About

This Michigan Life celebrates life in The Mitten State. Beautiful and unique, there’s so much to love: the wild, northern woods, the soft, white sand beaches, the vast blue of the Great Lakes, the rolling farmlands, the cities filled with art and good eats. From travel tips to recipes to humor, follow along for Michigan goodness.

About Colleen

avatar15

I moved to West Michigan 18 years ago when I married my college sweetheart. First, I fell in love with the beautiful landscape, but I’ve also grown fond of the cities, towns, and even the snowy winters. One of my favorite things about living here is that the beach is always just a short drive away. Camping with my husband and two sons is my favorite way to explore Michigan. It’s hard to pick a favorite spot, but I could be happy sitting on a Lake Superior beach watching the waves roll in as the sun sets every night for the rest of my life.

    I am also a stay at home Mom. I have two boys. I was also a PK. I, in some ways, was like an only child as my 4 brothers were all older. Come by my blog and give your tips.

    Love your blog! I’m a SW Michigan mom of two young boys. I was thinking about starting my own blog. So I searched for Michigan Mom blogs and found yours. I absolutely love your sense of humor! Looking forward to reading more of your posts!

    I agree about the transition to SAHM from career lady! It’s rough… way rougher than most people tell you! You’ve inspired me to start writing on my blog again 🙂

    I just came across your blog today and let me tell you, you speak my language! I’ve read through most of your site and there is not one story I don’t relate with! I am a SAHM of three, ages 6, 4 and 1. Makes me think I’m not as crazy as I think I am, or at least I’m not alone if in fact I am crazy.
