One Piece Swimsuits, a Bathroom Vanity, & Kids’ Games
Talk about nothing going together! This post is all over the place with a round up of top options for one piece swimsuits (under $100), our bathroom vanity plans update (eek-it’s happening!), and two kids games we’ve been loving lately (that the kids can either play alone or together- everyone literally wins!). **This post contains affiliate links, meaning that if you click and purchase, I may receive some compensation. Thank you! Swimsuits Under $100 Let’s start with the swimsuit round up. I’ve rounded up several options for one-piece swimsuits this season. They are all under $100. The majority of them are from the same store for ease of shipping and…

Spring Outfits for Elementary Age Kids
With spring just around the corner (pretty please!), I have big plans to clean out our closets this weekend. Exciting plans, I know. As we are starting to come out of this crazy year, spring outfits for the family seem to be in order. R and my clothes should be fine so one or two items is likely all we need. The kids, however, have shot up over the past year and I’m not sure anything is going to still fit them. Not to mention, they are incredible hard on their clothing. So there’s that.

Argyle Sweaters, Family Winter Activities, and More
Hi there and Happy Thursday! Get ready for some randomness, including some family winter activities we have been (mostly) enjoying, a round up of argyle sweaters (just in time for the incoming polar vortex), a favorite winter recipe (and some meal planning), and wall frames (with the perfect oversized mat). Family Winter Activities It has been sooo wintery here in Michigan lately, but we’ve really been trying to get outside as much as possible. We went cross country skiing this past weekend, and it was so pretty and a great way to get outside as a family. (We did have a few “take aways” for next time. Naturally.) Our daughter…

Kids’ Clothes, A Holiday Mantel & More
Today I’m sharing a sneak peek of our Christmas Mantel, a book that I’m listening to for the second time, a few ideas for kids’ clothes for the winter, a new-to-me brand, a Christmas Cabin wish list, and a favorite hotel. Oh, and I changed the name from Mackinaw Road Mondays to Mackinaw Road Musings, since I rarely seem to be able to actually get the posts out on Mondays.

Women’s Winter Boots- Mackinaw Road
Hi there! I’m taking a break from the Gift Guides to talk about women’s winter boots. Winter boots are a definite necessity when living in Michigan. I have two pairs that I love and both need new lining since I have worn them often for the past several years. I may look into having the lining replaced. Or, I may use this as a good excuse to invest in another pair. We will see. Since this is a wish list of sorts, I do not have any direct experience with the boots, so you’ll want to read the descriptions and reviews to make sure that they are what you are…

Cozy Winter Clothes- Mackinaw Road Monday
Good morning and Welcome to Mackinaw Road Monday where most of the time things are pretty random but today are actually somewhat organized. I’m talking about Cozy Winter Clothes. I’ve put together a little board of all of the options I’m considering for this winter. Since I usually have 2-3 colors (I use that term very loosely as the colors are usually black, cream/white, and camel) I wear in each season, it makes it easier to mix and match tops and pants for the maximum number of cozy outfits available to me.

Mackinaw Road Monday: Like to Know
Hi there and Happy Monday! Actually Thursday. What a week! I am so excited that you can now find all of my favorites over on the LIKEtoKNOW.it app! I’ll be sharing more about how it all works later in this post. I would also like to know your thoughts on the mirror that I purchased for our dining room, what color scheme works for our fall dining table, if you’ve seen one of my favorite interior designer’s new show on Netflix, and what you think about this sweater. Let’s get started! **This post contains affiliate links, meaning that if you click and purchase, I may receive some compensation. Thank you!

Mackinaw Road Monday: Fan Favorites
Hi there! Get ready for some truly random musings on this Monday morning (as well as some not-so-great iphone pics). This includes my attempted mirror selfies prior to our family photo session, our 1920’s bathroom plans, apple pie, a favorite podcast and book purchase, a preordered book, and (actually semi-related) things I have my eye on from a recent collaboration launch between two favorites. So, to tie it all together maybe this week we will just call the random list: Fan Favorites.

Mackinaw Road Monday: Fall Mantel Sneak Peek, Masks, and More
Hello! And Hello Fall. I usually treat September like summer, but the weather is making that almost impossible this year. The Lake is higher and wavier than its usual still-as-glass September water. So, this Mackinaw Road Monday has a little summer and a whole lot of fall in it. I’m showing you a Fall Mantel Sneak Peak, a clever way to store and display Masks, and More.
