I was lucky as a child to grow up near Lake Michigan. My brother and I spent many a Summer day building sand castles and swimming in the usually chilly (but fun) water. Now, as an adult, I realize how amazing it is to live in an area that has so much beachfrontage, and it makes me appreciate our state that much more!

This is my third pregnancy, and I still feel completely surprised sometimes at the things that are happening to my body because every pregnancy is truly different.

Many districts in the area have adopted the ALICE training philosophy. Instead of the lockdown drills of the past, we are now following Alert, Lockdown, Inform, Counter, and Evacuate. 

Especially now that the weather is nicer and windows are open, my neighbors will truly be privy to my “mum voice”.  It’s a voice that even makes me cringe.
