Jackie LE
Madison Heights’ First #LittleFreeLibrary
I love books. I was that kid in school that got in trouble because I was too busy reading instead of doing my school work. Whenever I give a gift, I always include a book – especially when my boys go to a birthday party. Books are the one simple joy that are always available, if one can get to…
Recipe: Bacon Pancakes
My kids (and my husband) love the Cartoon Network show, Adventure Time, and when they came across Jake’s fabulous Making Bacon Pancakes song they insisted we had to make our own bacon pancakes. Considering they also love bacon, I couldn’t resist and they were a hit. Strangely, they weren’t as bad as I thought they would be, but I would…
Recipe: Ham and Cheese Brunch
Brunch play dates are one of my favorites to attend. The kids are guaranteed to love it (someone always brings donuts) and it’s still early enough that crankiness hasn’t set in yet. Yet it can also be hard when trying to figure out what to bring. Donuts are always easy, hence why they always show up, as are bagels; but…
Historic Baseball at Greenfield Village
If you’re tired of watching the same old baseball game, may I suggest watching a game that’s a bit older? Check out Historic Base Ball: Base Ball 1867 Style at Greenfield Village. Every weekend between now and August 20th, Greenfield Village has their own baseball games and it’s unlike any game you’ve seen on TV. For one, they play by…
Hitsville USA and the Motown Museum
Even if you didn’t grow up in the 60s and 70s, everyone has heard of Motown and the musical success they had. Hell, Motown jump-started Michael Jackson’s career and I know people have heard of him. I’m an 80s child, so I’ve heard of The Temptations, Diana Ross, Stevie Wonder, and many other Motown artists; but something I didn’t know…
The Troy Historical Village
Today I would like to introduce everyone to the Troy Historical Village, located in Troy, Michigan at the corner of Wattles Road and Livernois Road. I don’t know how many times I’ve driven by that corner and I’ve never noticed this gem of a museum. This village contains 10 buildings that give a glimpse into this region’s past. The first…
10 Historic Sites You May Not Know About in Metro Detroit
Now that my oldest is out of that “any park, any time, all the time” stage, I’ve been finding that I need to put a little more effort into my summer plans. He’s no longer happy with let’s go discover a new park; instead he wants to know what we’re going to do. Now he wants a plan, a reason,…
A Quick and Easy Craft: Puffy Paint!
I’m always looking for new crafts/activities that keep my boys busy and away from the video games, so when my youngest and I were introduced to the DIY puffy paint, we so had to make our own. This is really easy, I had all the ingredients on hand, and the resulting paintings were fabulous. Simply put, all you need is…
Comic Books – Perfect For Beginner Readers
If you think it is odd that I would suggest comic books as the perfect books for beginner readers, don’t. In my experience, they can get a child to read more and can actually get them excited to read. There are some really great ones out there that are fabulous for young minds. Comics have one major attractive element that…
