Picture perfect weather for our family beach trip to Michigan! I’ll be back dark and early on Thursday morning! Theo had been getting some good beach naps in the past few days.

Good Morning and Happy Friday! Our Friday is off to a sweet start with some treats brought by Mama Bear Bakery! Catch her story airing this morning and again at noon. (Nick Patrick’s favorite was the banana blueberry bread!🫐🍌) Who’s up with us this morning?☀️
