One of the really fun things I got to do on my trip to Detroit for the auto show (NAIAS ) was go to the Henry Ford Museum. I got to see an exhibit that has not opened to the public yet AND had a catered dinner right there among all the amazing cars. I felt kinda bad being there without my Dad though... he would have loved it! I did however, get to have dinner with some amazing green mom friends. As a big history buff I just love museums so this was right up my alley even if cars really … [Read more...]
I Resolve to Have More Fun – How About You?
I don't typically make New Year's resolutions but I am feeling rather inspired for 2012. I had two goals for 2011 that I set for myself on March 1st (does that count?) to really concentrate on fitness and exercise and to also make more time for me.

The formula sounds awesome but the little microdoses will mean you have to … [Read more...]

In the Know With Abe’s Market
I discovered Abe's Market sometime last year when I came across a cardboard dollhouse with furniture that I knew my 7 year old daughter would just love. It ended up being a birthday present and my daughter still plays with it quite often. Even though it is made of cardboard it is still going strong. This store is part Etsy and part Whole Foods with a mix of posh and sustainable toys as well as some handcrafted stuff. But they also have a little Amazon, Groupon and Home Shopping Network thrown … [Read more...]
