Enchanted Forest Bedroom!
Where The Wild Things Are themed room! Inspired by the Enticing woods of Idlewild Michigan, the Forest Reserves of Hawai’i, the rainforest and the Best Book Ever… “Where The Wild Things Are” In Hawai’i, we have the most beautiful Banyon trees. They captivate and sway you into a sense of awe. The way they stretch out and spread like they have a history of secrets just waiting to be unfolded. In Idlewild, Mi we have Beautiful and bold birch, Jack Pine, and sugar male trees that tell a tale all their own. Each type of tree holds an inviting world of possibilities… From climbing to, bearing wood for warmth and…

Nature’s Refuge
Simplicity in a time of chaos. In today’s times it is so abundantly clear that there are not enough hours in the day to accomplish all of the items on our to-do lists. Everyone seems to be racing at light speed to get here or there, shuttling kids to one gathering to another, impressing clients, or bosses to climb up the corporate ladder. While hurling through life at warp speed to reach goals and milestones, everyone seems to just be getting their actual life spoon fed to them by means of social media, phone messages and endless texts. Everything rushed, nothing truly appreciated. I enjoy and need my time walking,…

Appreciative of Good Deeds and Kind Hearts
Spreading Kindness and Joy! I would love to talk about sharing a piece of yourself with someone. Giving a thought, talent and or time to someone can show others you care more than you know. What may feel like a little gesture could end up meaning the world to someone else. I love it when strangers hold the door open for you and hold your glance with a kind gleam in their eye and likewise when, you do the same for them they respond with a thoughtful thank you that comes from the heart. Or when a person goes out of their way to ask someone how they are truly…

One-on-One Time
The end of summer is almost here. Time to grab school supplies, shake off last month’s sleep-ins, and plan for another busy school year. Before jumping back into the hectic routine, take some time to spend quality one-on-one time with every individual in the family! I think we take for granted family time and often assume that even though we are laughing, playing or eating together that means everyone is feeling connected. Schedule a movie date or walk in the park with your child or spouse where all of the intention is solely on them. Alone time provides a bonding experience that is unique in the sense that it is…

It’s time to relax, relate and release!
Ever look at a child’s face when they are handed their favorite double scoop special order of ice cream with brownie when they are going in for their first bite? Witnessed a baby figuring out the art of the magical peek a boo smile? Observed a chef’s reaction to tasting their utterly magnificent creation? A dancer’s locked in poise and resolve as they hit their groove? How about my very favorite, the look on a child’s face along with their parents reaction to walking the great pathway on main street towards Disney Worlds magic castle. These are all moments of sheer bliss that transcend thoughts, stress and reason. They are true…

Mexican Arroz Con Pollo
Inspired by an amazing night out on the town in Cancun, Mexico While on our way to scout a potential site to open a Del Sol store in a sleepy little village and cruise port town of costa Maya, We first disembarked in Riviera Maya, Cancun Mexico. This colorful and vibrant city is beautiful and bustling. A mecca for tourism and a mixture of old world charm give the city a very unique and appealing draw. Colin and I were taken aback by the amazing smells and inviting smiles that permeated the air. There were so many lovely restaurants to take in and sights to see and enjoy. One night,…

Taking a few steps back to take giant leaps forward
I’m sure we have all been in a position where we have felt like we are hitting our head against a huge roadblock brick wall that can’t be penetrated. You know that feeling that no matter how fast you’re running your legs seem like jelly and you just can’t seem to get to the finish line. Sometimes it is in these exact moments when we need to take advice from our dear friend the tortoise and pause or even slow down to the point of shutdown. Now this doesn’t mean quitting the race, more like stopping to take a deep breath, grab water, and just breathe. For some, this is…

Weekend Exploration in your own backyard!
So often we hear people saying that “Until guests come to town, they never experience or take advantage of their own city in which they live. It is so easy to give into routine and shuffle from school/work/kids sports or regular trips to the store and hobbies, that we often neglect the benefits and events in our own radius. Always dreaming or planning to venture off somewhere that we are not can sometimes lead to not seeing and appreciating the beauty of where we are now. I have spoken to several people who live in New York, who have never been to the Statue of Liberty, The top of the…

Selecting your corporate soul mate….
Corporate Cleaning Group… As many of you know who have kept up with us over the years, we are true entrepreneurs and adventurists at heart. A large part of what we are able to do and how we are able to visit and live in many places was taking the leap many years and prioritizing our life goals and living according to quality of life instead of working just to earn a check, but not fully being able to enjoy it. We often talk about pursuing your life goals instead of job goals. Because the two may not be the same. You may not wake up one day with a…
