So after a week of boycotting, I’ve decided to remove the city from my list – I’m becoming a pushover in my old age. The truth of the matter is a week without feeling a need to write about the city was actually refreshing. I love the city and sharing about it but sometimes I … More Happy Friday!
When I initially saw this shirt I thought it was all B. Turns out I was projecting and it’s really all me. My next trip to Target I tried it on and was stunned to discover that the XL was snug! The experience didn’t upset me because I am thoroughly convinced that it was a manufacturing error … More Fall Uniform
For some reason time is moving slowly but the seasons are progressing quickly. Summer is almost over and I can’t say I’m sad to see it go. I hate the heat and very much look forward to crisp days, cider mills and football. That said, I had thought of going back Up North for a … More Snapshot Michigan: Small Towns
It was only a week ago I was praising the City of Detroit for its improvements and parking system and three days ago when I received my first infamous $45 Detroit parking ticket. Yes, for all of my efforts to avoid that dreaded envelop I came back to my car Friday to find one. Since … More Blacklisted
Tucked away next to the Packard Plant is a warehouse full of goodies. I was treated to a behind the scenes tour of the Display Group space and was too awestruck by the row upon rows of couches, chairs, mammoth award statues, a ginormous Eiffel Tower, Western displays, celebrity cutouts and more, to take pictures. … More Happy Friday!
The home decor process has been just that – a process. Thankfully we’re close to having everything exactly how ‘we’ want it. I’m really happy with the downstairs and fawn over random items on any given day but my absolute favorite room is our bedroom. Our bedroom has been the longest work-in-progress. I fell in … More Good Nights
It’s not the M-1 Rail or the outdoor concerts or the new restaurants that’s going to transform Detroit. It’s the small things, the little details that display competency by city government that are evidence of real change and will make Detroit sustainable for the long-haul. The most recent example of this is with the parking meters. It doesn’t … More All The Small Things
Well an era is over and I can’t help but wonder when I’ll be interested in broadcast news again. Losing Colbert was rough but at least he’s moving on to something new. Stewart walking away is a more bitter pill to swallow. I give him a lot of credit for doing it but he’ll be … More Happy Friday
In a moment of part Britney Spears breakdown, frugality and being my mother’s daughter, I cut my hair. I literally looked at my hair in our downstairs bathroom, was annoyed by how obviously uneven it appeared, grabbed the kitchen scissors and cut off the longer end. I proceeded to cut the other side since the … More Chopped
The Detroit Riverfront continues to grow and add great family-friendly activities, the newest addition is the Outdoor Adventure Center. The center is a Michigan DNR facility and they spent the last couple years renovating the abandoned Globe Building. The transformation is incredible and another great example of restoring, instead of removing, history. Located at the entrance … More Detroit Outdoor Adventure Center
