Cars, Trucks, and Things That Go
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: Favorite Posts of the Year
December 30, 2008
Wow, I can't believe 2008 is almost over! It quite frankly has not been the best one ever here in Detroit, but one of the highlights of my year is taking on this Savvy Source job. It's been so much fun learning more about this city I have called home for almost my entire life, and getting to know and connect with all of you. Here's a Top Five posts of the year for me -- just a simple Read more...
Tuesday Reviews-Day: Toys That Will Last
December 09, 2008
These toys, reviewed here on Savvy Source, are not just "lasting" from a quality standpoint, but are "lasting" because they are the kinds of things children will play with over, and over, and over again. Those are the kinds of things we parents love to buy, especially in this economy when the frequent trips to the toy store are not in the budget! Wooden Stringing Beads Set "Making Read more...

Want to hear a good story? Well, then you're in luck this weekend, if you're interested in taking a road trip up to Flint. The Michigan Storytellers Festival starts today and runs through tomorrow. It's sponsored by the Flint Public Library. The event features performances and workshops with LaRon Williams, Mokoto, and Waddie Mitchell, with local storytellers performing at 5:30 pm each day.

Catch That Train -- All Along Belle Isle
July 11, 2008
What is it about kids and trains? Even the littlest ones seem to go ga-ga at the sight of an engine, and getting a chance to ride one is just insanely exciting. So I'm pretty excited about the train on Belle Isle this season. Skyline Attractions, which also runs the giant slide and the swan paddle boats on the island, has a battery powered train that chugs from Flynn Pavilion around the Belle Read more...
Three Days In Detroit, Day 1: Museums, Muffins and More
July 08, 2008
First of all, hi! Welcome! We don't get a bunch of tourists around here, so if you mention to the average Detroiter you encounter that you're from out of town, you're sure to get a tremendously warm greeting. When the Super Bowl was here in 2006, the main rap on Detroiters was that we were almost too helpful and enthusiastic. So if you don't pick up the papers (government scandals du jour, Read more...
Up,Up and Awayyyy...
June 27, 2008
High on the list of "things I love the idea of doing but will never actually do" (right up there with playing bass in a band and appearing on "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire") is riding a hot air balloon. They're just so pretty, and silent, and float so magically over the earth. They're also, you know, HIGH UP. And I am afraid of heights. So, no hot air balloons for me. Because of that, this Read more...
Things That Make You Go Vroom
May 14, 2008
Let's leave out the most obvious here: Cars, cars and more cars. We're in Motown, here, so it's not like there's any lack of cool car related stuff to do. But there's more to Detroit's "Motor City" nickname than just car motors. For example, there's the hydroplane races on the Detroit River every summer. The 100th running of the annual American Powerboat Racing Association, or APBA, Gold Cup Read more...
