It's a Midlife Lifestyle
New York.
For someone like me, New York has never really been at the top of my list of places I’d like to live. For the longest time I really had no desire to even visit NYC or even upstate. While it’s not at the top of my travel destination list, I would have to say that NYC is one of the many places I want to go for a foodie roadtrip. [Read more…]
UPDATE 12/9/2015: I am very sad to say that Sweet Southern Spice suffered a terrible fire in the wee hours of the morning. It is a total loss.
Today I am giving a shout-out to a (somewhat) local business: Sweet Southern Spice.
We live in small towns and we work hard to get our business name out there in order to sustain the business we love so dearly. So, when I run across something that makes me smile, I have this strong desire to want to scream from the rooftops. In this case, my website.
I feel very fortunate that I have a voice which reaches far and wide. YUM eating fans are worldwide! How awesome is that?
A few times a month I have to travel to the town next door. For a while I watched the old tanning salon sit empty. Then, out of the blue, something started to happen. [Read more…]
My husband and I went to Roast in Historic District Downtown Detroit for my 40th birthday. We are huge fans of Michael Symon and regretted not trying a little harder to get in to Lola’s when we were in Cleveland a few years back.
We don’t live super close to Detroit so I made sure to make my reservations early. I was a little bummed when I could not make my reservation for my actual birthday because they had a private event in the works. So, I went the evening before, which meant giving up the chance to see my favorite band Shinedown on their latest tour ( I know, right?!?!?!?) I swung by the website and used the Open Table service. It was really easy to set up and they even called me a few days prior to my reservation to confirm. So, top-notch service there. [Read more…]
It has come to my attention that many of you actually have heard of Frankenmuth, MI. It has often splashed the pages of many travel magazine, websites and articles. As, it should. It is one of the cutest little towns if I have ever seen one. Of course, it is in my backyard so I could be just a teeny tiny bit biased. 😉 If you have ever watched the Gilmore Girls and are familiar with Stars Hallow then you’ll understand this small town charm. The only real difference is that this town is German and it’s known worldwide for its German roots.
Lordy lordy, I’m going to be 40 in just about a month (July 22 for those armed and ready for gift purchasing ;).) That means my mom just celebrated her 60th birthday. We love Pesto’s and were just there a few weeks ago. That is unusual for us. We only get out that way a few times a year. I’ll take multiple trips in a heartbeat! [Read more…]
