Last Friday night we had a date night and had the pleasure of attending the opening night of The Cincinnati Shakespeare Company’s latest production, “The Comedy of Errors”. As soon as we entered the lobby we could tell it was going to be a festive evening. The lobby was decked out in carnival decorations, the...
Last week we did so much better at eating dinner at home vs. dining out. There was one evening that Michael was working late and I had no desire to cook so I took the kids out to eat, but only because we had FREE coupons for kids meals. And then on Friday night we...
I’ve been trying to make healthy changes for myself and for my family, and one thing I’ve decided to try is to have a salad each day, preferably at lunch because that’s the meal that I make the most bad decisions about. It seems that I’m usually busy mid-day and end up eating fast food...
One of our family’s most treasured traditions during the Christmas season is to get all dolled up and spend an afternoon downtown. The highlight of this afternoon is attending The Children’s Theatre holiday production of the year and then we follow it up with dinner at Arnold’s. This year the Children’s Theatre will be presenting...
I didn’t realize until a few weeks ago that we have a new Mellow Mushroom in town. The Hyde Park Mellow Mushroom opened earlier this year, and Michael and I were invited to try dinner there recently. We had a great getaway dinner without the rug-rats and enjoyed a delicious dinner. What really struck me...

Tuesday night was opening night for the hit musical “Once”presented by Broadway in Cincinnati at the Aronoff Center for the Arts in Cincinnati. My friend and I left our children behind and started our evening out by having a delicious dinner at Arnold’s, which is Cincinnati’s oldest bar and one of my favorite restaurants downtown. After dinner and...
When I was asked to review the VTech InnoTab MAX I literally jumped at the chance. Technology is a lifesaver in our house for my sanity. While the kids all have handheld electronic devices, their favorite thing to do is to fight over who’s turn it is on their parents’ tablets. Which is only complicated...
Here we are…another Monday, another Menu Plan! Last week was CRAZY! I was planning the festival for my children’s school, so we ate out way too much, but we did end up having some GREAT meals at home as well! For more menu planning inspiration visit my Recipe Archives or OrgJunkie’s Menu Plan Monday roundup....
