Happy Friday! Michigan leaves are in full color and the weather is getting cooler. I’m LOVING IT. I have probably said this a million times but this is my absolute favorite time of the year. I have to enjoy every minute of it since its the shortest season. Wahhh. 🙁 This weekend I’m going to a bachelorette party (a night with no kids??? Say whaaaat?) and Mason & Harper will be four months old. Cody and I have plans to do nothing except eat crockpot beef stew and watch football all day Sunday. What are your plans this weekend?

our family vacation from hell

October 19, 2016

This past weekend, Cody had some extra time off work so we thought it would be a good idea to head up north and visit Mackinac Island. I use to LOVE going to Mackinac with my grandparents when I was a child and Cody had never been, so it sounded like the place to go. If you watched my latest Youtube video, you saw that I was packing for this trip like crazy. I figured it would be freezing since it is late October and the Upper Peninsula is usually colder, well I was wrong. It was so warm that at one point. McKenzie and Kasey were walking around in their tank tops. Well despite the perfect weather we had, this trip will go down as OUR TRIP FROM HELL. Would you like to know why? Well take a gander at exhibit A…..
