By Amy Hanten, on April 2nd, 2012 Happy Spring! We’ve had some unbelievably warm days and I’ve even grilled out a few times already!

By Amy Hanten, on December 9th, 2011 Crowded parking lots, busy malls and writing out all those Christmas cards…the holidays can be a very busy time! I try to take a breath and remember what the season is really all about. Don’t sweat the small stuff and, remember, you don’t have to do it all. I want to celebrate the little things

By Amy Hanten, on November 7th, 2011 Fall is such a wonderful time of year. After a busy summer, things just seem to slow down a bit. My high school son’s cross-country season has ended so he’s around home a bit more. I’m very thankful that he had an injury free, great season, in fact, his team went to state! It’s getting

By Amy Hanten, on September 6th, 2011 Wow! Where did summer go? It seems to always fly by. We did have some great family time this summer. One of my favorites was a bike ride in Door County.
