Most folks would agree that finding your first Petoskey stone is a Michigander rite of passage. But do you know exactly what a Petoskey stone is? A fossil! Specifically, a fossil of long-gone Hexagonaria coral. This coral lived in prehistoric Michigan, when waters were warm, shallow, and even tropic! Once the Hexagonaria coral had fossilized into the Petoskey stones we know today, they were plucked from ancient Michigan bedrock by glaciers, and spread all over the state as the glaciers melted and moved.
You can learn even more about our famous state rock in the Petoskey Stone Guide by Dan R. Lynch. Check our website at www.shoppeninsulas.com for a special offer, bundling the field guide and a genuine polished Petoskey stone into one gift! Perfect for out of towners who want to learn more about this fascinating fossil, or Michigan natives who want to up their rock-hunting game. 📸: lindzjoy1188

I love this quote from the Tao Te Ching.
-
Remember, energy comes to us in stillness with breath. So does health and healing…
-
If you are constantly in motion, stressed out, and in 6th gear then you WILL burn out faster.
-
Take care of yourself this season. Take care of your tribe.
-
Breathe and relax with each other.
-
Slow down and savor the most important presents which is your “presence” with each other. -

Dreaming of spending time in Michigan's magical Hemingway country this summer. I missed last summer after years of annual pilgrimages. Not this year! The stuff of bookish dreams ...
This is my all-time Hemingway quote. Isn't it lovely?
Have you been to a Hemingway site?
Made it back from Michigan and so glad we finally got to meet these two amazing humans! wolfandbear.co

Thousands of residents are still without power after the ice storm hit over two weeks ago, March 28th-30th.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to those who have been and are still being affected.
Thank you to all of the utility workers who continue to work around the clock to restore power.
Pray for Michigan 🙏🏼💙

We were stunned to have a very special group of readers come by the store for a visit today! Vice Presidential candidate timwalz his wife Gwen, & daughter Hope stopped by the store to peruse our shelves.
Tim talked with Matt about some of his favorite reads which included Andy Weir’s “Project Hail Mary,” and Adrian Tchaikovsky’s “Children of Time.” And in return, Matt suggested he pick up “Recursion” by Blake Crouch and Reilly shared her passion for “Red Rising” by Pierce Brown!
Hope found our vinyl section and picked up “Dope Lemon” and TSwift’s “1989.”
Thank you to the Walz family for taking the time to come by the store and making this a moment we will never forget. It was an honor to meet ALL of you!
PS: Of course it was Taylor’s Version and yes, Governor Walz is reading True Gretch! 😉

Speaking of hidden gems 💎 ....... On our recent trip to Petoskey State Park, I had wanted to go out to Harbor Point and the Little Traverse Lighthouse and do some exploring. We took the short drive to Harbor Springs, and as we got to this peninsula, we were told that the whole thing is private property. ☹️☹️. So we found a nice spot in the harbor and let my drone do its thing 🔥🔥.
The secret's out: Northern Michigan is your next bucket list travel spot (especially in the summer). And let's be honest, the towns that line the top of the mitten have a lot of offer. From expansive deep waters, to thriving forests and charming small towns, there's never a shortage on things to do here. So in honor of our latest book drop and the people who call Northern Michigan home, we're keen on sharing a few of our favorite small businesses peppered in and around Petoskey, MI. Save this post for your next (or first, no judgement here) trip to this Great Lakes haven.
📍symonsgeneralstore
Gourmet goods, Michigan-made mustards, pretzels.
📍shedfinegoods
Contemporary and abstract art, local and imported goods.
📍americanspoon

Hello from the other side of Lake Michigan! I’ve been doing some *serious* vacation reading up here and I started and finished THE SILENT PATIENT yesterday. 👀📖 Thrillers are my jam when I’m lounging on the beach or in a cabin and lots of people recommended this one on my thriller post a few weeks back. I serendipitously found it in a Little Free Library a few days ago! •
•
Review-wise, i though it was entertaining but I didn’t love it. To me, it was a forgettable thriller, even though the concept is very intriguing. The twist was delivered in a kinda meh way and the plot requires some suspension of disbelief around the law and around certain characters behaviors. However, I know a lot of you love this book, so let’s chat about it! 👇🏼👇🏼
•
💭 do any of you also like to read thrillers on vacation?💭
The warmer weather has us excited to start beachcombing again! Where is your favorite place to find #petoskeystones in Michigan?

It’s no secret that we’re road tripping right now. We are staying in Petoskey, Michigan for the next 2 nights. While looking for coffee this morning in the clubhouse, I found a “take a book, leave a book” shelf! Unfortunately every book I have with me is one I haven’t read so I can’t participate...unless I manage to get a book read in the next 48 hours!
.
See any good ones here I should work extra hard to swap for?

On a chilly mid May morning we were preparing to work outside all day, I squinted to see a faint second line on a pregnancy test. ⠀
⠀
I hid it in a drawer and went outside. “Too early to get excited” I told myself. But I was so excited already.
⠀
So all summer, the dahlias, the garden, the plants- it meant more to me. I was obsessed. A history of loss gives you a real grip on anxiety during those first few months so when the dahlias were doing well I did some magical thinking that I was doing well. ⠀
⠀
Another week I kept the garden alive. Another week I stayed pregnant. ⠀
⠀
When the zinnias floundered I wondered if it was some weird ass sign. ⠀
⠀
But more so than grasping for control in a patch full of plants, they were my marker. My timeline. Of how slow, and painstakingly patient ya gotta be. And a reminder for the 2938373272th time that my thoughts & anxieties do not have to be truths. ⠀
⠀
We are expecting another baby this winter. We are overjoyed. There is no part of my fertility journey that has ever followed the obsessive, control freak timeline I set out for our 'family plan' 5 years ago- but forced going with the flow has been both the biggest lesson & gift in all of it. ⠀
⠀
To my sisters who this announcement meets in the trenches of your 'waiting period' I see you. I was you. There is a lot of light on the other side- and I promise you the shitty wait doesn't define your life but the strength you gained will. ⠀
⠀
Clinks to our little Wolfpack, we are so excited. ⠀
⠀
