Tips for an Under $25 Grout Refresh
Hi there! A couple of weekends ago, I attempted what seemed would be a “quick DIY” (do those even exist?!?) in our kids’ bathroom. I had purchased some grout refresh six months ago with every intention to complete this project before Christmas. But Christmas came and went… as did Valentine’s Day … and St. Patrick’s Day… Anyway, I finally got started toward the end of March. And I completely made it soooo much more difficult than it needed to be. A LOT of this was do to user error/not reading the directions carefully, but I thought I’d share what I learned anyway.

Mackinaw Road Mondays: Springtime, Sunglasses, Flowers, and More
Hi there! I wrote this post last week, before everything happened. And while we’re all a bit (lot) anxious and social distancing and praying for those who are and will be affected on all kinds of levels, I’m hoping that this can just be a little break and distraction from all of it. So, Welcome to Mackinaw Road Mondays where we cover five topics. This week, they almost all involve the sun or flowers… or both! How’s that for actually being semi-focused on springtime this week! And, after this week, a little springtime cheeriness is definitely in the cards.

Coastal Boy Bedroom
Well… it happened. Again. I changed our son’s bedroom for maybe the 3rd time since he has been in twin beds. You can check out the original room here. And the dino version here. This time the goal was to create a Coastal Boy Bedroom. Our trip to California was so amazing and a place that just defines our family’s love of the coast, be it during Michigan summers and/or California winters. How dreamy would that combo be?!? But, back to that Coastal Boy Bedroom.

Laguna Beach/Dana Point: Where to Stay, Where to Eat and What to Do
Good morning! We recently returned from a quick trip to Laguna Beach, California. It was just what our family needed, and we are already scheming for ways to save so we can make this a February tradition. My husband and I visited a few years ago and I immediately fell in love. I was so excited to bring our kids this time! Our daughter, who really doesn’t like to venture too far from our neighborhood for dinner quietly told me she would be willing to move to California. I wish! Also, just a brief disclaimer. Many of our activities were in Dana Point, which is just down the beach from…

Colonial Home Kitchen: Kitchen Chairs
Kitchen Chairs Hi there! It has been so sunny this week that I’m already thinking about the summer at the Beach Cabin. The water is currently shut off there to avoid pipes freezing, etc. So, I thought I’d share how I incorporated a little beachy feel into our colonial home’s kitchen to get us through winter and back to those dreamy summer days. Since it is very difficult for me to stick to one topic even though the space is tiny, I also included a sweet project that my mom did with the kids and a round up of our top dream kitchen chair contenders as well as a quick…
