The NYE decorations and party hats have been packed away for another year, and the Christmas tree is coming down this weekend. However, Scott and I are still in party mode because it’s almost time for Jump Back Ball! Much to Scott’s chagrin, I tend to plan everything way in…
Happy New Year! While I sit here watching videos from today’s Philadelphia Mummers Parade (the country’s oldest – and arguably most fun – folk parade), I’m grateful for a quiet start to 2013. Scott’s and my New Year’s Eve was much more subdued than usual as we enjoyed a small gathering over at BEaLittleWeird‘s house…
Christmas came early for Cleveland food-and-drink lovers at last week’s Emerging Chefs Naughty Claus. Going in, I knew if there was anyone who could break up the monotony of holiday meals, it would be the Emerging Chefs team. And I was not disappointed as they teamed with Chef Adam Lambert…
Merry Christmas! While I feel like Cleveland is my home 364 days out of the year, Christmas is the one day where things feel a little out of place because our family isn’t here. Today, for instance, has consisted of a quiet day of Scott and I playing Marvel vs Capcom…
Bit o’ Blogkeeping: You have until 11:59pm on Monday, Dec. 24 to enter my Damn Right I’m From Cleveland giveaway. I’ll announce the winner on Christmas Day! As I’ve blogged before, my lack of cooking skills is a bit notorious. In fact the last (and only) time I ever baked something…

I am continually humbled by the loyalty of Cleveland sports fans. Raised on the Philadelphia Eagles, I would lament year after year when we would make it to the playoffs just to blow it at the last second (trust me, given the Eagles’ current record, the irony of that statement is…
Did you know a clandestine society makes its home on the shores of Lake Erie? The 12 and 12 believe that the Grimms’ tragic 12 Dancing Princesses wasn’t just a fairytale and work to reunite the princesses and their suitors. Oh yeah, and they throw really great parties. Earlier this week, Scott…
Cleveland’s weather hasn’t been able to make up its mind lately – some days have been beautiful and warm (definitely not December weather). Others draped in fog. And then this weekend’s forecast calls for rain and possibly snow. I know for me, this can make it difficult when putting together my holiday plans. Fortunately, you can surround yourself with…
Over the last couple of months, the Cleveland Museum of Art has been — well, literally — mixing things up when it comes to drawing in new audiences to the museum. The Art Museum’s First Friday MIX events take attendees on a unique trip of the museum every month. Whether it’s your first…
