For my son’s 8th birthday, we decided to break open our piggy banks and take him to Disney World. Eight is pretty much the perfect age, by my estimation. Old enough to walk around by himself — no carrying or strollers required. Old enough to remember the trip and treasure the memory. But still young enough that he isn’t too cool for the magic. Right in the sweet spot of childhood.

October is the perfect month to rediscover the magic of reading. As autumn leaves fall and Halloween approaches, a good book can transport us to haunted houses, mysterious places or faraway worlds. Reading sparks imagination, builds knowledge and offers a welcome escape from everyday life. This October, turn off the television, grab a blanket and open a book. Whether it is spooky, suspenseful or simply inspiring, every great story begins with turning the first page.

There is a distinct magic in the air across Genesee County once autumn arrives. From the crisp morning breeze rolling off local lakes to the canvas of red and gold painting our city, we know that fall isn’t just a season, it’s a lifestyle. Here in mid-Michigan, our autumns are amazeballs and active, filled with everything from Friday night traditions and weekend tailgates to elegant charity fundraisers and crisp orchard hayrides. Transitioning your wardrobe and home for this dynamic season means finding pieces that effortlessly balance cozy comfort with chic versatility while building toward the holiday season.

In the Bible, the book of Joshua tells the account of God’s people as they entered the land God had promised them. They came to the Jordan River during the spring floods and couldn’t cross. God directed them forward anyway, and as soon as the priests’ feet touched the water, it split in two, leaving dry ground for the people to safely cross. As they crossed the riverbed, Joshua directed 12 men to pick up a large stone and carry it on his shoulder to the other side. These stones would become a memorial to God.
