3 Lighthouses to Visit in Michigan

Many times when you think of lighthouses you think of east or west coast, but we have many lighthouses right here in the Midwest.

The Indian in the Cupboard by Lynne Reid Banks It's Omri's birthday, but all he gets from his best friend, Patrick, is a little plastic Indian toy. Trying to hide his disappointment, Omri puts the Indian in a metal ...

Blended Butter Pecan Sundae Coffee

I like to enjoy coffee year-round but sometimes in the summer, I don't want to start the day with a hot cup of coffee.

I also like to enjoy flavored coffee.  This month we are enjoying the Sundae Coffee Variety Pack K-cups.   We received a Sundae Coffee 48 count variety pack filled with flavors like – Butter Pecan, Chocolate Swirl, Dulce de Leche, Ice Cream Sandwich, Maple Walnut, Mint Chocolate Chip, Mocha ...

Take the Pledge – Screen Free Family Nights with A&W Root Beer

A&W is celebrating 100 years of sweet family memories by calling on its fans to create new ones.  And I think it's a wonderful idea! Plus we love A&W Root Beer.
