Let's reminisce about Grand Rapids’ On Tap for a minute.  It was the big beer festival we had downtown at Calder Plaza, July 15th.  We had great beers from all over the country including a large showing of the West Michigan breweries, and we had a great turn out, with a fun group of people trying all the different brews we had...

With the month of “America” wrapping up, (that’s what I think of July, between the 4th, vacations, this year the Made In America rally at the White House, it makes sense that July would be the month of America.) I thought this would be a good time to go back to the beginning of the month when we were all hanging out for Amway Family Fireworks...

Normally, sex is seen as a very *hush hush* type of topic - one that you don't really talk about unless with a group of friends, but sex is OKAY to talk about, especially when it comes to your sexual health. So on Tuesday's, I will be sitting down with Nisha McKenzie, a PA-C and sexual counselor at Grand Rapids OB/GYN...

It's always a nice surprise when you walk into work and an unexpected gift is there for you. Flowers, a note, maybe a present. I don't know what you'd consider this but it was definitely unexpected... and very random. When I walked into my office this morning I was surprised to see this on my desk...

Forget the same old boring lunch! Have lunch while enjoying music from singer Ruth B. And we don't mean on your radio or phone... we're talkin' IN PERSON! On Thursday, May 18th, Ruth B. who is famously known for her song "Lost Boy" will be performing an acoustic set while you enjoy a delicious lunch...

It's absolutely NO secret that I am addicted to the best soap opera in the world, General Hospital. Actually addiction might be an understatement. I'm Christine and I'm a General Hospital fanatic... and I have no shame. So much so that not once but TWICE now I've traveled to meet some of the cast from my favorite show...

No, not that type of shower to clean yourself. I'm talking about the other kind of shower. The shower where you "shower" someone else in love and presents while pretending to be happy for them. I make no secret about my age. I don't lie when people assume I'm younger...

The weirdest thing happened to me on Sunday when I went to the mall. So weird that I left the mall with one shoe. Obviously, I arrived there with both shoes on my feet but not so much when I left. I was at Nordstrom cuz I needed to buy makeup but because I have a shopping addiction, I of course made my way upstairs and decided to look around before the mall closed at 6...

If you know me, you know I'm all about that comfy life. I wear leggings most of the week but so I seem more "professional" I try and wear jeans at least twice a week LOL. But not everyone has the luxury of being able to wear what they want to work and those people are missing out...

I still remember the very first time I saw Hanson on TV it was their "Mmmbop" video; a time before social media and finding gray strands in my hair; so its crazy to believe that it's been 20 years since that song was released! And 25 years since the brothers formed their band...

It's Valentine's Day so Rob & I were back in our pseudo-kitchen trying something new. Sometimes around certain holidays, Oreo's like to release new limted edition flavors and of course Rob & I have to try them all. This year it's Chocolate Strawberry Oreo. Mmm...

It doesn't sound like much of a party but it was because we had PARTY CAKE BAGELS! No, it isn't something I just made up or concocted on my own. Party Cake Bagels are a real thing. When I went grocery shopping last week, I was in the bread aisle and then something caught my attention...
