I still remember how excited we were when we discovered that July 25th would fall on a Saturday this year -- and it would be the PERFECT date to hold our annual Christmas in July party. I had visions of getting a food truck, whipping up the perfect signature cocktail, holding our annual cookie baking [...]
If you live in Central Ohio, you've likely had the pleasure of enjoying a stroll through the North Market on a Saturday afternoon, gathering a beautiful assortment of fresh meats, pasta, veggies, bread, wine.... the list goes on and on. The market is a Columbus staple, and despite the recent obstacles that COVID-19 has brought [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]

Let me just say, how [...]
It’s quite difficult to dine out in Columbus these days without going to one of Cameron Mitchell’s establishments. Throughout the city, his restaurants continuously take the cake when it comes to atmosphere, service and of course, food. 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 [...]
Have you ever had one of those weekends where you literally DO NOT leave the house? It had been a while for us due to the craziness of the holidays, but we finally found ourselves with no plans on a rainy January weekend. We embraced it for the first 48 hours, but by Sunday, [...]
