Are you "going up north" this summer? It seems no matter where we live we seem to gravitate north. Out of the city, away from home, away from the heat, just to get away! We can't wait to pack our bags, point our vehicle north, and decompress as we leave miles behind us.

Summer is here! Can you feel it? My goal of this summer is to celebrate more of the little things. Why wait for a major milestone to make it an occasion to celebrate? There are always the big events to celebrate in life, but life already goes by so fast, so let’s slow it down for even a short window of time and celebrate the little things, the ordinary, daily things.

It's that time of year to bring out our bikes and get them ready for cruising around this summer! But it can be a bummer when we haven't maintained our bikes and we run into issues down the road. So take a little time and follow these steps for smooth riding!

Growing your own vegetables is rewarding and a great way to provide you with healthy and delicious fresh produce. But if you're new to gardening, it can be hard to know where to start. With so many different vegetables to choose from, it's important to pick ones that are easy to grow and maintain. These are my top picks for the best vegetables to grow for beginners.

It's May! The world is in full bloom and bursting with sunshine, warmth, and laughter. For many of us, it can also be a time for celebration as we mark important milestones or cherish family memories. So whether you are celebrating the start of summer or enjoying some much-needed rest with your friends and loved ones, here are some ideas to make this May extra special. 

Spring is finally here and that means it's time to start thinking about your herb garden! Whether you're a seasoned gardener or a beginner, growing herbs is a fun and rewarding way to add some flavor to your cooking and brighten up your home. So what are the best herbs to grow in spring? 

It's the season for blooming flowers, warming days, and longer nights! Spring is a time of new beginnings – when we can break out from our winter cocoons and embrace the possibilities stretching before us. April especially provides plenty opportunities to make lasting memories with family and friends.

I have spring fever. I hear birds chirping, my crocuses are just coming up and I have a bad case of wanderlust. I’m itching to road trip and explore. Just to get in the car without an agenda other than to see, eat, and experience so many big and small things that make this country what it is. 

It's been a very long time since I took a painting class, but a friend of mine who is an accomplished artist is teaching an acrylic class later this month in her town. Since I haven't busted out my paints yet here at home like I had planned to, I will be joining her. Take time to do something for yourself this month! 

January can be a pretty tough month for a lot of people who live in northern climates. The rush and fun and celebratory atmosphere of the holidays is over, the decorations are put away, and an actual grey cloud descends (literally here in Michigan) on us. So what do I do the rest of the month?

What is it about the holiday season that makes us take stock of what we are thankful for, become more generous, or more giving? Giving of our finances, our time, and our donations always increase this month no matter where we live. What can you plan to do or where can you give your time to impact others this season?
