We've finally gotten some snow here! Not that I am excited about it... my car has been parked in the same space since Saturday afternoon. It's kind of annoying to not be able to go run errands if I need to, but P is enjoying it :) ...

Last weekend, I was super stressed out about a lot of stuff, and all I could think about was just getting away from everything- just me and P, away. So, I went on Craigslist in the "vacation rentals" section and started looking for a cabin. I came across a post for Tomichi Lodge. Perfection I tell you. I emailed the owners explaining my situation, that I don't have a ton of extra money but wanted to get away for a couple days with my kiddo. They totally hooked it up you guys, I mean, above and beyond. They...

This movie. First of all, I absolutely love documentaries. This one did not disappoint. I first heard of it on Facebook, through a friend. I was immediately interested because it was filmed and took place mostly in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan,  in a town 10 minutes from where I went to college. Let me preface for all you people who have no idea what the UP is-  It's small. Small towns. Not a lot of people. Far from anywhere. BUT, amazing. I love that place and part of my heart will always be there :) Anyway.  This movie...

For all of you people who read this in Google Reader,  take a second to head over to my blog  on your internet browser and take a look at the new design :)  I've worked really hard to get it this way,  it's more simple and clean and I love it!  It's still coming together and  there are a couple things I need to keep working on,  but how it looks now is how I plan on it staying for a long time. Hope you like it! ...

Before Porter, life really was so different, not better or worse, but different.  BUT, there are those "little things" that were so easy back then... - Taking a shower. You know how many times a week I get to actually ENJOY a shower? Usually not once. It's hard to take your time in there when you have a toddler climbing things, spilling things, coloring on things, getting into things... - Eating, in peace. Porter is about as bad a dog when it comes to begging for food. He sees you eating something, he wants it. RIGHT NOW. And...
