Fall is the perfect time for festivals, and one of the best festivals in our area (in my humble opinion) is the Old West Festival in Williamsburg, Ohio. Each year we’ve been lucky enough to receive tickets to this event as part of my promoting the festival. I love promoting this festival, as it’s one...
My Obsession with Thirty-One Products {Giveaway}
It’s no secret that I’m obsessed with bags. I have a ridiculous collection of bags and totes, it’s so bad that I’m pretty sure Michael might start to ban them at some point. But that’s because he doesn’t understand the need to have the perfect bag for every event & outing! And to fill all...

A Weekend Away and Dinner at Knotty Pine on the Bayou

This weekend Michael and I were invited to attend the opening performance of The Great Gatsby at the Cincinnati Shakespeare Company in Cincinnati.

Easy Dinner Ideas for Busy Nights
School has begun, and already I’m falling into the trap of opting for the easy way out when it comes to making dinner. We’ve eaten out way too much and I’ve not stuck to my menu plan. I need to take more time when planning out my weekly menu and think about each evening carefully. ...
