True Confessions of a Plant Hoarder
Really, I enjoy gardening because I like playing in the dirt! I think I have a problem. In my desperate attempt to get things to grow in my garden and with my love for all things green and flowery, I think I have become a plant hoarder. Let me back up just a bit. When…

Vegetable & Flower Gardens – Progress to Date
It’s high time for a gardening update! I had a very late start to my garden this year, due to the unusually long winter that we experienced here in Michigan. I started some of my seeds indoors in March, but wasn’t able to plant my “early spring” seeds outside until April 21st (I really need…

April (Snow) Showers Bring May Flowers
Snow storm on April 19th I’m going to be honest: I have complained about the weather a LOT this year. January wasn’t bad, February was about on par with average, and I began to gear up for spring come March. You know the whole “in like a lion, out like a lamb” thing? Well, I’d…

The Journey of Life: The Greatest Adventure
Last year in my women’s bible study, we did an in-depth study of the book of Luke. I absolutely loved it and felt very challenged by the teachings of Jesus. I touched on this a bit in my post on Discipleship, but I really felt God challenging me to understand and take to heart the…

Catching Up with Life & Changing the World

Brew Blog: Thom Bomb Brewery
Okay, so this isn’t actually a stop on our brew tour, but it’s something I have to share. Last year, Tom attempted to brew his own beer for the first time. He enjoyed the process and actually ended up making three different batches. I think the first batch may be all gone now, but he…

Brew Blog: Perrin Brewing Company
Friday night we went to Perrin Brewing Company with a couple friends of ours. We had actually been there before, but it was before we officially started the Brew Tour, so, of course, we had to go again! This place is huge and has also been completely packed both times we went. Fortunately, our friends…

Brew Blog: Odd Side Ales
Tom and I made our second stop on our Brew Tour this past Sunday, on our way up to Montague where we were meeting some friends at a cabin for New Year’s. We were going to make a pit stop in Spring Lake at the Old Boys’ Brew House, but we missed our turn. Instead…

The Best of 2012
As the year comes to a close, I wanted to take a few minutes to remember some of the things we did and things that happened in 2012. I feel like it was a whirlwind of a year, but here’s a brief memoir of what I can remember from the activities done, people visited and…

Lake Superior Circuit
Tom and I were reminiscing last night about a trip we took two summers ago. I hadn’t yet started my blog at that point, but I wanted to share some videos and experiences from that trip here — so, sorry it’s two years late, but here’s an overview of our epic adventure around Lake Superior.…
