One of our favorite places to grab a burger in Northern Kentucky is Herb n Thelma’s Tavern. This little bar has been an institution in Covington since 1939. It is a quintessential small town bar where people greet you with a friendly smile and the bartender will probably even remember your brew of choice. This place is...
A few years ago my family and I had the opportunity to attend LEGO® KidsFest when it rolled through Cincinnati and it was a fabulously fun evening for all of us! The kids got to see some bigger than life LEGO models, race LEGO cars that they built themselves, play in a giant pile of LEGO...
This week at the Aronoff Center in Cincinnati Beauty and the Beast will be taking the stage, and I for one cannot wait! I have already warned my daughter that I will most likely be belting out “Be Our Guest” right there with Lumiere. Beauty and the Beast is my favorite Disney movie,...
While on our way to Sandusky this week we made a pit stop in the nearby Village of Milan, Ohio to have lunch. Milan, Ohio is about three and a half hours north of the Greater Cincinnati area where we live. We drove through this charming town last fall on our way to Sandusky for...
I have to say that I am really happy with all of the new and interesting restaurants popping up in Covington. House of Grill on Fifth Street is one of the latest restaurants to open up and their specialty is Persian Cuisine. I’ve never been to a Persian restaurant, so my curiosity was piqued, especially after...
One of my favorite things to do each spring is to attend the Cincinnati Preservation Association’s Spring House Tour. Each year they select a unique and historic neighborhood in Cincinnati to spotlight. Each year’s Spring House Tour showcases a collection of beautiful homes that have a rich history. My father and I have been going to this tour...
We have recently become obsessed with Huevos Rancheros for breakfast (and sometimes lunch) at our house. We first tried Huevos Rancheros (Rancher’s Eggs) at the Green Dog Cafe and immediately fell in love. We went home and made some ourselves the very next day. While our Huevos Rancheros aren’t just like those at Green...
I adore Sharpie markers, and I have a pretty big collection that I use when working on my Cards by Katie note cards. And they are perfect for doodling! Adult coloring sheets are all the rage right now, but sometimes I’d rather just sit and doodle with a pen or marker. With the new book...
Frida 602 in the Main Strasse Village is a perfect addition to a neighborhood full of interesting restaurants offering up a variety of menu options. Frida 602 brings to us a restaurant (and bar) that serves up “Latin street cuisine”. The uber-creative couple Paul Weckman and Emily Wolff, who also own Otto’s, recently renovated a great old...
Our family loves to spend time at the Red River Gorge. Each year we spend our Fall Break tent camping and hiking at the Red River Gorge (provided the weather cooperates). When we first started going, we weren’t very good campers at all but since then I’ve read more expert camping information and reviews, bought...
Today we took a long drive in the country and made a stop in Rabbit Hash, Kentucky. We love this quaint little town on the banks of the Ohio River. It’s the only town that I know of that has a four legged friend as a mayor, a Border Collie named Lucy Lou. We have been...
Broadway in Cincinnati has a very special limited run show at the Aronoff right now…The Book of Mormon! We had the opportunity to see the show last night and I laughed so hard that I even snorted at one point, much to my embarrassment. Let me start by saying that this show is NOT suitable...
