I am always on the lookout for ways to get my children to get creative. They love doing so many crafty projects…whether it be with paper, recycled objects from around the house, or just sticks and rocks they find outside. When I was offered a copy of “Make Your Own Zoo” for review purposes I...
Planning brunch for a crowd is harder than planning lunch or dinner, in my opinion. That’s why I love a good breakfast egg casserole to take to a brunch party. It took me a long time, but I think I’ve finally put together a winning egg casserole recipe. I do not like a soggy egg...
A short while back a box of goodies arrived in the mail and all of a sudden war was declared at our house. The package contained a huge collection of Zebra Pen products and we all hurried to stake claim on which pens we wanted. Ella is still mad at me for claiming an entire...

Recently our family visited the Cincinnati Museum Center to see the Vikings: Beyond the Legend exhibit and we all loved it. It’s a great learning experience for all ages. I had no idea what to expect from this exhibit and I went into it not knowing much about Viking history at all. I was impressed...
Cincinnati has so many events going on during the holidays, including Christmas Saengerfest that is happening on December 2nd and 3rd in Over the Rhine. Christmas Saengerfest is one of our most treasured holiday traditions. We usually start the evening with dinner at Arnold’s and then head to Washington Park to park the van...
The epic Broadway show The Phantom of the Opera has returned to Cincinnati. You can see the show at the Aronoff Center thanks to Broadway in Cincinnati. I have seen The Phantom of the Opera several times, and each time I’m completely captivated and entranced. It is one of my all time favorite Broadway shows....
When our family is travelling we really try to avoid stopping at chain restaurants for meals along the way. Even if it’s just for lunch on a long drive, I would much rather stop at a unique, locally owned restaurant for a meal than to grab something at a restaurant you can find in any...
One of my all time favorite holiday movies is coming to the stage this December. Elf the Musical JR is being performed by the Children’s Theatre of Cincinnati at the Taft. Going to the Children’s Theatre’s holiday productions is one of our favorite Christmas traditions. We love going downtown to celebrate the holidays with kid-friendly theatre....
