The Puppies play again! We lost, but it is definit The Puppies play again! We lost, but it is definitely a learning experience for Rune. He’s not a bad player but he gives up if he doesn’t score right away and gets upset for the rest of the game. Rune’s coach is great and one of the kid’s in his class is on his team and they have become buddies so it’s good for socialization. His sportsmanship needs some work but  for only $60 for the whole season we can afford to figure it out. The big question is, will Rune play again next season? #soccerlife #soccermom #soccerboy

Last minute we signed Rune up to play #kidssoccer Last minute we signed Rune up to play #kidssoccer and today was his first game. He did really well at dribbling and kicking but got overwhelmed by all the kids getting close to him and trying to kick the ball. Tears were shed and hand balls were a plenty. I’m not even sure if his team won or not but it was adorable yet hilarious to watch these little guys. Shout out to lil miss Natalie who scored the most goals and ran circles around the boys.  Will Rune give soccer another try? Stay tuned for next week when the Clawson Puppies play again xoxo.#clawsonmichigan  #clawsonsoccer Also, thanks to both sets of grandparents for attending! After the game we got some Pokémon toys for Rune at @noblefishsushi and ate burgers and chicken strips @detroitburgerbar Also, #gogreen 😍🥳

Lola is the cutest lil stinker. She does what she Lola is the cutest lil stinker. She does what she wants. She climbs everything. When she is done eating, we have to be fast or else she throws her food on the floor. She karate chops her brother. She already knows how to punch without being taught. But when she wraps her arms around me and calls me “pretty mama” I know she’s really an angel sent from above👼

Gemma is settling in at home and we are taking tim Gemma is settling in at home and we are taking time to rest and relax after family visited. We are getting Rune ready to start kindergarten which sounds crazy. My maternity leave winds down in September so I want to enjoy the time I have left and plan some fun activities.  Everything revolves around breastfeeding/pumping which is actually going really well. It took my body having 3 kids to figure it out. 🤷🏼‍♀️ yay me! #newbaby
Yahoo Baby Gemma is home!! She still has a feeding Yahoo Baby Gemma is home!! She still has a feeding tube in but that’s ok!  She stayed up the first half of the night adjusting to her new home so I’m very tired but happy. Lola adores her and Rune is being very nurturing because he wants to be a good big brother. All in all it’s pure chaos but once we get into a new routine, things will settle down! #newbaby

    A Closer Look at Jack White’s Third Man Records (Photos of Orlando Calling, Commentary, and Recommendations)

    November 20, 2011 / 1 Comment

    Jack White III grew up in Southwest Detroit as one of ten children. He flirted with the idea of life careers in priesthood and upholstery, but instead became the frontman for The White Stripes, The Raconteurs, and The Dead Weather. He has also created the most innovative record label that is doing great things for music. Third Man Records was originally created in Detroit in 2001, but didn’t have a physical location until 2009 in Nashville, TN. The location offers a record store, a record label, photo studio, dark room. recording booth, production office, distribution center and a performance space. When talented artists are passing through Nashville, Jack White invites…

    The Raconteurs at Voodoo Fest in New Orleans (Photos, Setlist & Concert Review)

    November 2, 2011 / 2 Comments

    Members: Jack White, Jack Lawrence,Brendan Benson, Patrick Keeler http://theraconteursfans.com http://www.theraconteurs.com Voodoo Fest was wise to have The Raconteurs close out the main stage, because their performance was the best of the weekend. During the show, Jack White remarked that he had been in Detroit the day before and that his hometown, New Orleans, and Memphis all had the same kind of vibe. After “Rich Kid Blues” Jack silenced the crowd with a dark, dirty, ever-so-slow guitar solo preceding “Blue Veins” that showed the mesmerized crowd that he was indeed a true original. During his solo, his head tilted slightly and a small smile crept across his face as if he was thinking…

    The Black Belles @ MI Fest (Photos & Review)

    September 26, 2011 / 4 Comments

    The Black Belles could be seen throughout the day checking out different performances at MI Fest. Meanwhile many festival attendees had the Black Belles slated as one of the top new groups that they wanted to see at the festival. Jack White discovered the group and is helping them to make their presence known with the release of an album in November. Smart move Jack! The girls impressed the crowd with their modern blend of grunge and soul. Photographing them was a blast with their striking good looks and strong stage presence. Check out the photos… The Black Belles

    Photos of the Moment: The Third Man Rolling Record Store!

    September 25, 2011 / 0 Comments

    It’s been a week since MI fest and I’m still reflecting on the great mix of music that I heard. The Third Man Records Rolling Record Store was another great part of the MI Fest experience. It’s hard to imagine that one little ‘ol truck can bring about such excitement but it was the first thing I looked for upon entering the MI Fest grounds. One of the cool things that Third Man Records is doing is inviting selected artists that are traveling through Nashville to stop at Third Man Studio and record a single which is then made available on 7″ vinyl. All of these singles and more were…

    September 20, 2011 / 0 Comments

    Puhol, another one to watch from Third Man Records, describes his music as “Southern Gothic Rock.” The label’s site has an amusing bio well worth sharing… “Pujol was raised in Tullahoma, TN where he lived in a haunted house which sat one block away from the wrong side of the tracks.  He spent his formative years scribbling on walls, shredding behind closed doors, and riding around in cars with older kids.  He took his first communion at 13 and secretly drank his first beer shortly thereafter in St. Cecilia’s bathroom, emerging an identity-inclusive Peter Panentheist. When asked at the tender age of 4 what he wanted to be when he…
