Fire and Ice in Northville
January 29, 2009
Yup, still cold. It's supposed to warm up this weekend though, and okay, by "warm up" I mean break freezing for the first time this year. Still, if you can't beat it, join it -- or counteract it with something tropical and hot. That will be on tap this weekend at the Northville Fire and Ice Festival . Downtown restaurants will participate in a chili and salsa cook-off, and salsa band Saoco Read more...
Cook Better, Have Fun, for Free!
January 14, 2009
And another giveaway! Katie from Being Savvy Toronto is giving away a copy of the Personal Trainer: Cooking game for Nintendo DS --that's the one with the commercial where Lisa Kudrow and what I presume to be her daughter makes Kung Pao chicken with the game. I love this idea -- if you or your kids already have the DS, why not use it for something that's actually going to make you Read more...
Teaching About Giving in Tough Times
November 26, 2008
I don't need to tell you this, but times are tight right now. Even if you're lucky enough to have a job and be able to make your house payments and cover your bills, the precarious nature of the auto industry right now should give us all pause. Many of us are just a couple paychecks away from being in real trouble. Today's theme is books about food for kids. That got me thinking Read more...
Prepping for the Holidays
November 13, 2008
We still have Halloween candy in the house and leaves to rake, but the holidays are right upon us. I hate "Christmas creep" and resist even glancing at the decorations lined up right next to the clearance beach gear before the leaves even start to turn, but now, before the craziness kicks off with Thanksgiving, is a good time to plan out any holiday entertaining you're planning to do.

Little Ladies and Gentlemen
September 25, 2008
When it comes to table manners, preschoolers are at that difficult age between getting away with eating like a baby little chubby hands smearing foods everywhere and it's actually kind of cute to being expected to eat like a civilized human being, with silverware and napkins and chewing with mouths closed. I know we're struggling with it. Throw in the fact that our own table manners have gone Read more...
Tuesday Top Five: Dinner Table Destinations
July 22, 2008
Like many people, I am curious about other cultures and countries but find I don't often have the resources for a long trip abroad. One really worthwhile way to get a taste of other cultures literally is to seek out authentic restaurants serving the cuisine of the owner's native land. And while we're no NYC around here, we have a great variety of ethnic restaurants throughout the metro area that Read more...
Party Town: Cityfest With Young Ones
July 03, 2008
One of the best things about my job is that if I have a concern about something to do locally, you probably do too. One big worry, this year, is navigating my beloved Cityfest with the big scary two-kid capacity stroller. It's crowded, after all, and people aren't always that willing to make way for a massive piece of baby gear. So I called Cityfest's press representative, Peter VanDyke, and Read more...
Tuesday top five: Father's Day picnic spots
June 10, 2008
Still looking for something to do for Father's Day? How about a picnic? We've been doing a Father's Day picnic at least since my husband became a father four years ago, and it's a fun, relaxed way to celebrate the day. Whether it's sandwiches and potato chips or something more elaborate, everything tastes better when you eat it outside. Here's a roundup of some great picnic spots to enjoy the Read more...
