Fall means apple season here in Michigan. So, when grandma was here for the last week, we decided to put the peck I purchased to use and make apple crisp, one of my favorite treats (and even better than apple pie in my opinion). We followed a simple recipe I’ve made a few dozen times. […]
Generations in Parshallville
Here in metro Detroit, we are lucky to have several cider mills within an hour’s drive. My favorite one is the Parshallville Cider Mill, just outside Fenton. It’s very simple and may not be much to some, but it’s the one I grew-up with and have the most fond memories of. Each fall growing up, […]
Where I’m From
I am from peace and quiet, from Old English to polish the antique furniture and line-dried clothes, lovingly hung with wooden clothespins. I am from a dirt road, where grass grows long, sticks crack under your feet as you walk and the scent of burning leaves fill the air. I am from the lilac bush, […]
Date Night Idea: A Grand Rapids Getaway
About a month ago my hubby surprised me with a fabulous idea…to plan a night out to celebrate our 3rd anniversary…finally (our anni is in June). After we lined up grandma to babysit for the eve, I was off to planning. I knew he might want to go somewhere scenic, but I really just wanted to […]

So, I decided I would tackle religion today… I am a fairly […]

I met Tara awhile back at a local volunteer project. Right away I could tell I liked her – her warm persona and smile is contagious. After following her for a few years on Twitter, I got curious about what all she’s involved with and decided to sit down with her to chat about her […]
The Best of Life’s Pleasures
My hubby left the comfort of his first job last week. After spending almost 5 years in one place, he was ready to move on. It will be a step forward, yet this step isn’t about a promotion. It’s about our quality of life. He’s an accountant (no, he does not do taxes!), so with this position, […]
Heavenly Scent Herb Farm in Fenton, Michigan
I love exploring new places…especially beautiful little places that don’t cost a dime to get into. One such place I discovered thanks to my mom last week was Heavenly Scent Herb Farm in Fenton, Mich. We had fun roaming the gardens and taking photos. Here are some of my favorite shots from the day. Have […]
