The fall is jam packed with things to do around metro-detroit. The hard part is finding the time to break away from the things you “think” you have to do and actually spend that special time creating new memories with the ones you love most. We hope you find that perfect blend of autumn delight this weekend. The thought of comfy clothes, warmth from the sun, campfires, pumpkins, apples, hot drinks, and fresh air does certainly make this mamma happy. enjoy!
