It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood!
The post below is sponsored by Goldfish Swim School Ann Arbor. There is something that has stuck with me since my friend said it: I wish my parents made me try more things growing up. She was shy and fearful as a child and didn’t give the impression she wanted to try new things. Looking back though, […]
I am a Hudsonville Ice Cream brand ambassador. All opinions expressed belong to me. Today is Detroit’s birthday. Pretty fun right? She is looking mighty fine for being 316 years old! To celebrate, Michigan-made Hudsonville Ice Cream set-up shop in Cadillac Square this afternoon to hand out FREE ice cream, host raffles, and celebrate the birth […]
One of our favorite annual traditions is picking blueberries at Hazen’s Farm in Howell, Michigan. First of all, blueberries are amazing to eat…Full of vitamins C and A and antioxidants. Second, they are SO easy to pick. Of all the u-pick fruit, this is my favorite with kids because it’s quick picking and there is […]
I am a Hudsonville Ice Cream brand ambassador. All opinions expressed belong to me. In 1984, then-President Ronald Reagan made one of the best decisions of his presidency: He made a proclamation to make Ice Cream Day and Ice Cream month a thing in July. For real — look it up. Ice cream is definitely […]
The post below is sponsored by Goldfish Swim School Ann Arbor. It has been more than a month since we started our swim journey with Goldfish Swim School, and we couldn’t be happier. My kids never protest when it’s time to head to swim class…and that’s SO incredible for my brood of complainers 😉 During the […]

No matter what community you live in and how prosperous it seems to be, there are still children failing to eat three meals a day. This is something that is a real issue during summer when free lunch programs provided by the schools are gone; which, for some children, is the only guaranteed meal for […]
The post below is sponsored by Goldfish Swim School Ann Arbor. If you follow me on Instagram, you may notice quite a few photos and videos near water. We live near lots of lakes, and my dad lives on one, so our family can often be found at the beach. The only thing is, my kids {ages 2, […]
It’s easy to not let summer boredom creep in…Just make a bucket list! I love these lists for reminding me of things I can do with the kids throughout the course of our special time together. Our weekends are filling up quickly with weddings and road trips, but we hope to take in some lazy days just […]
Fishing is one of those outdoor sports every child needs to experience. Even if the worms make you squirm or the fish make you queasy, there’s nothing like spending quality time together in nature! Each year, the state of Michigan hosts FREE Fishing Weekends in both the winter and summer. During this time, kids under the age […]

Since having a little boy, I’ve become a self-procliamed expert on an unlikely subject: Truck books. My toddler son loves being read to, but pretty much only if it’s a topic he enjoys. His favorite reads involve anything […]
There is nothing that screams SUMMER quite like a baseball game, right? Fortunately for us, there are a few options other than just the neighborhood kid’s little league game. In southeast Michigan, we have a few choices for watching ball — the Detroit Tigers, the United Shore Professional Baseball League in Utica and the Lansing Lugnuts. We try […]
Get out your pen and paper and mark your calendar for this family fun: Starting in June, check out FREE kids movies at Emagine Theatres in Michigan on Wednesdays and Saturdays at 10 a.m. This will make for the perfect excursion for beating the heat…and maybe eating a little popcorn too 😉 Admission is free for children […]
It’s getting to be that season…Baby animals are being born and it has me thinking about all the amazing farm events on the horizon. Three things I love: Michigan, agriculture and FREE family fun. Every child deserves the opportunity to visit a farm and see where their food comes from. That’s why I love the Breakfast […]
If your kids are anything like mine, they LOVE to create. Problem is, some days I just don’t want to deal with the mess or we just want to get out of the house for a bit. Enter Michaels Kids Club. Nearly every Saturday, Michaels hosts a Kids Club craft project from 10 a.m. to noon, and […]
One thing my kids look forward to each month is our local FREE Home Depot Kid’s Workshops. These are a great way to spend time together as a family, or have an excuse for a one-on-one date with your child. The hands-on workshops are typically held the first Saturday of the month and run from 9 a.m. – […]

I’m a huge fan of the 4 gift rule for Christmas {something they want, something they need, something to wear, something to read}, but what about for Easter? It’s so easy to get carried […]

I was visiting MJR Digital Cinemas yesterday and immediately spotted a sign highlighting the 2017 MJR Free Children’s Spring Film Festival. Woo-hoo for their free movies this spring!
