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
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
