A few michigan highlights

May 24, 2013

I was super excited to be home in the middle of May because I know that’s when the morels come out! I had big hopes of going on a mushroom hunt and finding the mother load. Mostly though I just took a lot of walks in the woods. I got about 10 mushrooms and found 3 ticks crawling around on me. Yuck! Luckily none of them were attached. Creepy.

-Oh I also found some wild leeks.
-my mushroom hunting outfit. You know so I could see the ticks on me.
-Mago wondering why I put him in a t-shirt.
-My morels!
-Little Molly B being cute.

Mother’s day

May 23, 2013

The blogging every day of May challenge has been keeping me busy but I still want to make sure I share some pictures of my recent trip to Michigan. Luckily I was able to book my trip so that I was home for mother’s day and that was really fun. I think it’s been at least 4 years since I’ve been able to do that. My sister was with us too and we went with my aunt to see my grandma jenny and have a picnic. It was a good day.

May project: my typical day

May 15, 2013

It’s day 15 in the blog every day challenge. Today’s prompt are showing photos from a typical day.

Currently I’m visiting family in Michigan so my day yesterday was anything but typical but I’ll share anyhow (also there are a lot of feet pictures). These were all taken with my iphone so the quality is perhaps not the best.

-My mom owns a salon and spa so I went into work with her to catch up on some blogging and try out an easy curl effect under the dryer.
-Then I took a lunch break (leftover vegan pad thai) and read a book.
-Then my mom sweetly offered to give my a much needed pedicure. I read a few magazines.
-I cuddled with my mom’s little dog a lot. We had some good laughs when I put my scarf on her.
-I went to jazzercise with my mom (she goes most days and is a little off her schedule with my visit).
-We made meatless tacos for dinner.
-And ate them outside until it got too chilly.
Then we lazied around and watched a few tv shows.

What’s a typical visiting family day like for you?
