I’m sharing updates from From my Neck of the Woods and what I’m loving to inspire your week ahead.

Highlights of the weekend:
- Visiting Houghton, Michigan for hockey games. We stayed at the preetiest hotel inside an old bank. The decor was amazing and inspired my shopping finds at the bottom of this post.
- Houghton is in the UP (Upper Peninsula) of Michigan. The UP has so many unique and special things about it.. The architecture of these once booming mining towns is fascinating and beautiful. I’m always thinking about what it must have looked like like when they were thriving.
- We love to eat pasties a meat and potato filled pastry miners would take for their lunches back in the day.
- We got updated photos of our new puppy. We are getting another Bernese Mountain Dog. She gets to come home the beginning of April.
We’ve also been following the developments in Ukraine. We adopted one of our sons there in 2014 when he was 10 years old. We spent three months there during the process and have lots of memories of time in his hometown and in Kyiv. Thank you for all the prayers and kind thoughts that have been sent to us, for him and his friends still in his homeland.
