Life in Michigan's Upper Peninsula

Fashion Friday {2/3 – 2/7}

Finally... Friday! It's been a long week. I didn't get home until after 10 on both Tuesday and Thursday so I am just exhausted! Picking out my outfits the night before has been so important because it saves those precious moments in bed in the morning. Here are the week's … [Read more...] about Fashion Friday {2/3 – 2/7}

WIAW – Game Day Eats

Another Wednesday, another WIAW! I feel like I was just typing up last Wednesday's post. Here is what I eat when I have a basketball game! I try not to have any new foods on a game day - don't want to upset the stomach!  Breakfast Lately my thing has been to take my overnight oats to … [Read more...] about WIAW – Game Day Eats

Black Bean and Sweet Potato Burgers

I am one of those people that when I make a recipe, I don't plan anything out beforehand. I'm always scrambling to get the spice or ruining my omelette because I'm chopping when it's time to add. Anyone with me? I need to get better at that. I wasn't sure how these burgers were gonna … [Read more...] about Black Bean and Sweet Potato Burgers

Weekend Snapshots

Not too busy of a weekend over here, but that's how I like it! It's still pretty cold so I'm hoping these 6 more weeks of winter we're having are gonna go by quick. It's Monday, which means time for some marvelous! Here's some pics from the weekend. Snowcoming on Friday   Saturday … [Read more...] about Weekend Snapshots

Snowcoming 2014

It was such a fun snowcoming week! Snowcoming is just like Homecoming... but in the winter! I think some people call it Spirit Week? Monday and Tuesday were snow days, so I didn't get to dress up those days. Wednesday | Decades Day Thursday | Tropical Thursday Friday | Hippie/Tie … [Read more...] about Snowcoming 2014

WIAW – Snow Day Eats

It's my first day back at school in 5 days. Teacher in-service on Friday, and snow days Monday and Tuesday. I've been enjoying my time off! Well, at least there's only 3 days until the weekend. Snow day eats are so much better than on a regular school day since I don't have to prepare 2 of my 3 … [Read more...] about WIAW – Snow Day Eats

Skinny Greek Yogurt Tuna Salad

So. I think I'm all cool now, now that I have a fancy schmanzy camera.    I think you're going to be seeing a lot more recipes here. Is that okay? I guess I'm on a tuna kick. First the tuna cakes, now this tuna salad made with Greek yogurt that you can't even tell is lightened up. You … [Read more...] about Skinny Greek Yogurt Tuna Salad

No school, New camera, and Happy Blogiversary!

Snow day! Woohoo! Snow days on Monday are the best. I didn't have school on Friday either, so 4 day weekend, whaddup?! It's not really a snow day, but a windchill day - it's supposed to get -45 degrees today. Ugh... anyway, there has been so much marvelous going on lately... without further … [Read more...] about No school, New camera, and Happy Blogiversary!

One Year Blogiversary! {Giveaway}

I can't believe it's been a whole year since I started my blog! I've changed so much since last January. I've had a lot of ups and downs during the last year but they made me who I am today! I don't even remember my life before blogging... Facebook? MySpace? Webkinz? Here is a post with everything … [Read more...] about One Year Blogiversary! {Giveaway}

Fashion Friday {1/20 – 1/23}

Happy National Peanut Butter Day!! Is there a better holiday suited for bloggers? I'm determined to have peanut butter at every meal today (not that that should be a problem!). I have the day off since exams ended yesterday. Although it could have been a snow day - it's so cold outside! Here … [Read more...] about Fashion Friday {1/20 – 1/23}

Tuna Cakes with Greek Yogurt Dill Sauce

No traditional WIAW today because, frankly, I've been eating the same thing since Saturday. Leftover pasta is the name of the game! Hopefully, this will be the last recipe I share that is taken with an iPhone. The reason? I bought a camera! A Canon Rebel T3i, to be exact! I've been … [Read more...] about Tuna Cakes with Greek Yogurt Dill Sauce

MIMM – Birthday filled Weekend

Life really has been marvelous lately! Some highlights... My birthday! Obviously :D you can read a whole recap here! Marvelous... I got a job! A local church needed a piano player so they called me up. I'm going to play once a month (possibly more) and yesterday was my first time! … [Read more...] about MIMM – Birthday filled Weekend
