Picture-Perfect Pond

By Nancy Moffett Oh, the joys of summer! Lounging on the patio with a cool drink…soaking up the sunshine in a warm summer breeze…listening to the sound of running water and the chirping of birds. What’s wrong with this picture? No sounds of running water? Perhaps you’ve thought of adding a water feature to your backyard, such as a pond with plants and fish, but are concern... »

Pediatric Cancer Foundation of the Lehigh Valley, Inc.

By Jennifer LoConte Survivorship, Fun & Living Life Luke was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor at age three. At age five, he with his mother, Nicole Ronco, moved from the Lehigh Valley to Boston to undergo specialized chemotherapy. At the time, Ronco was pregnant and also had a 1½ year old daughter at home— but Luke was given a 50% chance of survival, so they we... »

Allentown Farmer's Market

A Passion For Collecting

Newman, DMD and ... »

Teaching Children Money Management Skills

By Eleanor C. Jacobs Six Easy Steps Whether children are working summer jobs, earning money cutting lawns, or receiving an allowance, now is the time to teach them how to budget and save money.

Assante Ristorante Italiano

By Cathy Kiley At the intersection of Rt. 329 and Main Street in Northampton sits an unpretentious white brick building that houses Assante Ristorante Italiano.

We were greeted at the door by family matriarch Louisa Assante, who immedi... »

Northwestern Lehigh County

By Kathryn Finegan Clark It’s the Lehigh Valley’s answer to Montana’s Big Sky —and it’s only minutes from busy Allentown. If the Valley has a secret to keep, it is surely this gorgeous northwest corner of Lehigh County, America’s 18th Century frontier. Climb a hill and see the fields spread before you, and it’s not difficult to imagine the boom of muskets, the cries of mar... »

Do-It-Yourself Gardening

By Nancy Moffett They make it look easy on those DIY television shows. A crew shows up with lots of plants and hardscape material and within two days, someone’s backyard has been transformed into an outdoor paradise.
