It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood!
If the winter blues are starting to kick in, check out this list for some great FREE fun! Paying 3 admissions {or 5 if you count my husband and I} anywhere we go adds up quickly. Visiting every cool place surrounding us just isn’t financially possible for us, so I have to carefully think through which ones we […]
If there is one Broadway show you attend this year, I would highly suggest it be The Lion King. This amazing show is coming to the Detroit Opera House Feb. 1-26, 2017. This production is by far my absolute favorite show – EVER. I saw it in NYC the year after its debut and literally cried during the […]
One of the most exciting things as a blogger is getting emails from companies like Disney with the inside scoop of what’s coming up. I wanted to share this list in advance because if you’re anything like me, you’ve already asked Google when a few of these flicks will be coming out! Here’s what’s slated […]
There’s nothing quite like the magic of the first snow of the year. My girls are at the age that they beg for snow — they love it and care less that it generally brings freezing temperatures. We aim to get in a little outdoor play daily, but sometimes we can only last so long. […]
This post is sponsored by Everywhere Agency on behalf of OshKosh B’gosh; however, all thoughts and opinions are my own. Every season I gather our family together and create a bucket list of fun we’d like to accomplish. At age 2, 4 and 6, I absolutely love hearing the fun ideas my kids have. The […]
This post is sponsored by Carter’s; however, all thoughts and opinions expressed are my own. Now that we’re officially in November, I’m not afraid to say it — BRING.ON.CHRISTMAS. In my house, the Christmas PJs are coming out as well as the Christmas music! I’ll save the decorating and cookies for after Thanksgiving, but until then, I’m […]
Given my blog name, you all have to know I was THRILLED when I heard about the PBS show Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood…The play on Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood was purposeful for my blog — I love everything that man stood for, and was beyond excited to hear his legacy was going to live on in Daniel Tiger. […]
The size of your dreams must always exceed your current capacity to achieve them. – Ellen Johnson Sirleaf There’s quite a few films that come to mind when it comes to being inspired by true stories: Seabiscuit, Patch Adams, The Blind Side…The list could go on and on. Why? Because real life is interesting. It’s […]
I attended a sneak preview of this movie. All opinions expressed belong to me. I can’t quite peg the first time I saw Pete’s Dragon as a kid, but I was certainly young. In fact, I think it was a pirated copy straight from our VCR. Anyway, I remember enjoying it seeing that little red-haired […]
I will receive tickets to DOWT in exchange for promoting the event. Opinions belong to me. They’re two, they’re four, they’re six, they’re eight, Shunting trucks and hauling freight. Red and green and brown and blue, They’re the Really Useful crew. If you find yourself humming this tune often, I have the event for you! Day Out With Thomas […]
Just keep swimming, just keep swimming, just keep swimming, swimming, swimming… That jingle has been in my head for 13 years, so I was just a tad bit excited when I saw that Finding Dory would be swimming into my brain this summer. I had the opportunity to attend a sneak peek the other night with […]
I recently was able to see a sneak peek for the Disney classic-turned-live-action-film, The Jungle Book, and let me tell you, this is one film you won’t want to miss in theaters. Read on to learn more: About The Jungle Book Directed by Jon Favreau {Iron Man} and based on Rudyard Kipling’s timeless stories and inspired by Disney’s […]
I don’t know about you all, but I am completely thrown off that Easter is March 27th this year! It’s coming up SO fast. Since so many area events sell out, I thought I’d put together a big list of ideas for easy planning in the month ahead. For starters, here’s 25+ ideas for getting your […]
I have an ongoing partnership with Meijer and am compensated for posts. All opinions and content belong to me. Oh exercise. Some days I truly hate you. Thing is, I know I need you. However, my daily schedule with three little ones plus working from home make my options to go to a gym pretty limited. […]
Today I was able to attend the unveiling of LEGOLAND® Discovery Center Michigan’s first MINILAND LEGO® brick model — the GMRENCEN. The event took place at the North American International Auto Show {NAIAS}, and it was sweet! I have a soft spot in my heart for the RenCen after my husband and I both worked there for […]

I’ve been reflecting a lot on changes I want to see happen in my home in 2016. Truth is, I am far from perfect and parenting has shown me that in SO many ways. A friend recently told me she felt she held back on her children’s earlier years, striving for perfection, and missed out on […]
Said the crazy mom to her little kids…Do you hear what I hear? It’s December! Holy cow. 2015 is quickly coming to a close. A few weeks back I shared a post about Christmas events in southeast Michigan this year, so today’s post focuses on everything else that’s happening in the month of December, which of course, includes […]
I attended a media sneak peek of The Good Dinosaur. All opinions expressed below belong to me. I love a good Disney•Pixar movie — how about you? If you’re a fan, the latest release, The Good Dinosaur, is sure to impress with its emotional plot line and visually stunning scenery. But is it good for […]
