I’m not saying it’s going to be easy. Changing your habits can be hard, especially if you don’t really want to.
The holidays can be a loving and wonderful time of year. So why does it seem to get overwhelming and stressful? The pressure of gifts, money, where you’re going, what you’re doing, the list goes on for what seems like forever! The holidays have been my favorite time of year since […]

This year has definitely been different to say the least, and no one knows what our new normal will look like. Going into the colder months, we are going to be spending more time indoors and many holidays may look quite a bit different this year. Halloween is up next […]
Easter brunch may look and feel a little different this year. Since we all should stay home due to COVID-19, gathering with family and friends on Easter is likely not happening for us this year… we are safer at home, after all. But, we can still enjoy good, local food […]

Thanksgiving – a day of forgiveness…..no it’s a day of being thankful. A day gratitude and blessings and being with friends and family. If you didn’t get my Friends reference, you may not understand some of my jokes in this post, but try to follow along and use the images as reference.

It is here! Our most anticipated guide of the year! The Lake Country Holiday Shopping + Gift Guide for 2019, brought to you by The Lake Country Mom + amazing small and locally run businesses.
Lake Country in October is one of my favorite times of year. The fall colors and crisp air seem to turn our little corner of the world into an even more magical place to live. While I love to throw back a Pumpkin Spice Latte, take a stroll through a bucolic storybook apple orchard or light up my autumn leaves scented candles and fully embrace sweater weather with the best of them, there’s also something to be said for getting into the spooky side of October as well. In my opinion, no one does Halloween quite like Lake Country.
Summer is approaching the end. Stores are busting out their fall decor. What is happening? That is right…pumpkin picking season is coming! All things fall are on the way! Pumpkins, apples, hayrides, fall colors, cozy sweaters, boots and the smell of burning leaves! We are so lucky to live in […]

I’m back! Did you miss me? I guess that’s what happens when I take a full course load and let
In our opinion, it’s the unexpected gifts that make the biggest impression. The ones that are handmade; the ones that are from the heart; the ones that tell a story. Buying local and handcrafted is rewarding for the gift-giver, the recipient, and the maker.
