I’m seriously crushing on this dress and it’s only $50. Not the most practical for my nursing life but an hour on Sundays could work? I wish I had made at least some progress on this weight thing and then it could be a reward. Alas, when having to choose between being with Lucas or … More Thoughts
For years I’ve been reading about meal delivery services and believed they were standard paid blog posts – nice concepts but not affordable. I would have continued that belief if we weren’t gifted 3 free meals (which I upgraded to 5 for a mere $20). UPS totally messed up delivery of our first order and … More Hello Fresh
To celebrate spring and because it’s been a long time since we played a six person version of BSG, I invited the Hakalas and Shiremans for a BBQ/BSG game afternoon. We had a potluck and Garrett made some delicious hamburgers with venison. Surprisingly, I didn’t press Danny to take many pictures and instead enjoyed the … More Springtime Fun
A big week for the royal family. The Queens birthday and now a visit by the Obamas. With all this election business, my admiration for President Obama grows. I’d love to know what they discussed but will focus on the glamour of the Cambridges. Kate is making me reconsider my plans for ice cream tonight, … More Happy Friday
I haven’t purchased Lucas4President.com yet but I did set up an email for Lucas that can be used on resumes in the future. Professional reasons aside, it’s also a way for me to communicate with him now for the future. I sent him an email about his baptism, why we selected his godparents, my religious … More You’ve Got Mail
Danny and I had a lot of anxiety leading up to the baptism after we learned Lucas would be dipped naked in the font. We’re both life-long Catholics but we were baptized with a little water poured over our heads. Bath time can be hit or miss with this guy and he has intestines of … More Lucas’ Baptism
I love to throw a party and Lucas’ baptism was a perfect reason to celebrate. Since he’s such a popular boy, we had far more guests than space at our house and rented the clubhouse. Initially, I wasn’t going to do too much in way of decor but after reading about Anna’s birthday party for … More Baptism Luncheon
Mr. B brought Danny’s baptism items over last weekend and I’m so glad we’ll be able to use them for Lucas. Catholicism has always been more than a religion to me but part of my identity. Being mixed in the 90s wasn’t as common as it is today and being Catholic was a similarity shared … More Happy Friday
Drinking plenty of coffee. I decided to pick up a few options at the store the other day and have to say nothing beats Starbucks. Planning Lucas’ baptism this weekend. I’m excited to throw a party and hope it turns out like I’ve planned. If nothing else I hope we get a good family picture. B … More Currently
I made it to the city for the first time in weeks and it was an experience. The plan was to go to Park and Rec Sunday morning. Well in true New Detroit fashion, it was completely packed. A snowy April deterred no one and there were customers waiting outside. Hitting up Google for other … More Sunday Brunch at Selden Standard
