About the middle of the week I find myself wondering what I’m going to do over the weekend with my family. I usually always come up with an exceptionally great list of ALL the things I want to do but somehow I only seem to accomplish one or two of them. This summer I’ve decided to do something out of the ordinary and worry less about the everyday things {dishes + laundry + cleaning bathrooms} that need to get done. I have realized that I need to spend more time enjoying my kids when they’re little and taking the time to reconnect with my husband {this is so important in a marriage}!! I’ve complied a list of some of the things happening in + around Detroit this weekend. Grab your family or just your husband! Just remember to take the time and eNjOy every minute of it!!!
