A curated journey through years of reading, ‘The Well Read Shelf’ showcases a personal collection of stories, insights, and adventures that have left their mark on my mind and heart.

Storytime Treasures is a lovingly curated collection of children’s books that spark imagination, laughter, and learning. From picture books to easy readers, these stories are perfect for sharing special moments, nurturing young minds, and creating lasting memories one page at a time.

There’s something special about a Northern Michigan summer…morning coffee on the dock, afternoons on the lake, sunset walks along the shoreline, and cool evenings around the campfire. This collection celebrates everything we love about life up north, from favorite destinations and hidden gems to clothing essentials, lake-day favorites, cozy cabin comforts, and practical travel finds. Whether you're headed to Traverse City, Mackinac Island, a family cottage, or your favorite beach, you'll find inspiration and recommendations to help you savor every sunny day and lakeside moment.
