It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood!
Is there anything better than summer in Michigan? I certainly don’t think so! I have a lot of love for all the seasons my home state offers, but nothing gets me more excited than spending the summer by water and relaxing around a bonfire at the end of the night. I decided to come up […]
Being a parent has its challenges every day. But couple those challenges with winter and it being so-cold-some-days-you-can’t-get-out? MEGA HARD. Sure, I made a giant list of places to go, but sometimes you just want to stay inside. Lately, I’ve been wracking my brain with fun ideas that we can do inside because there have […]
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 […]

After searching around to a bazillion websites last year, I grew frustrated when I couldn’t just find a list of ALL indoor places in southeast Michigan that weren’t blatant ads, so I decided to make my own list of places to go in southeast Michigan. This is my cheat sheet for when I need an […]
One concern I had when I started staying home with my little munchkin was she wouldn’t get the socialization she would need and that most kids received from daycare. So instead, I try to plan a few fun adventures during the week with the hopes of keeping her social and in turn, tiring her out […]
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 […]
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 […]
Having a baby, a limited budget and a hubby who works long hours doesn’t really make going to the gym an easy task. So, to get my exercise on and get my nature fix, I enjoy taking long walks in scenic places. Here are 5 metro Detroit places I like to stroll with the little […]
If you’re like me and have never checked out the Detroit Historical Museum (I know – I’m ashamed!) – next week – the week of July 25-31 – will be a great time to check it out because it will be FREE for a program call Seven Days-Seven Stories in celebration of Detroit’s 310th anniversary. Each day […]
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 […]
Confession: I don’t know much about sports. I don’t follow them. And, I know this is probably the #1 male turn-off in the world, but I don’t really like them. But, I try to understand the allure. However, I do LOVE Detroit sports (well, except our poor Lions. I just hate football altogether, but that’s fodder for […]
One of my favorite things about having a little one is I get to see things through a child’s eyes all over again. To get excited about our future adventures together, I’ve compiled a list of 25 Metro Detroit places to show my daughter as she grows. 25 Metro Detroit Places To Show My Daughter […]
