My name is Liz Ball. I am a freelance writer who loves travel, adventure, theater, art fairs, animals and the Mitten State. I have two Chihuahua dogs, Gucci and Tucker, who are my furkids and often go on adventures with me.

In May 2013, My husband and I loaded two moving trucks and our Subaru Outback with our belongings and moved across the country from California to Michigan. Being a native Michigander, we started our California adventure 13 years prior so moving back to Michigan was coming home. It was still a scary change; I traded a 17 year career at a wireless company and my first house to return and be close to family.

I dreamed of sharing a blog of adventures within the Mitten state and I am excited to be doing that now. This is a place for me to remember where I have been and where I want to go again. My adventures focus on travel and local activities within my community, however I will share stories and other new things to try like favorite recipes and crafts. I hope to inspire others to attend events and visit parts of Michigan they haven’t yet experienced.
