Making Our Escape to Geneva-on-the-Lake

As a kid, my favorite time of year would be when we’d travel down to the Chesapeake Bay in Virginia during the summer. Mornings would be spent waking up to the sound of the waves outside our windows, followed by days fishing, swimming, and rowing. If I wasn’t in the water, I’d be nearby – […]

From helping out at the International Children’s Festival to Neighborhood Dine-Arounds and the recent Mini-Golf Par-Tee, Partners offers a broad spectrum…

Coffee Lovers Unite! Cleveland Brews For the Love of Latte Art

Between seeing Avengers three times over the last four days (some may say I have a problem; I prefer to think Avengers is just that damn good) and entertaining my parents during this weekend’s visit, I was a bit exhausted when I got to work on Monday.

In the Next Room, or the Vibrator Play at the Cleveland Play House

With a name like “the Vibrator Play” one can’t help but have some bubbling expectations as they take their seat at Cleveland Play House’s latest production. Is it a bawdy tale of lust and love? A stark look at humanity’s primal urges? An expose on 1950s horror movie gimmicks? And how important was that ‘mature […]

Giveaway: Win 2 Tickets to the Spring Fabulous Food Show

When Scott and I bought our house a few years ago, our first investment for the outside was a nice patio set. We knew that if we wanted something to last awhile, we’d have to splurge a bit. And after looking back on summer nights spent grilling and enjoying our backyard, the set we got […]
