Newsflash: Last week I had an unwarranted pity party. It started during my 5-hour drive home from the UP after a weekend of bonding with women at a 3-day Becoming an Outdoor Woman camp (more on that experience in a different post). I left the camp recharged and excited about life. But then, I had…… Continue reading Predator Round-Up, Sea Cave Mayhem, Playing Hookie and an Unwarranted Pity Party

The Ugly Truth: My Real Year-in-Review
This fall I contacted the talented Hannah of Stonehouse Photo to do family photos. I envisioned a warm, sunny day along the shores of Lake Superior with vivid red maples and golden oaks gently blowing in the background creating a backdrop Hallmark would envy. I should have known better. Instead, Lake Superior dealt up an…… Continue reading The Ugly Truth: My Real Year-in-Review
The Wild Waterfalls of Iron County, Wisconsin – Part III
The tough ones. I’m using tough in a generic sense. The falls I was able to find weren’t necessarily difficult to access or remote in terms of mileage on foot. However, they either involved fleets of steps, vague directions, or a lack of signage making it a bit of a hit or miss in terms…… Continue reading The Wild Waterfalls of Iron County, Wisconsin – Part III
The Wild Waterfalls of Iron County Wisconsin – Part II
The easy ones. Iron County has no shortage of water. The county boasts 300 crystal clear lakes covering 34,000 acres. To the north, the county line is Lake Superior. This creates the perfect storm of waterfalls—some easier to access than others. Upson Falls: Upson Falls is located within a well-maintained town park. The falls is…… Continue reading The Wild Waterfalls of Iron County Wisconsin – Part II
YOLO: The Wild Waterfalls of Northern Iron County, Wisconsin
This isn’t meant to be a political post. Over the course of the past year, news from Iron County has inundated my Facebook feed via a flurry of political, economic and environmental posts. The posts were often triggered by a proposed mine that may or may not ever happen. But buried within the posts were…… Continue reading YOLO: The Wild Waterfalls of Northern Iron County, Wisconsin
Amnicon Falls: The Unassuming State Park of the North
Amnicon Falls is one of those often overlooked but beloved state parks near my home in northwest Wisconsin. The park is small compared to nearby Jay Cooke State Park. It is often lost in the hype and marketing of the North Shore and the countless parks and waterfalls that dot the shoreline. By some respects,…… Continue reading Amnicon Falls: The Unassuming State Park of the North
Dear Jake
Dear Jake, I don’t scrapbook. I’ve discovered, despite my love for writing, I’m horrible at keeping up your baby book. But, like any new mom I managed to take lots of photos. I slapped them together in this video just in time for your birthday. I hope someday you can watch this and know you…… Continue reading Dear Jake
Meet Hannah
My first memory of Hannah Stonehouse Hudson is of a newspaper ad I saw many moons ago. It was an ad for her business that featured a wedding shot where the bride’s face was in focus and her dress was blurred from spinning in circles. Now knowing Hannah, it seems appropriate. Somehow, despite her entire…… Continue reading Meet Hannah
Celebrating 36 My Way
I turned 36 today. As of this moment, I’ve been an adult longer than a kid. I officially feel old. I thought this might kick in when I turned 30 but that was a breeze compared to today. Perhaps it is because I’m a new mom. Perhaps it is because I have now fully accepted…… Continue reading Celebrating 36 My Way
Apostle Islands Sea Caves Are Now Open to the Public
The Apostle Islands Mainland Sea Caves are now open! If you’ve never been, I highly recommend it. While lots of folks visit the Apostle Islands Sea Caves during the summer, winter is tricky because you never quite know if they are going to open. In fact, the last time they were safe to visit by…… Continue reading Apostle Islands Sea Caves Are Now Open to the Public
