We have a tradition in my husband's family of hosting a big reunion sort of weekend every fall at the cabin. About 100 people of all ages gather to enjoy northern Michigan's beautiful fall colors and all the fun activities. The dads put on a haunted hayride and the teenagers do a haunted house. We also have a horseshoe tournament, costumes, pumpkin carving, bonfires & lots of awesome food. It is a great chance for all to appreciate family tradition and each other. The weather in October in Michigan is always a big gamble. We have had everything from summer weather to snow. This year we have rain - lots of rain like we didn't have all summer. But we bundle up and get the fires roaring and huddle together under canopies and in the barn and enjoy the closeness.
Come join me in the country as I navigate life as a working mom with an array of critters, kids and husband in tow! You'll find a little of everything - food and parties, kids and craft projects, gardening and outdoor fun, a top-to-bottom house renovation, family and traditions, community and women's issues. Grab your boots and let's get to it!

Sounds like fun!
