Coming to Terms with Body Image
Those little cells that hold the fat in our bodies have been the bane of my existence since high school. I look back on how I felt about my body from the time I was a teenager and realize I’ve never been happy with it. There were always a few pounds I had to lose [...]

New Math
I love teachers who integrate alternate methods of teaching – and styles of learning – into the regular classroom work. My son’s math teacher gave Cayce and two of his friends a video assignment for her class. My son worked on this every day last week and we all had a great time watching him [...]

Backyard Rainy Days
I love the sunshine but can’t deny that my backyard is most beautiful on overcast, drizzly days like today. The wildlife comes out and even buds beginning to burst make the landscape look green and vibrant. While I was waiting for my tea to steep, I decided to try to capture the robin and babies [...]

Land of Extremes
I loved the variance in the Arizona landscape. One minute I was sweating it out while photographing Sedona’s Red Rocks and 45 minutes later I was standing in snow on a ski hill near Flagstaff. Not long after I took this picture heading into the desert with Mount Humphries snowy peaks in my rearview mirror.

What Band Kids Do With Their Spare Time
I’ve covered a lot of Walled Lake Schools music on my blog over the past few years because my children were so heavily involved in band. This will be the last year I cover school concerts since my eldest is in college and my youngest has chosen bypass orchestra next year in order to pursue [...]

Infusion of Energy
Seems like i just got home from New Orleans and I was heading out to Phoenix Arizona for the Infusionsoft Conference, affectionately called InfusionCon. I won the airfare, hotel, and conference fees as part of Bloggers in Motion, a contest sponsored by the software company, Infusionsoft. Infusionsoft is an all-in-one small business automation solution for [...]

Fat Tuesday on Bourbon Street
Mardi Gras in New Orleans. You’ve heard about it, and since I keep getting asked how many beads I acquired, I assume many of you are missing a big part of what really happens during Mardi Gras. It’s actually a very family oriented event! The activities you’ve heard most about, only happen within a few [...]

Life is a Parade!
“Life is like a parade, and it’s one that most people watch go by. And then there are some that get in that parade.” ~ Jonathan Goldsmith If you know me at all, you’ll understand that I live for road trips. I feel most alive when exploring something I’ve never seen before. A decade ago, [...]

Cauliflower Mountains
Traveling through the Blue Ridge Mountains I came across this beautiful scene in the early morning fog. As the fog lifted, portions of the mountain treetops were bathed in frost where clouds had left accumulated moisture. Reminiscent of Jack and the Beanstalk, the valley looked as though giant stalks of cauliflower had grown up overnight. [...]

Barracks Church Door

Ghosts of Christmas Past
It’s just after noon on Christmas Eve and so far I’ve sent a newsletter out, cleaned the kitchen, cleaned a bathroom, snaked the shower drain, and begun preparations for tonight’s fondue dinner with the kids. Christmas has changed so much since my children were replaced with mature teenagers. It’s easier, but lonelier. My childhood Christmases [...]

Back from Vegas
I had the pleasure of attending a conference in Vegas in October. It was wonderful to connect with other business owners, to see old friends, and develop new business relationships. I wrote an article over at CyberCletch on the 10 Lessons I learned from Cirque de Soleil. I had never seen a Cirque performance and [...]

Dog-gone Spell Reversal
During the divorce negotiations, the dog went to my ex. He’s since reconsidered and I was notified today I’ll be keeping the dog from now on. I had chosen to shut out how much I missed having Caesar in my life on a daily basis. I’m beyond excited to have him home full-time; he’s putting [...]

Happy Halloween!
I found the above picture while looking for my favorite Jack O’ Lanterns on Flickr. This is one of the most adorable pictures I’ve seen. It was taken by KoKo Crispy. While little Jocelyn is just beginning, my children are past the Trick or Treating age. Although I am somewhat happy to not have the [...]

Walled Lake Northern Marching Knights
Can’t see the video? Click here. I meant to get this online a couple of weeks ago, but life got busy. This is the WLN Marching Band’s 2011 pre-show and show. The video was taken October 6th during the visit by Clifford Smart, Sarah Banks and James Geisler Middle School Bands. The football game was [...]
