We’ve just hit day #44 of our quarantine life -- and while we are VERY ready to get back out into the real world, we are still making the best out of it with our takeout rotation! This weekend, we pretended we were going out for a fun date night in German Village and [...]
For all of you who enjoyed (and for those who missed) this weekend's tutorial on how to make a Smoked Manhattan courtesy of my husband, here's the clip for your future enjoyment! Why not enjoy some classy cocktails during quarantine?
Wow -- crazy that we’ve almost completed week four of quarantine here in Ohio! While we are certainly missing our family outings due to this mandatory “stay-at-home” order, we’re doing everything possible to stay connected to our favorite Columbus restaurants. I’ll admit - we miss getting out, we miss people, we miss so many [...]
I’m embarrassed to admit that as a Cleveland native, my first official trip to the historic West Side Market just happened about a week ago. Growing up, I had often heard of this popular Cleveland staple, but for one reason or another, had never explored it on my own. My family and I found ourselves [...]
When you’re four years old and you have a mid-day doctor’s appointment (and you’re REALLY good during it), you probably deserve a special treat :) At least that was our excuse to finally check out the popular bakery and cafe called Dough Mama, located in Clintonville on High Street.

So, it wasn’t surprising when we had one of the best brunch experiences at his unique gastropub, [...]
There are those weeks when we just have to have a night out without the kids. I promise that I love them very much, but time away is sometimes much needed, especially during the long winter months of being cooped up in the house. So, when my husband and I discovered that three of [...]
My husband and I have always had a strong love for Clintonville. Our first home together was located in the Beechwold area and I’d be lying if I said that I didn’t miss the charm of this quaint, friendly neighborhood. One of our first hang-out spots was a tiny, hole-in-the-wall bar called The Crest [...]
It’s January. It’s cold and grey. And let’s be honest - we’re all just trying to get by here in Ohio. Just trying to make it through what always seems like an endless winter and hold out until the first few signs of spring start popping up. When my husband and I started to [...]
