McGlasson’s Farm in Boone County
McGlasson’s Farm in Boone County is a favorite of mine, as I’ve been visiting them since I was a child to find the perfect pumpkin each year. I loved taking a drive in the country along Route 8 (River Road) with my family when I was young, and then in a pickup truck with Michael...
Date Night :: Twilight in the Gardens at Baker Hunt
You know by now that our family loves the arts. Our children are involved in art programs at several different places, one of which is Baker Hunt. Baker Hunt has a special place in my heart because of the history of this institution. My great-grandmother participated in art programs at Baker Hunt, and several of...
People Watching at the Old West Festival
The Old West Festival opened up this weekend and we raced right up on opening day. This was our third year in a row to visit. It’s become an event that we just don’t want to miss. There’s so much to do and see. But one of my favorite things to do at the Old...
A Day Out With Thomas in Lebanon
We went to the Lebanon Railroad this morning to meet Thomas the Train. Henry and his cousin Will had such a great time on our train ride and enjoying all the activities they had for the munchkins. There were bounce houses, Thomas the Train cartoons, balloon artists, wooden train sets to play with and...
Cones for the Cure :: Graeter’s is Giving Away FREE Scoops of Ice Cream!
It’s not like I needed another reason to love Graeter’s Ice Cream, but now my favorite Ice Cream makers have endeared themselves to me even more. Their annual “Cones for the Cure” campaign kicks off this week and they will be sharing FREE scoops of Elena’s Blueberry Pie Ice Cream at all of their local stores...

LumenoCity in Washington Park
Last night we attended the most magical artistic performance that I’ve seen in years. And I’ve seen some terrific shows, but this event was in a class of it’s own. The Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra teamed up with the May Festival Chorus, Singers from the Cincinnati Opera, and dancers from the Cincinnati Ballet to put on...
A Delightful Day in OTR :: A Picnic in Washington Park & Opera at Music Hall
Last Sunday I spent the day in Over the Rhine with my dad, my sister and my two eldest munchkins. We had such a wonderful day…the weather was perfect for a picnic in Washington Park, and afterwards we headed across the street to Music Hall for the Cincinnati Opera‘s production of Aida, which was AMAZING....
Date Night at BrewRiver GastroPub
Each year for our anniversary we try to sneak away from the munchkins for a date night. We try to choose a new restaurant to try…one that’s locally owned and unique. A few weeks back at the Bluegrass for Babies’ Midsummer Harvest I met Michael Shields, the chef from BrewRiver GastroPub. I watched him work...
Cincinnati Shakespeare Company presents The 39 Steps
I was invited by ArtsWave to attend a media preview of The 39 Steps at the Cincinnati Shakespeare Company this week. For as many shows as I’ve seen around town, I’ve never been to the Cincinnati Shakespeare Company (at least not since that building housed the Real Movies…remember that place?!?!). I’m so glad I remedied...
Moda Yoga
Recently my family was given the opportunity to try out Moda Yoga for a month. We had an adult pass and a child’s pass. Since my schedule for this particular month seemed crazier than usual running kids all over the place and such, I offered the pass to Michael. He was eager to try it...
