Memorial Day Weekend Giveaway

This weekend is the unofficial start of summer and there are lots of things happening around Michigan to celebrate. What are you planning on doing? Will you be heading to a parade on Monday to honor our veterans? Will you be having a bbq with family and friends? Will you be spending the weekend out on a lake?

Tell me what you're doing in the comments and you'll be entered to win a red, white and blue Michigan Mitten ornament! I'll pick one comment at random on Tuesday, June 1st!

**This is a sample. The color patterns of the actual ornament will vary.**

Yay, spring!

So, you may have noticed that I disappeared there for a bit...I apologize profusely. I was a little tired and icky there for awhile, because...there is a new Michigander on its way! Now that I'm feeling better and spring is finally trying to arrive, I promise to be around alot more!

On the way in the near future:
-a review of some local farm markets
-more artisan features
-news on local festivals and events
-other cool stuff that I find!

Thanks for your understanding and I'll "see" you soon!

Wordless Weekend- Almost Time for Baseball!

Tuesday Tidbit

Yesterday was world water day. We can be thankful here in Michigan that we have an abundance of water. Forty of Michigan's 83 counties touch at least one of the Great Lakes and we have over 11,000 inland lakes. Let's make sure we don't take our abundance for granted!

Toast N' Jams

Last weekend we were visiting my parents in Muskegon. They took us out to breakfast at the cutest little restaurant, Toast N' Jams. Unfortunately, I got there without my camera. :( It's not a huge place, but it's full of people and energy! It's got a cool retro feel, complete with a Route 66 mural. My husband and I had omelettes, which were both delish! My mom had stuffed hashbrowns and my dad had a belgian waffle with pecans. Yum! My son, well he had cocoa krispies...

It gets busy, so get there before or after the rush to avoid a wait. They're also open for lunch.

I've already decided that the next time we go there for breakfast, I'm trying the strawberry cheesecake pancakes!

OOPS!

OK, well, apparently I went through a time warp and lost a week! Sorry about that! I promise I'll be back next week with new posts!
