Celebrate Babies!
This weekend on “Where You Live” we’re celebrating babies!! It’s a super sweet show you’re not going to want to miss! We visit the Spectrum Health Family Birth Center to meet some new moms and their newborns (they are so precious!). We’ll get some expert advise from Helen DeVos Children’s Hospital experts on safe sleep for infants. Priority Health wellness friends will share simple workouts to do at home with baby and you can check out all the latest in baby gear at Meijer! Plus, we have a tender story of a local family that recently adopted a toddler from Haiti through Bethany Christian Services. It’s a heart warming story for sure!! And a Pine Rest Christian Services therapist shares insights for all parents on making children feel like an important part of the family. We’ll also announce our 2010 Park Party schedule! It’s a big show this weekend, “Where You Live” Saturday at 7:30 a.m. and p.m. on WOTV 4 and 6:30 p.m. on WOOD TV 8.
Schools Going Green!
One of the things I love 
about my job is visiting schools around West Michigan and meeting all the amazing students, teachers and parents. This morning I had the honor of being a part of a school assembly at Rosy Mounds Elementary School in Grand Haven. We were kicking off a month long “Go Green” challenge asking students to live a little greener both at school and at home. A few special treats included a visit from a Priority Health Cyclist, the Grand Haven High School Green Team and the Grand Haven High School Green Guys!! It was a super fun morning watching the students get fired up to “Go Green’! Congrats to that entire district for making it a priority to care for our planet. I’d love to hear what your school is doing to “Go Green”!

Making the Most of the Holidays!
Students at Ridge Park Charter Academy
I love this time of year-the decorations, the Christmas music and the excitement kids have waiting for the big day! I also love doing special holiday events and shows. This weekend on “Where You Live” we’ll look at how families around West Michigan celebrate. The show is taped at Ridge Park Charter Academy in Grand Rapids where they have students from 20 different countries. This school celebrates with a special “World Party Week” where each classroom studies a country-learning about the dress, customs and cultures of each place. The best part is that there are students in the building from each of the countries the kids are learning about so it really brings things to life! The show will also feature great ideas on ways to save on holiday gift giving at Goodwill, healthy snacks your kids will love, tips from a Priority Health expert on ways to workout while finishing your shopping and highlights from a special event at Meijer that truly captures the spirit of the season! This season take time to celebrate the things that matter most-Where You Live!
