Seen and Unseen on our Family Vacation

July 19, 2016 By Katy

Seen and Unseen on our Family Vacation

“Ocean in view! Oh the joy!” wrote William Clark in 1805, thinking he had reached the Pacific Ocean. Alas, that famous member of the duo, Lewis and Clark, was looking at an estuary of the Columbia River. This got me thinking about all the things my family saw, thought we saw, or wanted to see, but [Read More]

5 Things I Love about Independence Day

June 14, 2016 By Katy

In honor of America's Independence, here are 5 things I love about the Fourth of July.

The Fourth of July, aka America’s Independence Day, is right around the corner. You may have noticed it’s coming due to the preponderance of Red, White and Blue gear and foods that shout at you from store shelves. Or the fact that summer weather has officially arrived. Or perhaps the creative Fourth of July pins [Read More]

Summer Days Drifting Away

August 27, 2015 By Katy

What I'll miss about summer as those summer days are drifting away.

The leaves have begun to turn here in Michigan. It is faint, but noticeable. The mornings are much cooler, too. Fall is knocking on the door and I don’t want to answer. Since I was little, Summer has been my favorite season. It was exciting to be free from the confines of school and weather. [Read More]

The Funny Business of Back to School

August 12, 2015 By Katy

Is it just me or did Mom seem a little too happy about the first day of school?

As the cast of Grease 2 so eloquently sang once upon a time, we gotta go back to school. (Whoa, whoa, I gotta go… back to school again! ) Whether your kids return to school in July (seems early to me!) or after Labor Day (hello, Michigan!) or somewhere in between (probably most of you), [Read More]

Our Summer Adventures So Far

July 29, 2015 By Katy

Our Summer Adventures So Far included a weekend at a camper cabin. So luxurious compared to a tent!

It feels like only 10 minutes ago that we wrapped up another school year and switched gears for summer camp. Yet, here we are, officially knee deep in summer! As Ferris Beuller so eloquently puts it, “Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around for a while, you could miss it.” So I’m stopping now [Read More]

What is Your Favorite National Park?

August 4, 2014 By Katy

I’m on vacation with my family this week, frolicking with bears and wolves in Yellowstone National Park and visiting the wilds of Montana where my parents spend their summer.
