Ahh! Summer road trips. Open road before us…my absolute most favorite part of Summer. No specific destination in mind. Just on the road with the family. Windows down. Music up.

They don’t call them the Dog Days of Summer for nothing! And I’m pretty sure my Boxers are maximizing every moment of their Summer days! From long afternoon naps in the sun to splashing in the lake to evening walks, Jasper and Dexter spend as much time outside as possible. And this guy is usually…

I would be nothing without my lists. I probably have at least 6 or 7 lists sitting around my house at this very moment! Grocery lists. Chore lists. To-Do Lists. Lists of things I need to remember to take with me when I leave the house in the afternoon as we bounce back and forth…

Did you guys see the article over on Buzzfeed the other day comparing “Parents At The Beginning Of The School Year vs. The End“? If you haven’t, you need to go scroll through. It will only take a minute. Go. Now. It’s totally worth it! I’ll wait…. Funny but completely dead-on, right? As much as…
April showers bring…well, this week in Michigan, it appears they bring May showers! And, after a brutal winter, being stuck inside is no fun for any of us!

You know those moments when your husband says, “Here, honey, let me do {insert chore} for you,” and you are all he’s the sweetest guy! ? But then he begins insisting on doing that same chore every time or redoing it after you just did it and you begin to question his motives… Turns out I am…

I would dare say that Mother’s Day is one of those “last minute” gift buying holidays. I couldn’t even tell you how many times my husband has said to me, “Remind…
