The front panel of our fridge popped out on the drive from Dollar Bay to Munising. And we actually had to take the handle off in order to pop it back in.

Sauna mornings and sauna nights is the routine her Sauna mornings and sauna nights is the routine here in the Upper Peninsula.  Even my toddler settles right in (on the bottom level, of course) like she’s known this her whole life. She may be only 1/8th Finn, but she def got the sauna gene. 

The sauna has become this warm, steady addition to our days, a pause we all look forward to. 

And...If a sauna company wants to sponsor our little ritual, the door’s open… just not the sauna door, we don’t want the heat escaping.

Also, it's hard to throw water on the rocks while holding a phone.

Why is it that I get more work done from my nomadi Why is it that I get more work done from my nomadic office(s) than my regular? Is it because there is a beautiful lake to my right? Is it because I'm outside with a little sunshine on my back? Is it because I'm more intentional with my work? 

I don't know. But I've missed the nomadic work life and glad to be living it again, even if only for a month.

Now I'm not saying it will stop my daughter from pushing the screen out, but it is an extra barrier. 

Also, it will definitely stop my dog from not realizing there is a screen there and just going outside (which he's tried to do a few times).
