Ok, we've all been there. You know what I'm talking about. I think at all of us have been 'in the dog house' with our significant other at some point in time. I know I have! Whether it's forgetting an important date or just not being there when needed I think we all have it happen at some point...

Northern Michigan summers are gorgeous but they also don't last as long as I'd like so I love making the most the most o...

With this being the last week of school for many of us in Northern Michigan I thought it fitting to put together a summer grilling recipe list! We grill year round here in Northern Michigan but during the summer months I'm willing to bet most families grill at least 2-3 times a week. When it's my t...

After spending much of the weekend out on Crooked Lake I can easily say that summer is (almost) finally here!! The sand bar was busy and the kids had a fantastic time jumping in and out of the water. I got in but only walked around until the water warmed up. Hard to believe there was ice on the lake...
