I took some time to decompress this weekend and it felt good. We stayed close to home for the most part and even though I didn’t check off nearly as much of my to-do list as I hope I did a little cleaning, got in some running and lots of quality time with my guys. … More A Memorable Weekend
I’m SO excited for the holiday weekend. I promised the guys I’ll be putting away the phone and I can’t wait. I’ll still use the camera and will have lots to share next week! Per last week’s posts, there are lots of changes coming to Detroit and I think Southwest will be the next boom … More Fast Four
My favorite picture from the royal wedding. Nothing says fairytale more than this and it wasn’t even staged. Harry and (Rachel!?!) Meghan seem in love, I hope they have a happy life together. The wedding was definitely more ‘Blackish’ than I expected and I wonder how the Queen felt about it. You’d think she would … More The Royal Wedding

Coming your way: Great places to eat Popular places to drink Fun things to do in Detroit Cool things to … More What’s New in Detroit Vol. 1
Currently I would argue that in addition to love you also need high volumes of caffeine, sleep and a vacation (a staycation would do).

We are a MARVEL family for sure. At age 2 Lucas knows all his superheroes. He’s seen Spiderman Homecoming countless times and loves declaring that he’s a superhero to everyone who will listen. I was excited to take him to Free Comic Book Day at Vault of Midnight downtown on Saturday because even though he’s a … More Family Day @ Vault of Midnight
Life is crazy 98% of the time these days. I feel like I’m failing at most things most days. I desperately want a few days without life responsibility to focus on my guys and get organized. Since that’s a pipe dream, I am finding SO much solace in our little house updates. Our bedroom … More Bedroom Updates
Life is busy. One day it won’t be so in the meantime I’m embracing the chaos and doing my best. We’re going to see the Avengers tomorrow and I can’t wait but totally can wait at the same time. I fear my beloved Captain America will die and I just can’t. MARVEL is my happy space … More Fast Four
