Bissell Perfect Sweep Turbo REVIEW

Bissell Perfect Sweep Turbo REVIEW

A few weeks back I was asked if I would be interested in reviewing a Bissell Perfect Sweep Turbo. At first I thought…no way, I hate sweeping! And then I thought, hey wait a minute, perhaps this could make sweeping easier?!? So I decided to give it a spin! I picked up my Bissell at...

A Tavola Pizza in Over The Rhine

I had the grand opportunity to dine at A Tavola in Over the Rhine tonight…it was delicious.  It was the annual gathering of my sweet Auntie Annie and her nieces.  Each year on we get together to enjoy a meal and catch up together.  This was my first trip to A Tavola, and I loved the meal.  The great thing...

Cool Car Magnets

Cool Car Magnets
