Sunset over Manitowish Lake, Manitowish Waters, WI It’s already the end of July. This is right about the time during summer when I feel like we’re over the hump and heading quickly toward Fall. I can sense it in the air. I’ve been living it up for the majority of the summer and now that [...]
This year, we are taking a family trip to The Dominican Republic. This is a trip we are taking with our infant and preschooler and our extended family. Of course, my mind started swimming with questions like: “How am I going to handle two kids on a trip to another country?“ “What do I need [...]
