Smoke Justis Bar & Restaurant in Covington
Smoke Justis touts itself as a sports bar, but I would say the TVs spotlighting sports are not the main event here. Smoke Justis is a great hangout for friends or family, even if sports is not your thing. Smoke Justis has a basement full of video games and offers live music on a regular...
The Covington Coffee Company
After an early morning soccer game recently my dad and I decided to grab a bite to eat for breakfast. He suggested Covington’s newest coffee shop, The Covington Coffee Company. He promised me homemade pastries and coffee, which I could not resist. There’s nothing that beats Fresh Coffee in the morning, particularly after a morning...
Wabi Sabi in Covington
Wabi Sabi is THE place to get Sushi in Covington. We are big fans of their sushi rolls, especially since they are made with fresh ingredients and are half price all the time when you dine in. Wabi Sabi does not just serve sushi though, there are other items on the menu for those who...
Maifest 2016
Last weekend we braved the chilly weather to spend a few hours in the Mainstrasse Village of Covington for their annual Maifest festival. It was worth the shivering to dine on steak tips & funnel cake, drink local brews, ride a few rides, listen to music, hang out with friends and see some cool art...
Inspirado at Madison Gallery
Dining at Inspirado at Madison Gallery in Covington is a unique culinary and visual experience. Inspirado is not just your run of the mill restaurant, it is also an art gallery with rotating masterpieces on the walls. Once you dine there you will want to come back for the delicious food but also to see...
House of Grill ~ Persian Restaurant
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...
DevouGrass 2015 ~ Save The Date
Let me start by saying that I am a proud organizer of DevouGrass, which is a Music and Arts Festival that started last year in Devou Park as a way to bring the community together to raise money for the Children’s Home of Northern Kentucky while enjoying some great tunes and delicious food. Last year...
Cheap Date Nights in Cincinnati & Northern Kentucky
My husband and I value our date nights. We have four children, we love said children, but we also cherish our alone time. Sometimes we will jump at any chance to have a date night. While we enjoy having nice dinners in swanky restaurants from time to time, we also look for relatively cheap date...
Camp Carnegie
Wednesday was the last day of Camp Carnegie for Ella and Max. And they are STILL chattering about it days later. They loved this camp experience so much, and I loved hearing about it from them, and watching their big performances on stage at the Carnegie. I love that they spent their six days at...
Pictures of Henry by the Ohio River
Last night was a beautiful spring night, and we took advantage of the weather and spent the evening outside. First we had a scrumptious dinner (and some good brews) at Keystone Bar & Grill, where we dined outside watching the world go by. Then we took a walk down to Riverside Drive along the Ohio...
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...
Rainbow Birthday Party in the Garden
We celebrated Ella’s 10th Birthday this Summer with a Rainbow theme in the charming gardens of Stoney’s Gifts. We invited 8 of Ella’s friends, and they had a giggling good time while hanging out with the delightful Ms. Cindy (the party planner). Ms. Cindy planned a craft for the girls (sand art) and painted faces...
