafts, plenty of my old dresses that will be modeled and/or auctioned and movies. I baked these chocolate/strawberry cupcakes last night and will make some cinnamon donut puffs … More Happy Friday!
In New Orleans it’s Mardi Gras but in Detroit it’s Paczki Day. If you live here it needs no further explanation. For the past couple days you’ve seen signs everywhere (and people waiting in long lines). My staple donut place doesn’t even offer donuts today – well at least not technically. A Paczki is basically … More Paczki Day
22 more days. 22 more days. 12 more days? I really, really hope it’s not more than 22 days! If you can’t tell the countdown has begun. I have another cold and let me tell you it sucks. I can go to bed as early as can be but since I can’t breathe, find a … More Happy Friday
I’m not usually a big Valentine’s Day person but February feels extra special now and, inspired by one of my favorite bloggers, I want to make the holidays extra special. Still budget conscious, I limited my spending to Target’s ‘dollar’ section. Like most people I’m easily suckered by the fancy display that greets you at the … More Feeling the Love
