Life in Michigan's Upper Peninsula

A Day in the Keweenaw

Three weeks of class are done already! The days seem really long, but the week as a whole goes by so fast. This weekend my family came up to visit! Grandma and grandpa haven't been up here in 30 years and it was my mom's first time up on top of the mountain which you'll see pictures of … [Read more...] about A Day in the Keweenaw

906 Day

Hello! I just finished my second day of classes. I've had chem, physics, global issues, and Air Force classes and I'm a little bit overwhelmed. I'm definitely still getting used to everything, and I'd like to do a post on my schedule when I'm more settled in. I don't have any homework (due tomorrow) … [Read more...] about 906 Day

California!

Tomorrow I'm leaving for college. It hasn't really hit me until today that this is the last day I'll go running in my favorite spot and hang out with my kitties and kayak in the backyard and all the little things that are part of home. It's not that I'll never be back again, but I'm starting a new … [Read more...] about California!

My College Plans and Why I’m Joining the Military

Hi friends! I just got home from camp and I'm headed off to California tomorrow (!!!) but I’d like to take this post to talk about my plans for the future. This is something I've been wanting to talk about for quite a while. I’m sure you are all shocked by the title!! It’s true. After I graduate … [Read more...] about My College Plans and Why I’m Joining the Military

Graduation!

I think I owe everyone an apology. For being the worst blogger ever...I don't even know if I can call myself that anymore. Anyway, I'd like to do a little life update! It's currently 2:46 am but I really want to get this up since it will be the last post for a while. (more on that later!) and I just … [Read more...] about Graduation!

Spring Break 2017 {LA}

I feel like I'm not allowed to make a post on my own blog. It's been so long. But if I don't, who will? I mean, I'm the one that pays for it... I don't know where it will go from here, but I miss posting so I'm hoping to get back into it a little! Over spring break I went to California! We … [Read more...] about Spring Break 2017 {LA}

Batterway Corn Muffins

A post? How rare. I was able to fit in some time this weekend to make some bread! As usual, a huge thank you to Red Star Yeast for sponsoring :) Cornbread is probably one of my favorite breads. Sweet, buttery, and delicious. These muffins are a little different as they don't have nearly as … [Read more...] about Batterway Corn Muffins

Posts will be few and far between, but … [Read more...] about Strawberry Banana Chocolate French Toast
