I can’t believe that our local farmers markets will be coming to a close at the end of October. Sharing the many highs and lows of a farmers market season forges strong bonds between the farmers, vendors and artisans who come together each and every week for six months of the year. A feeling of […]

What is it about the fall that seems to get everyone back on track? Fall has always been one of my favorite seasons. The weather is truly delightful with cool nights and warm days, plus when you live in Michigan the fall colors are really something to behold, enjoy and savor. Nature really puts on […]

New year, new you! Making changes for the better and improving ourselves is something we all talk about quite a bit. But change isn’t always easy and it’s not usually fun.
