Send us Fan Mail A week after returning to Michigan and years of saying I'm going to go and check out the Plymouth Ice Festival, I finally did.

Send us Fan Mail The Whaley House Museum! Known for its history and its charm, is mostly famous for being one of America's most haunted locations. On a recent Saturday off, where I could have simply stayed home and relaxed, I decided on the spare of the moment, to hop in my car and take a drive, a very long drive to San Deigo to visit this gem. I didn't get to see any ghost, but I sure d...

Send us Fan Mail As someone who has done yoga many times before, I had seen videos and read articles about people doing yoga with puppies, I thought how great of an idea that is to add animals to the mix, because they have a way of bringing that sense of calmness to an environment. So quite naturally when the opportunity to register for a yoga class that incorporates goats came up, I literally jum...

Send us Fan Mail Whether you live in LA or are visiting, the main tourist attraction to go to is the famous Hollywood sign.
