I often mention my Levinland peeps but my LCCers are equally as important and part of my life. I worked at the Livonia public library from 16 to 21 and the folks there have seen me at my lowest points and most dramatic (teenage years are rough). After all this time I still talk to, … More Happy Friday!
My hands-down no competition favorite coffee in life is the Pure Evil Latte from the Urban Bean Co. Why haven’t I posted about it sooner? Plain and simple, I’m intimidated. This hipster joint is way too cool for me and I can’t bring myself to ask for an interview or take pictures inside. I did … More The Urban Bean Co.
We painted our first apartment and it instantly felt more homelike. Painting it white a year later when we moved wasn’t fun and a major deterrent in painting our townhouse. Another reason we didn’t paint was because didn’t know how long we would be here. Renting versus buying and city versus suburbs has been a … More Settling In
I hate driving. It tops my list of least favorite activities and I dream of the day when we can at the very least live in a one car household.* Consequently, when I heard about Freshwater Transit’s mission to advocate for public transit in the region and their video project, 15 Minutes or Better, … More Transit Talk with Tom Choske
How gorgeous is this dress? Perfect for Easter Sunday – if runway fashion is your thing. One of my favorite childhood memories is getting a new dress for Easter; however, I honestly, don’t remember the last time I bought a dress for the occasion. I suppose it’s like Christmas and somethings are more fun as … More Happy Friday!
It’s a new month, new season and I feel inspired. Since becoming debt-free our spending has been a bit out of control and food is one of our biggest downfalls. We have been eating out far too much and grocery shopping way too often. It’s back to diligent meal planning and weekly trips to the … More April Meals
I’m not in shape right now. I gained 10 pounds last year out of spite over my futile job search and now that I am employed I’m too tired, stressed and well lazy. It’s been a cold, dark and uninspiring winter. On a couple nice days I went for a run and received a bigger … More Beauty Talk
A couple weeks ago I received the most unexpected email inviting me to visit Sea Life, I gladly accepted and this post was created in partnership with Sea Life Michigan. Sea Life is an aquarium adventure located inside Great Lakes Crossing Outlet Mall. This would seem odd if I didn’t know the Grand Ole Opry is … More Sea Life
We made it another week and to celebrate Danny and I are spending tomorrow in bed. My ideal days tend to involve a lot of activity but Danny is much more of a homebody. He often suggests a day spent in bed and that’s what we’re going to do. He says this more in jest … More Happy Friday!
MSU is in the Sweet Sixteen (again)* and I’m hoping they have a nice run. Since I graduated from the University of Michigan-Dearborn, people are sometimes surprise to know I’m all about the green and white. I love my alma mater but the truth is we’re the Wolves and not the Wolverines. Regardless, I root … More Sweet
