Tuesday Top Five: The Shapes of Detroit
February 10, 2009
With our theme this month being math, and getting our little ones ready for it, I admit I am a bit at a loss. I am, um, definetly a writer when it comes to math. Luckily my husband has a good head for numbers and so far I've been successful in not infecting my dauhter with my dislike and fear of it; she likes all the math activities at school.
Inspired By Our Little Ones
January 28, 2009
Today's national theme is thinking about how we can learn from our kid's willingness to try new things. With an active, fearless four-year-old in the house and an almost one-year-old who is learning new stuff every day, that's something I am really trying to think about. One of the things I admire the most about my daughter is that she is absolutely fearless physically. She is strong, tough and Read more...
Tuesday List: Mirror, Mirror
January 13, 2009
Today's "list" theme is top places for your child to see her reflection. Little kids love this -- I was just reminiscing with my husband about how our daughter, when she was a toddler, would lean bizarrely in the grocery cart and then start smiling into the air, and I would always be mystified as to what she was doing until I followed her glance and saw she was looking at herself in the mirrors Read more...
Tuesday Top Five: Things That Matter -- and Things That Don't
January 06, 2009
As parents, we're always worrying about doing right by our kids, and can stress out abut the smallest details (especially, I must say, with the first child -- I am finding, and everyone I know reports, a much more mellow time with the second). Our theme today is Top Five Things That Really Matter with preschoolers, and five things that really don't. Here's my take on this: What Read more...
Digging For Your Roots
September 24, 2008
Preschoolers are just learning about families beyond the people who live with them and care for them every day -- that (if they are lucky) those nice people who spoil them and love them to pieces are actually their parents' parents, and part of their family just like you or their brothers and sisters. If you're lucky enough to have your own grandparents still around as well, they can get an even Read more...
Where the Pals Are
June 23, 2008
When the fabulous Amy and Eliza, our national Savvy Bloggers, wrote about kids and friends for our All About Me post, I missed he chance to link up (clearly I could use some friend-building skills!). Their post had some great ideas for books to read to children about friendships and how to make new friends. It got me thinking about the ways our kids, and ourselves, get to know others. I am Read more...
Princess For a Day
May 16, 2008
My daughter, suddenly, at age three and half, has entered the princess phase. She's fascinated with fairy tales, demanding I tell her one at bedtime and rejecting my attempts to add in a little empowerment (i.e. :"The prince liked Cinderella because she was smart and funny and easy to talk to"). But for her, and for most little girls, it's really all about the clothes. And honestly, who doesn't Read more...

Hi, y'all. Welcome to Savvy Source. I'm awfully excited to be your guide here to the many wonderful hidden -and not-so-hidden - gems of raising a family in Detroit. And who am I to tell you all this?
