I had not heard much about IF/THEN before attending the show last night. My busy schedule of late did not allow me the time to research the show as I usually do before I go. I’m starting to realize though that this might be the way to do it when going to a show….with no pre-conceptions...
There’s a new grocery store in town, and those looking for healthy and organic groceries are going to love it! Fresh Thyme Farmers Market is opening in Newport on January 27th, and folks around here are all abuzz because we’ve been waiting for this store to open for months. I got a sneak peek at...
The Cincinnati Ballet has a way of bringing magic to the stage each year when they bring a fairy tale or children’s classic to life. This year’s fairy tale performance is Cinderella, and I’ve already heard great things about the show. I’m disappointed that time is not allowing for us to make it to the...
I have yet to make my way to Canada but I’ve heard many great things about Canadian Poutine. Poutine is a dish made from French Fries topped with gravy and cheese curds. It might sound unusual, but once you’ve had it you just might be hooked. Even though I have yet to try traditional Poutine,...

I have some big news to share. From...
Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day, but often times our mornings are just too hectic for anything more than eggs and toast. On the weekends we like to shake things up though and have delicious late morning brunch as opposed to hurried early morning grab and go breakfasts. Over the holidays I came up...
There’s something about cold weather and winter that gets me dreaming about vacations. I need to have something fun to look forward to after the cold dreary months!

My laptop died over the holidays, and I used the opportunity to spend some time offline and work on other projects that needed my attention. I missed a few emails along the way, and didn’t spend an inordinate amount of time doing anything online. So when it came time to go see Kinky Boots at...
It’s the most wonderful time of the year, filled with many wonderful traditions. And as I’ve mentioned, one of our favorite traditions is attending the Christmas Saengerfest in Over the Rhine.
