October 14, 2008
One of the absolutely most delicious parts of parenting little people is watching those active imaginations take wing, and finding ways to spark that creativity in their little minds. To that end, here are some of my favorites for stimulating your children's imaginations in a fun way: Kid's College at Marygrove College : Marygrove is one of Metro Detroit's hidden gems --it's a Read more...
No Excuse to be Bored This Weekend!
August 29, 2008
If you find yourself bored this weekend, you are just beyond hope. Two big festivals, some smaller ones, the Detroit Grand Prix and the State Fair are all in town. It's like everybody is trying to get one last gulp of summer before the kids go back to school and the weather turns cold. Here's my very condensed guide to some of the big events this weekend: Detroit Jazz Festival : Been going Read more...
Diversity Groove: Concert of Colors
July 17, 2008
Our theme on Being Savvy this month has been Escapes Real and Imagined. One of the ways I step out of my usual little world and learn about other places, other cultures, other lives is through music (and art, and food, but those are other posts). And one of the best ways to do just that is starting today. The Concert of Colors kicks off tonight, when Buffy Sainte-Marie plays with the Detroit 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...
River Navigation: Family Picks for River Days
June 20, 2008
Starting today, one of the newest, and for my money one of the best, festivals of the summer gears up along the Detroit River. It's GM River Days weekend! If you haven't already checked out all of the great things happening along the riverfront, now's the time. There will be carnival rides, music, food, a tour of a tall ship, art, cars, and even more along the waterfront this weekend. Based on Read more...
Exploring: Introducing Children to World Cultures Through Art and Music
June 04, 2008
I loathe hot weather, and it's supposed to be hot this weekend, blazing, 90-degree-ish hot. But instead of languishing in the nearest air -conditioned room I can find, I'll be moseying about the Wayne State campus area. Only one thing could get me to not only brave the heat but be excited about the prospect the Detroit Festival of the Arts . Words cannot describe the coolness of this festival, Read more...
Mozart to Moby to Miles
May 30, 2008
It's summer in Detroit, and if you haven't managed to get out and see a live band, much less introduce your kids to the greatness of live music, you are just not trying. With all the festivals and fairs going on every weekend all over the Metro area, you practically trip over great musicians just walking out your front door. And the beauty part is, much of it is free and all of it happens at Read more...
7 Must-Do Things Before Your Child Grows Up
May 29, 2008
What are the no-miss experiences for a Detroit kid? What are the five, or 10, or 100, things you must do with your child before they grow up? Here's what I've come up with, a mix of things I loved as a Detroit kid, things I love doing with my children, and things I haven't done yet but will. A day at the lake: Doesn't matter which lake, since we have a large amount to choose from around here, Read more...
