October is here. The kids are settling into their school routines while busy parents and we grandparents are entering activities onto our calendars and into our phones so we won’t miss a thing. The days are cooler, leaves are beginning to fall, apple orchards are calling our names, college football is in full stride and
September is here, and I’m not sure how I feel about that. It seems like it was just spring, and somehow I didn’t find enough time over the summer to do everything I had hoped. We stayed busy, hosting a golf outing in June, celebrating several birthdays in July, and enjoying a family weekend getaway
I sure hope everyone is enjoying this Michigan summer as much as I am. As I write this column, we’re just past the Fourth of July celebrations and appreciating the fact that this beautiful country is now 250 years old. My husband and I were fortunate to be invited to two get-togethers on Lake Fenton
Last month My City celebrated its 13th year as your local magazine, focused on covering all of the creative, artistic, successful, positive individuals and events of the greater Flint area. This month, I am celebrating one year with My City. The previous publisher and editor, Vince Lorraine and Sherron Barden, created a fantastic local magazine
Are you starting to feel the energy in the air? In our family, the month of May has always been busy. From celebrating Mother’s Day, my husband’s birthday and our anniversary — this year marks 42 years for us — to remembering our military service personnel over Memorial Day weekend, there has been a lot
I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter holiday and enjoyed a fun or relaxing spring break. Taking time to focus on what matters most—family, friends, and personal well-being—is always worthwhile. I’m excited to share May’s issue of My City Magazine, which is filled with a diverse mix of engaging local stories and inspiring local residents.
There is no doubt in my mind that this has been a long, cold winter. We’ve all felt it. We’ve all complained. I like to stay active throughout the year, and I love being outside soaking up the fresh air and vitamin D that Michigan offers. For the past few years, my husband and I
I know it really doesn’t mean much in the long run, but I’m glad February is a short calendar month. It follows January, which can feel dreadfully long and cold with its 31 days here in Mid-Michigan. Now that our kids are grown and we’re no longer following our travel hockey-playing sons to winter tournaments
Happy New Year! I truly hope all of you were able to celebrate the New Year doing exactly what you wanted to be doing. While some people I know enjoy big parties and others prefer to stay home and toast the New Year while watching the televised celebrations, there are also those who treat it
Can you believe it’s the last month of 2025? Where did the year go? I came on board with My City Magazine six months ago as editor and these months have gone by so quickly. Our team has already added a few new features and we will continue to be adding new and exciting features
It’s November, and for many people, preparations for the holidays and family get-togethers are underway. It can be a stressful, challenging, exhilarating, heartwarming time of year—depending on your situation. In this month’s issue, we’re including our annual special section called My City Cares. After all, November is a time to be thankful and to care
It’s hard to believe it’s already October. Don’t we always ask ourselves, “Where did the summer go?” I know I do. Summer is my favorite season—full of sunshine, birthdays, the Fourth of July, long days, lake cruises on our old pontoon, evening walks with the dog, grilling on the patio, and soaking up all the
