*Disclosure: I will be attending an event at the new MOD Pizza in exchange for this post. The opinions expressed here, however, are my own. The newest MOD Pizza is opening this Saturday, November 14th  in Rochester Hills, and TEAM Schostak Family Restaurants (TSFR) will be hosting a Pay What You Want fundraiser, to benefit the Rochester Community Schools Foundation. The fundraiser starts at 11 a.m. and runs through dinner services, and you can pay an amount of your choosing. There will also be raffles throughout the day, and the prizes include MOD Pizza merchandise and a chance to win one free pizza per week for a year. I got the chance to check out the Northville MOD location back in August, and it was very tasty. I'm looking forward to the Rochester Hills opening too, as the decor is supposed to be very location-specific. More info: TEAM Schostak Family Restaurants (TSFR), a Michigan-based family-owned restaurant group with an expansive portfolio of casual, quick serv...

*Disclosure: I am a Family Christian blogger and have been compensated for this post. The opinions expressed here, however, are my own. The Song  will be in theaters this weekend (9/26/14), and it looks like it could be interesting. I love movies that focus on music, and the film was shot on location in Nashville and Kentucky - I visited Nashville  this year for my first trip there, and it definitely earns its nickname as Music City. The trailer also has a lot of violin in it, and I am a violin player (and love when I hear violin music in movies). Official synopsis: THE SONG is a music-driven romantic drama about things we all pursue—love and meaning. Aspiring singer—‐songwriter Jed King is struggling to catch a break and escape the long shadow of his famous father when he reluctantly agrees to a gig at a local vineyard harvest festival. Jed meets the vineyard owner’s daughter, Rose, and a romance quickly blooms. Soon after their wedding, Jed writes Rose “The So...
