Lake Life

Three day weekends rock my socks. We spent the weekend up at my mom’s lake house and it was awesome…..mostly because my mom is amazing and took care of us all weekend and I finally got a little rest and relaxation in. Mental note: be just like my mom.
And I rocked the “lake look” all weekend….aka had chubby feet and hands, didn’t wear makeup, and didn’t do my hair. So no cute pics of me. 
But I did manage to get a quick pic of my husband and Hudson on the kayak….Hudson lasted a whole 3 minutes before asking to get out. And then that’s all he talked about all weekend. Little stinker. He also scored big time in the toy car department when my mom and husband went garage saleing while Hudson and I napped. This boy has it made. 
As if he needed any more toys. I’ve mentioned before that my mom kept a bunch of my old toys…and I’m so glad she did. It makes my heart happy to see him loving the things I used to love. Can you spot the pound puppy and care bear?
I also took advantage of some weekend online sales and ate my weight in homemade chocolate chip cookies. Such an amazing weekend!
I hope you had a restful and enjoyable weekend!

    Lake like is amazing life, right? We always go to the lake in the summer and I love it so much. Less people go to the lake so I like it more than the beach :)!

    My mom kept a bunch of my toys for my kiddos too. Now that they're older, I've saved them for their kids!!! They sure don't make toys like they used to!

Thankfully our Scout Elf, Spike, showed up this morning with an @elfontheshelf official Scout Elf Carrier and an Elf Pets Official Carrier for our reindeer too! Now our North Pole pals can safely travel with us wherever we go! The kids had so much fun taking their pals on a winter walk to enjoy the snow! And see that cute little stowaway in Belle’s arms? Meet the Bogie – a brand new friend from the North Pole who is ready for some love and adventures! I just love enjoying all of these magical moments with my kids. It really does not get any better than this! #elfontheshelf #elfpets
#ad It’s that time of year! Time to make sure yo #ad It’s that time of year! Time to make sure your child is up to date on their well-child visits and vaccines! As the chief advocate for my kids, I always want to make decisions that are the best for them and for our family. There isn’t anything I wouldn’t do for these little loves of mine, and I know all of you can relate! That is why I vaccinate my kids. Vaccinating your child is one of the safest and most effective things you can do to protect them against serious preventable diseases. If you live in Michigan like we do, it’s time to schedule that well-child visit and make sure your kids are up to date on their vaccinations! I’ve done a lot of research and talked to our pediatrician at length about what is best for my family and I would encourage you to do so too. It’s normal to have questions—it makes you a good parent! But make sure you are getting answers from credible sources. Remember, vaccines are safe, effective, and help protect everyone. Ultimately I decided to vaccinate my children because not doing so puts them at risk of contracting a potentially deadly disease. I want the best for my kids. If you have questions or need a reliable resource, check out @IVaccinateMI for information and tools based on real medical science and research to help Michigan parents protect their kids from vaccine-preventable diseases.
