Earlier this month I went to an Inforum event at The Limited for a presentation on fashion and how to dress appropriately in the workplace. The event was nice and just when it started to feel drawn out, it was over. Or so I thought, before we were left to shop (or in my case leave) we … More A Coral Classic
President Ulysses Grant and his wife Julia lived in this house from April 1849 to May 1850 while he was stationed in Detroit. Currently located on the former Michigan State Fair grounds, the house is boarded up but slightly protected by a tall fence.* I learned about the house a couple year ago and was … More Happy President’s Day
Valentine’s Day weekend is not something we go out the way for but we do use it as an excuse to buy something we want and go out to dinner. If the day has any value outside of Hallmark, it is to feel loved and appreciated. Fortunately, I feel that way all the time and … More Happy Friday!
I decided to read my old blog and it’s been a humbling, cringe worthy and entertaining experience. I’ve made it through 2009 to 2011 and discovered I forgot most of the things I did! My former blogs (and even this one prior to the change) were basically online journals.* I was young and it was … More #TBT
In a city not known for its grocery stores, DeVries & Co. is both essential and a destination. Located in the heart of Eastern Market, the architecture alone is worth the visit. The building was constructed in 1893 and has detail and character you never find with new construction. The old world charm extends to … More DeVries & Co
I’m a solid Detroit sports fan and a super fan of the Valenti and Foster show on 97.1 The Ticket. I listen faithfully every day on the drive home for work and, if I make it home before 6:00 p.m., in the kitchen while I’m making dinner. I have the app downloaded on my phone … More Detroit Sports Talk with Terry Foster
Changing careers has been an interesting adventure. I’m trying to be kind with myself and allow for grace period to acclimate to this new lifestyle but time moves too quickly for patience. It’s been hard to make time for the gym, cleaning, running errands, maintaining relationships, not to mention reading or practicing the keyboard. I … More Happy Friday
When we went to New York a couple years ago, topping my to-do list was a romantic evening with Danny atop the Empire State Building. When we discovered this romantic evening would cost a hundred bucks for both of us (i.e. the cost of a fancy dinner in Detroit), we decided to forego the … More Date Night 2016
Jimmy Fallon continues to do a great job with The Tonight Show. His post-Super Bowl Lip Sync Battle was fantastic. It’s long but worth it. It also starts on a very high note with Will Ferrell’s performance. Since this is some people’s Monday, I figure why not start on a fun note.
I’m ashamed to admit that this weekend was my first time ice skating at Campus Martius. We’ve wanted to do it for years but never made it down during skate time. It’s picturesque at night but the daytime date was fun. It’s good to see families spending time downtown. The rink was filled with lots … More Campus Martius Ice Rink
