Michigan Women's Football Academy 2014!

Today I had the time of my life at the WFA! We ran drills and finished with scrimmages at the Big House. We were coached by the coaches and players, and they were all awesome and patient and encouraging. We had a blast and can't wait to do it again next year! Go Blue Beat Ohio!

Memories.

Thinking about the stuff my sister and I had to deal with that my son and niece will never experience makes me very emotional. And grateful that we had the opportunity and determination to make better lives for ourselves and our children.

Beating the odds.

Some of our tulips survived that last bit of snow. 

Happy 5th Birthday Nick!

Nick turned 5 on April 3! I can't believe it. He had many awesome birthday celebrations. We had the preschoolers over for cupcakes, took cookies and milk to school, went to Chuck E Cheese with Aunt Krystyn and Uncle Zack, and had a family party today! So many fun celebrations. 

Week One: Vegan.

I've done ok. I'm not hungry. Convenience foods are hard to come by. I've missed chicken, bacon, and macaroni and cheese. But I haven't been truly tempted yet. 

Stitch Fix.

There's a mail-order personal styling service called Stitch Fix. You fill out a personal style profile and link to your Pinterest style board. You pay $20 and a stylist will put together a box for you with clothes and accessories hand-picked for you and mail it to your house. They also include styling cards so you have ideas for outfits with what they send. If you keep anything, the $20 fee is credited towards your purchase. If you keep everything, you get 25% off. I received my first Fix on Monday. A blouse $28, a skirt $28, a necklace $32, a dress $88, and skinny jeans $78. I kept the blouse and dress. I already signed up for another Fix! What a great idea!
