After a very long rainy spring, we’re finally getting some sunshine around here and I’m loving it. Unfortunately, our schedule is pretty packed and finding time to explore has been hard – so has leaving the house with two kids but that’s another post (at least hopefully I’ll get to it but we’re still waiting … More Detroit Days: Peck Park & The Cultural Center
From tv dinners every day to genuine food snob, my evolution to foodie has been well documented on the blog. Detroit is DEFINITELY a Foodie City, there are so many places to eat and so many more options coming it is impossible to keep up. I do try so here are my recommendations for what … More Best Places to Eat in Detroit

The restaurant has been around for a couple years but we are seriously behind on our Detroit eats so it was our first time there. I’m not a huge brunch fan but the cheesy jalapeno grits are so good the next … More Brunch at Block
Eastern Market is my go-to place to introduce people to the city. It’s fun and filled with people and it’s impossible for anyone to go there and not have a great time (believe me I’ve taken a lot of Detroit skeptics). Saturday Market Days are always fun but after the tour I’ve always ended up … More Stache International
Emily was the ‘It’ girl of elementary school and I was the polar opposite. The words I’d use to describe my younger self are loud and desperate (I’m happy to say I would no longer use those descriptors).
