We’ve hit a new level of fun in our house: I now have a child that LOVES to create. This makes my heart so happy! Over the years, many people have told me I should have been a kindergarten teacher. While I think that’s sweet, I secretly know I say too many inappropriate things for […]

October 1st may as well be a national holiday for our household: The Collector’s Edition BluRay/DVD of The Little Mermaid is coming out of the Disney vault and into the hearts of a new generation of little girls.

Calling All Young Entrepreneurs: Lemonade Day Detroit is Looking for You!
When I am garage saling, which is almost every week these days, there is almost always at least one lemonade stand. I am always sure to stop and give a little more than the kids are asking. I’ve had to suck down some pretty sugary-sweet lemonade, but seeing the look on the kid’s faces when […]
“Make the Play” for a Healthier Michigan Video Contest
How fitting that I was just announced as a Shaklee 180™ blogger yesterday on my Facebook page {more to come about this in the weeks ahead!} when I was planning to post this information. Obviously, health is something that matters to me. But ya’ll? This is a recent realization for me. I am trying to change […]
My Neighborhood: Summer Fun in Milford, Michigan
One of my favorite things about Michigan is exploring the many historic downtowns we are blessed to have. One of my favorite downtowns to explore in the metro Detroit/Ann Arbor area is Milford, which is located in southwestern Oakland County. The downtown is full of super cute boutiques and restaurants, and is also surrounded by a […]
Summer Bucket List 2012
Summer is quickly approaching, therefore I’ve decided to create my official list of the things I’d like to accomplish – both alone and as a family. This summer is going to be much different from the last since I will have a new baby in late July or early August, but I’m not going to […]
My Hood: Lemonade Day Detroit
What is more neighborly and fun than a classic lemonade stand? While fun may be the #1 priority for many kids, there are so many additional lessons children can take away from running their own stand: Money/budgeting problem solving, business skills, customer service, public relations/advertising and more. Last year I wrote about Lemonade Day for […]

My Hood: The Wienermobile’s Coming To Detroit
One of my favorite things about Twitter: sometimes, if you’re vocal, a big company will listen to you. About a month ago, Dominique over at Midwest Guest, started a Twitter conversation about the Oscar Meyer Wienermobile, citing a great post she wrote awhile back about it. Pretty soon there was a group of gals including […]
Lessons From Lemonade
My husband and I joke all the time about what we want our baby to be when she grows up. Granted, she’s only seven months, but we both already think she should go into the medical field. It seems like there are always great opportunities and tons of flexibility for when it’s time to settle […]
