Creating Laundry Room Storage

When we moved our laundry up from our basement to our pantry, everything was pretty awesome. But we also didn’t want just a washer and dryer at the end of the pantry, looking like we just plopped it there without any thought (like this). So we had an idea to...

A Vacation in Northern Michigan

Since we first met, Kerry has been telling me how great northern Michigan is, particularly the Traverse City area. We have been trying to find some time to get up there, and last week we finally did. We made the seven and a half hour drive and spent four days...

Tried-and-True Recipe: Guacamole Bruschetta

I love sharing these “tried-and-true recipes” with you. We try a lot of recipes that we find on Pinterest — some work and some are complete failures — so it’s fun to be able to tell you what has worked for us! One of our all-time favorite recipes that we’ve been making for years is...

Summer of Ice Cream: Fenik’s Frozen Custard in Avon Lake

When Kerry and I moved to Bay Village two years ago, a friend told us that we had to try Fenik’s Frozen Custard. She knew we are ice cream junkies and said that she and her husband love heading out to Avon Lake as much as possible for Fenik’s brand...

Oh goodness you guys. I wrote this post last weekend and totally forgot to publish it! The first full week of Joey’s preschool really messed up my normal routine … and my mind, haha! Well, I wanted to let you know that as things start to settle down after a busy...

Our Daily Routine

When Joey was new, I read so many things about daily routines, wondering just what my days with a baby were “supposed” to look like, and though I’ve since realized there’s no “right” way, I’m still really fascinated to find out about other families’ days. We settled into a good daily routine with Joey when...

Ice cream week is over. Boo.

Thank you for sharing ice cream week with me! How was your week?! Even though Andy was out of town, which is never fun, I’ll admit I had a good time curling up in bed and watching season one of Downton Abbey (I had to see what all the fuss...
