You may or may not have gone to a Clarkston home football game. This is what happens at a home football game – the community fills the stands to cheer on their football team, their cheerleading team, their dance team and their marching band.

Each day is a new adventure with a 20-month-old son who is no longer an infant and just beginning the toddler stage. JD’s latest adventure takes him to the Detroit Zoo. On the sunny, warm Tuesday he walked up to the glass for the first stop and peered closely at the penguins, watching them waddle […]
