In addition to our Mackinac trip, beach days and beach nights, there were a few more things that made our time in Michigan complete. I tackled the flights with four boys solo, knowing that a few hours onboard would be worth it for two weeks in Michigan. The trip came…
Last summer, we packed up and moved a whole whopping half of a mile. And it took us a year to recover. Nothing about our move was easy, starting with the house hunting process. We had a limited time frame to end the lease on our rental home and the…
