Danny surprised me with brunch at Block for Mother’s Day and it was delicious. 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
Too many parenting hours are spent asking/pleading with Lucas to ‘come here’, ‘don’t touch’, ‘be careful’ and saying the dreaded ‘no’. These fun phrases are used even more frequently when we’re out of the house because the world is not baby proofed. I hate using these words. I LOVE that Lucas is adventurous and I … More Touch-A-Truck on the Riverfront
Turns out Magnolia magic is like pixie dust – all you need to do is believe. After reading about Joanna’s flower workshop, I was inspired to host a flower party for Mother’s Day. I enjoy fresh flowers but more often than not I receive them as a hostess gift and hurriedly cut the stems and plop … More How to Host a Flower Brunch
Friday night Kat asked how I would feel if Lucas grew up to be a Republican. Without hesitation or doubt, my answer was that I would have failed as a mother if that happened. It isn’t a political statement, it’s moral one. At this moment in time the Republican Party has demonstrated that it will … More Motherhood defined
I’m trying not to get my hopes up but it looks like we might get a little spring weather around here. Even with the nip in the air we are taking advantage of the longer days and spending lots of time outdoors. Lucas loves sports. Since he was a baby he’s enjoyed watching Sports Center … More Play Ball
I’ve been an admirer of Jane Fonda for decades. I literally carry around a list of my top ten favorite ladies (not relatives or friends) and she’s on the list. Grace & Frankie is currently one of my favorite shows but beyond that, On Golden Pond is a favorite movie, I have her work out … More ROC -in- Detroit with Jane Fonda
I love the Golden Era of Hollywood and really enjoyed watching FEUD. Tomorrow I’ll be in the same room with one of Hollywood’s last remaining stars, Jane Fonda. I’ve admired her for decades and never thought I’d have the chance to be in the same room with her. This Korean Beef Bowl recipe is quick, … More Fast Four
I have wanted to visit Charleston ever since I read Gone with the Wind at age 12. I almost went on multiple occasions and last month I was finally able to check it off my to-do list. It was definitely worth the wait and as lovely as everyone says it is. Charleston is so clean and … More Charleston
‘Co-parenting’ is often a phase associated with divorced or separated couples but I have no idea why. Aren’t all couples no matter their relationship status co-parenting? I know Danny and I are. We both bring unique talents and abilities to raising Lucas and it’s definitely a team effort. Danny leads the morning routine. I almost … More Co-parenting
Another book to add to my reading list. When I drive through Detroit neighborhoods it’s devastating to see so many beautiful homes being lost to decay. I’m so glad there are people out there willing to take on such challenges. It’s unbelievable that 50 years ago women weren’t allowed to run in marathons. It’s incredible … More Fast Four
