This anniversary feels extra special because it’s our third year of marriage and first year as a family of three. We’re ready for it and excited but it’s a little bittersweet. Danny and I are great together. We bicker and he does things to drive me crazy but I love our life as the two … More The Big 3
Dana is a Detroit fashion blogger. I found her blog, The Closet Confessional, a couple years ago and am always impressed with her wardrobe choices. I also enjoy seeing which local spot will be the backdrop for her latest fashion shoot. This summer Dana announced that she was starting her own personal styling business and, as I do … More Life in Detroit: Dana Frost
For months I was looking forward to visiting The Flower House – a unique art installation in an abandoned home in Hamtramck. My work-buddy and go to garden guy, Paul, was going to go with me. I very naively put off purchasing tickets and now they are all sold out! I’m beyond disappointed because this … More Happy Friday
When I learned our baby was a boy, it was a challenge to figure out how I would connect with him. Girls I know, boys… not so much. Fortunately, it didn’t take me long – 24 hours – to come up with a nursery theme that incorporated many of my loves and helped me envision … More Nursery Inspiration: Captain America
I’m hoping I’m passed the halfway point now. I’m finally showing and it’s weird to see – I can’t imagine what it will be like next month! I love our little guy and can’t wait to hold him in my arms. In the meantime, I relish every kick and there are plenty to enjoy. The … More Month 5

Located in Eastern Market, it’s perfect for my standard welcome to Detroit tour but I often stop in myself to check out their goods. In addition to being a shop, it’s also a rental venue and Chris and Emily had a beautiful wedding … More Detroit Mercantile Company
What a week! We learned our little baby is a boy. I was admittedly a little shocked by the news – turns out I did have a preference after all. I’m now recovered and very excited. I’ve been shopping up a storm and ordering or picking up anything that doesn’t have a cartoon character and … More Happy Friday!
Currently, I’m living the life of a girl on a budget aka homebound. With that preface, I do have blog adventures in the works but not this week. Instead I’ll participate in a blogger staple and life update. Watching Television sitcoms: Brooklyn 99 (still my favorite), Big Bang Theory (definitely interested in what’s going on with Shamy), … More Currently
I needed a break last week but I’m back at it and ready to enjoy my favorite month! My killer diet remains intact and I continue to find little to no pleasure in food; however, I can eat – progress! Our budget has been a disaster lately and we absolutely must do better. Being diligent … More October Meals
Unexpected life events, inevitably make you consider how you live. This Emerson quote hits the mark and pretty well summarizes the Roosevelt Standard I strive for. I’ve got some work to do in the useful part – I could benefit from an energy boost – but feel like I’m on the right track in the … More Happy Friday
