Correct me if I'm wrong, but there are few things more joy inducing than having a holiday line up with a weekend, giving many families several days off in a row. I know I'm excited, that's for sure! Fresno's heat can make planning fun things to do with the family a little but tricky, seeing as melting family members and bbq guests is somewhat undesirable.

Who is William Saroyan and why does he have a bust?
Fresno is home to many historic sites. However, even though one may be from Fresno, one may not know where all of the historic sites are, or why they are important. This happened to me. I am a native Fresnan. I grew up in Fresno, graduated from Central High, and later Fresno State. My family is from here, and even though I've lived in many different places throughout California, my heart … [Read more...]
Speakeasy or Man cave?
Did you know there are homes in Fresno and Clovis that have complete basements? I’m not talking about homes that have a stairway down to a small concrete walled area that your grandmother used to store her jarred tomatoes in, or in my case grandfather who kept his wine and whiskey in ;).

A doctor or a dentist. Admit it - knowing someone can vouch for that person's professionalism, skill, honesty and friendliness matters. In conversations with other Fresnans, both online and in-person, the topic of … [Read more...]
Farmer’s Markets in the FresYes and Clovis area
One of the things I love most about living in the valley is all of the wonderful fruits and vegetables so readily available. During this time of year we see lots of yummy fruits. My absolute favorite fruit is the apricot, and I scour the farmer's markets around town trying each variety.

FresYes Families: Making summer reading fun for kids
Summer vacation for FresYes kiddos has officially begun! With summer's carefree days of sun, swimming, barbecues and friends comes one little problem: summer learning loss. The phrase is being heard more often and morphed a bit too, as you may have heard it referred to as the "summer slide." Call it what you like, but the reality is when kids stop all educational activities for the summer, they … [Read more...]
