It’s been a very wintery winter with all the snow and the freezing cold temperatures. If you haven’t replenished your hot chocolate, tea or coffee supply this is your reminder. The roads…well I have driven in better conditions and I have driven in worse conditions. Whatever the weather is just be careful wherever you have […]
A few months ago one of my team members walked into work wearing the most perfect fuchsia blazer. I was immediately obsessed and told her as much. Since we don’t always work in the same office I thought it would be OK if I bought the blazer myself, but after some digging I discovered it […]
Enjoying a Michigan winter takes a certain set of skills — one of those being the ability to make a great soup. I’ve written before that I don’t love to cook but, since my mom passed away, I’ve found some comfort (not to mention satisfaction) in preparing meals — and even pies from scratch — […]
One of the many benefits our readers get by engaging with our locally-owned community newspapers is a look inside their local schools. It’s always great to see the various special events, clubs, sports teams, assemblies and learning projects area students participate in throughout the year.

Merry Christmas, everyone! Hope everyone is enjoying the holidays celebrating old traditions and creating new traditions. Our tradition is having Papa Price and Grammi Reardon over for breakfast on Christmas morning. Then, unwrapping presents (that were probably just wrapped the night before, if I am going to be honest.) The boys play while the adults […]
The other night my husband and I tried a new restaurant for dinner. The entire experience was great. The place is cozy, the holiday décor was charming, the food was delicious and the service was some of the best we’ve had. What really stuck with us, however, is how the experienced ended. Because we got […]
By the time you read this column, I will officially be 29 years old. Last year I talked about 28 lessons in 28 years, and while I’m sure I can come up with another 29 lessons, I thought I’d prefer to reflect on the past year and mention the 29 best moments for me in […]
Our team at View Newspaper Group is all about making connections. We like to focus on what our readers and the communities we serve have in common. However, while doing research for a client project recently I came across a statistic I wish we didn’t all have in common. According to Feeding America 100% of […]
