Meet Louise…
Thanks for stopping at our little blog! I’m Louise, and I’m currently in the “taxi” season of child raising, spending lots of time in my car but still loving the teenage years more than the toddler years. I love running, hiking, reading, good coffee (with good friends) and good salsa. I love northern Michigan in the summertime. In addition to time spent with my husband and three children, I also work in fundraising for a women and children’s center.

Stitch Fix – If you haven’t discovered this personal styling service in a box, it’s so fun.

The clothes are cute and fun and different, and mine fit so well! I love it.
