I can’t believe summer is already halfway through. On the one hand, it’s mid-July and Labor Day feels like it’s around the corner. But then I also feel like the Cleveland Zoological Society’s ZippityZooDoo was just yesterday. Their annual summer kickoff was so much fun that it’ll be hard to…
Happy Fourth of July, everyone! I hope you have a festive day enjoying cookouts, fireworks and celebrations of Independence Day. And if you’re off from work tomorrow, make the most of the extra-long weekend! I’m celebrating on the blog with a Luau on the Lake winner and special offer: After…

More than just a party with the animals, ZippityZooDoo has also been raising money for the last 40 years for the Zoo’s educational initiatives – making it Cleveland’s longest running benefit.…
For as much fun as I had this past weekend nerding out over Felicia Day, Peter Davison and Brian Posehn, the downside of our roadtrip to Chicago was that I had to miss MedWish’s Band Aid Bash on Saturday night. Fortunately, Katie O. was able to attend for me and share her experience. Once…
I wish every day could start with a Stormtrooper hug. Well, that and by giving away tickets to an event everyone is as excited for as the Silver Spoon Awards Party!
