"Hiking" with my little elf and his sister in AZ. 🌵🌞




❤️

Took the kiddos downtown to see the tree and get in the Christmas spirit! 🎄

Their favorite thing was the Zamboni! 🧊

Dropped some freshly signed copies of ABCDetroit at 💚

Detroit deserves to have all children grow up knowing what an awesome city it is!

ABCDetroit is a rhyming picture book about the places and things we love about Detroit for kids age 2 - adult. 💚

Fall 🧡❤️💛🤎

The joy of blowing up the Halloween decorations each day! 🎃

This weekend we're busy making Halloween costumes! A wanted to be a purple pumpkin 💜 and C wanted to be a green crane truck again. 💚

Our neighborhood is organizing a socially distanced Halloween for the kids. What are your Halloween plans?!

These two. ❤️

Today my son headed to spend a night with my parents = quality time for each kiddo.

As we were packing clothes (and toys!) I overhead my son say to A "You can call me if you miss me."

❤️😭❤️😭❤️

They grow up so fast. And I'm so grateful for their bond.

Have you been to the Halloween Museum?! 🎃

JK - Huge thanks to Lowe's stores for getting their Halloween decorations out TWO months early. 🤪

My kids are losing their minds excited over all the yard decor. 🎃 💀

Can't say I'm ready for fall yet... but their excitement is pretty catchy!

We've been loving the Metro Parks!

This kiddo spotted a turtle covered in moss, never saw that before. 🐢

This girl's favorite way to help is with a spray bottle.

Just look at her face assessing if she used enough spray. (Answer - never enough!)

Glad I switched to plant based cleaners years ago so I don't have to worry what she's exposed to while helping.

What's your kiddos favorite way to help out around the house?!

Biked at the metro park this morning with the kiddos on their double bikes.

My legs sure feel the 8 miles I biked pulling my three year old who doesn't like to pedal. 🤣

Great workout, great Michigan scenery.

Blueberry picking and eating this morning!

My sister and I grew up picking with our Grandpa early on summer mornings so it was great to finally take my own kiddos.

They def ate more than they put in their buckets!

Now, suggestions on what to do with 10 # of blueberries?! I'm thinking blueberry preserves to put on homemade ice cream... 🍨
