(Left to right, top to bottom: 1. So excited to be in our new home!, 2. Pure Michigan road trip, 3. New house = yard = I bought a lawn mower, 4. The most sinfully-delicious cheesecake I’ve ever personally demolished, 5. Looking through fences on Belle Isle, 6. Sunset gazing in St. Joseph, 7. Chowing down on THE best toffee ever, 8. A change of venue means back to the drawing board (a.k.a., IKEA), 9. Intricate designs like this are SO Detroit, 10. Mashing together some guacamole in my new kitchen!, 11. Found the prettiest flowers the other day in Frankenmuth, 12. I LOVE this pillow!, 13. Cheesing at the Belle Isle Conservatory fountain, 14. New entryway rug (it’s starting to feel like home!), 15. Brad tries to break everything on move-in day, 16. Driving through downtown Detroit)
As you may have heard, Brad and I recently bought a house (of our very own!) and have been spending lots of time getting used to the change of pace. We’ve spent many hours cleaning our old apartment (thank GOODNESS that’s done) and searching through boxes for anything and everything at our new place. It’s a little chaotic, but I wouldn’t expect anything less. Thankfully, we’ve also managed to find some time here and there to enjoy the last legs of summer before it completely disappears from Michigan.

As the mess lessens, I hope to share some photos of ongoing projects as we make this new house our home. In the meantime, it’s back to organizing if I ever want to find the rest of my wardrobe.
P.S. – New Awesome Mitten post arriving next week! Catch up on my recent summer adventures here:
- John Williams and Steven Spielberg Visit Detroit for DSO Benefit – (This was SUCH an amazing night and opportunity! Hollywood glamour right in Downtown Detroit)
- 8 Reasons to Visit the Allegan Antiques Market – If you haven’t been to Allegan for some great antiquing, you’re missing out. This is THE place to go for unique trinkets and mitten-state memorabilia!
- Why I Love Walled Lake – No single post could do this place justice, but a few kind words never hurt anyone. Here, I give my tips for spending a day at several surrounding sites.
