14 Weeks of Summer: Parks

Out of all of the possible Summer activities, I am sure that my daughters’ absolute favorite is playing at the park! Swings. Slides. Merry-go-rounds. Sand! Hours and hours they could spend there. And totally would if I’d let them! Heading out to the park is a great way to wind down the Summer but still [...]

But, if you’re still looking for something fun to do and still remain low-key, then get ready for some Backyard Fun! We spend a good portion of our Summer right in our own backyard, especially [...]

The Accidental Gardener

I am not a gardner. But I have a garden. And every year that garden is  total crap shoot! I had high hopes of being this expert gardener. We used our old deck boards to build a garden box in the back corner of the yard, the only spot that got sun. Had it filled [...]

Going Home

It’s always an odd feeling traveling back to the town where I grew up. And yet we do it almost every Summer. It bewilders my husband. And this year, I tried to explain it to him. See, growing up in a small town, everyone knows everyone. And, when you leave that town, it’s almost as [...]

14 Weeks of Summer: Take a trip

I cannot believe that my baby is heading off to Kindergarten in just four short weeks. Amazing how quickly the summer seems to go by each year. That also means that we have just four short weeks to pack in all our Summer fun! One thing we like to do each Summer is to take [...]

14 Weeks of Summer: Water fun

The temperatures across the country have been CA-RAZY! this summer!  Don’t get me wrong, I love the warm summer weather but 90+ degrees with high humidity is just wrong. Especially when you live in the northern part of the country. Geesh! Thankfully, on those uber-hot days, we can always go cool down by the water. [...]

14 Weeks of Summer: Getting off the beaten path

Last week I shared with you how we did some exploring and adventuring while were on vacation in Columbus. Well, we also love to do exploring and adventuring right here in West Michigan. That’s one of the beauties of living on the lakeshore — lots of trails and waterways to explore! Hopefully this list will [...]

Columbus Trip: Adventuring

Our last day in Columbus. And it was a sweltering 90+ degrees. Geesh, Columbus, you are killing me here! I like heat but usually when it’s accompanied by a refreshing body of water. Not a campground, no breeze, and an overcrowded pool. So, in the car (and air conditioning) we go! Tim had taken Jasper, [...]

Columbus Trip: Zoo

I love zoos. Mostly because I just love animals and am fascinated by so many of them. And, while I’d love to observe them in their natural habitat, that’s just not possible for many of these animals.  Ok, and I like having the safety of that fence or trench or plexiglass between me and them. [...]
