Last November I had the chance to spend the morning at MedWish for a Blogger Volunteer Day. Although it meant waking up before 6am on a Saturday, getting to see the effects of MedWish’s unique mission was more than worth it. In Northeast Ohio, we are very lucky that our hospitals are filled with an abundance of medical supplies. Unfortunately, there are…
Over the last year, I’ve really enjoyed getting involved with the Cleveland Foodbank’s new volunteer group, YP Pantry. I had volunteered at the Foodbank a few times previously with the Ohio Blogging Association. However, YP Pantry’s monthly volunteer and social events have been about much more than getting to know other Cleveland young…
As we March into Spring, eager to trade in those winter coats for short sleeves, Cleveland is full of upcoming events to help shake the winter blahs. Here are a few I’m looking forward to. Be sure to leave a comment with your picks! Please follow and like us:
There’s nothing like starting the week with a Monday off from work! My plans for the day include catching up on some reading and introducing Kimberly to Cafe Melissa. But first, I’m excited to announce two winners of my PlayhouseSquare Broadway Launch Giveaway! Congratulations, entries 20 and 6 – Beth at Craveable Cleveland and Kerry at Burritos and…
Ever wonder how Willy, the Cleveland Zoo’s 13,000-lb bull elephant, gets along with Kallie, Martika, Shenga and Moshi, the herd’s female elephants? Want to know more about mating behaviors of the Zoo’s other creatures big and small? At last week’s Animal Attractions I got my fair share of answers to the birds and the bees at…
Valentine’s Day is only a couple days away. If you go out to celebrate, WhyCLE has Cleveland Valentine’s events for every sense and Bite Buff has some delicious dining options for you. Me? Scott and I keep it quiet on Valentine’s Day because we celebrate our anniversary the following week. This year,…
Each year when October rolls around, I marvel at the number of birthdays that fall during the month. And then I do a little math, count back 9 months, and it all makes sense to what people were doing a lot of the previous February. The Cleveland Metroparks Zoo understands that couples like…
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…
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…
This Thanksgiving, there were many things to be thankful for. I’m lucky to have a pretty swell husband (understatement), fantastic parents and sister, friends and even in-laws (congrats Laura and Max on your engagement!). From work to home and in between, there’s not much to complain about. And even better, I get…
