Memory making & experiences above all else

Our next few days in Beaver Island were nothing short of awesome. Other than playing lawn games in the sand, we also took a little tour of the 14 mile long, 8 mile wide island. We found a giant rock, a crazy big Birch tree, and a another tree filled with shoes. We are not […]

“Most of the time, beauty lies in the simplest of things.” Our little 6 person plane landed and we knew we were in for one heck of a week in Beaver Island, Michigan. This trip is something that we look forward to every year over the 4th. We pack too much, we eat too much, […]

“Not all who wander are lost” In the sea of quotes out there on the Internet, this one currently stands as my favorite and serves as a good starting point for this little lifestyle series of mine that begins today. Being the broke college kid that I am, I find myself stretching every dollar I […]
