Happy Thanksgiving!
November 27, 2008
Happy Thanksgiving, everybody! I'm hoping you're full of gratitude and surrounded by friends and family today. Not to mention delicious, delightfully-cooked food. I'm grateful for many things today -- my husband, my children, the fact I actually have a husband and children (plural), my parents and their continued good health, my warm, comfortable if horrendously messy home, my friends who are Read more...
Goodbye, Farmer, Until Spring
October 30, 2008
Much as I relish fall, I must say one of the sadder parts is seeing some of the summer fun go away. It's dark early now, there will be no more of eating on the patio meals cooked on the grill, and summer produce has pretty much dwindled to a few never-to-ripen tomatoes still on the vine. That also means that the many farmer's markets that have sprung up around town are over, or drawing Read more...
Martha Stewart-Ish Pumpkins In Rochester Hills
October 10, 2008
Not only do I love fall, as I have mentioned before, but I love October most. I got married in October, and it boasts the best holiday of all, in my opinion: Halloween. Who could not love a holiday that involves dressing up as something fun or beautiful or scary and trooping around at night asking the neighbors for candy? So I am extra excited that Halloween-type activities have Read more...
Fall Festivities at the Zoo
October 03, 2008
Although the zoo is summer is quite the place to be, I love it in fall. The trees turn, the air is cooler, the animals are a little friskier, and it's just generally a little less crowded and a lot more fun. And you can kick off the fall season at the Detroit Zoo with this weekend's Fall Festival . There will be entertainment, food and beverages, and (for an extra charge) hayrides and a Read more...
It's That Wonderful Time of Year Again!
October 01, 2008
Happy October!! I love fall, love it love it love it. As far as I am concerned, this is the most wonderful time of the year, forget about the holidays. The crisp air, the cool nights, warm fuzzy PJs, cider mills, doughnuts, pumpkins, boots and sweaters for you and tights and vests for your little ones -- AND we get Halloween and Thanksgiving? What more could you want from a season? Let Read more...
DIY Arts and Crafts in Ferndale
September 19, 2008
My favorite current trend -- or maybe more correctly, movement-- right now is thw whole hipster crafts revivial. I love,love love that telnted people are making their own stuff, some of which is extra cute. And none of which looks super-polished or perfect, which is part of its charm. I especially like this because I love doing crafts like sewing and crocheting and so on, but I am Bad Read more...
Read First, Dally Later
September 04, 2008
If you're here, you can read, and probably pretty well at that. You most likely read to your kids, enjoy books yourself, and maybe are even the kind of person who could happily spend a few hours in a library or at a bookstore (in which case, will you be my friend?). Likely, literacy is important to you -- and probably so central to your life you never even think about how you're fostering it Read more...
