Since February is the month of love I decided to select our all-time favorite meals for the menu. Some of these meals make a regular appearance at our house and others are reserved for special occasions. None of the recipes are difficult to make but a couple take a little bit of time. Creme Brulee … More February Meals
Yesterday Danny and I had an impromptu date night. Originally we were going to go on a double date to Slows but it was postponed. Instead of going home we decided to try out a new restaurant in the city. The cold has kept me indoors so it was great to spend time in Detroit. … More Union Street
I decided I wasn’t busy enough applying for jobs, finishing the International Literary Project, plugging into my Roosevelt research again, starting a new workout program and practicing Spanish, SO I decided to learn to play the piano. Since my last attempt to learn a skill most children know failed I decided to keep this under … More And One More Thing…
Detroit, Spring 2010 Searching for an old picture on FB I found this photo I completely forgot about! Mr. Steve and his fabulous camera work. I’m lucky to have such awesome co-workers and it’s something I’ll remember forever. Apparently, I won’t always remember I heard Michelle Obama speak – although I do remember we went … More Flashback Friday
I’m still getting use to the being married thing. I can’t really explain what I mean by that. I don’t feel single but most days I just feel like myself without a title. Today was not one of those days and this morning I felt like a very lucky wife. Weather in Michigan has been … More Lucky Wife
The love I have for my home grows. Ever since we made the chalkboard I knew what I wanted our February quote to be. I’m pleased with my art work (it isn’t original but I did draw it myself) and I don’t know how I’ll ever erase it. Nothing brightens my days more than a Rhett … More Frankly My Dear
Yesterday was MLK Day and I was able to live my own dream. When I saw this picture online a couple months ago I turned pea green with envy. How lucky was this lady to have a cute little girl that would sit on your lap while you worked (and how awesome to have a … More Living the Dream
After months of discussion, wavering and postponing we finally did it. We cancelled cable. It was simply too expensive and we could not longer justify the cost. I grew up without cable but the last two years were glorious. I loved being able to watch anything whenever I wanted. I’ll miss sports and HGTV … More A Sad Farewell
It’s that time of year again… The time of year I determine to get fit. Over the years my body size has adjusted to one I’m comfortable with; however, lately I’m a bit doughy. It’s not that I’ve stopped going to the gym completely but my regularity and effort rises and falls. I haven’t weighted … More Bring It On
I am beyond thrilled to announce the arrival of the latest girl to my “collection” of adorable little girls. Cindel Mae kept me on edge all weekend but was well worth the wait. She looks a little sleepy in this picture but she was actually very alert. I’m so happy for Gina and can’t wait … More Cindelrella
