Blogkeeping note: Only a few more days to enter the Clue Into Cleveland giveaway for 4 tickets to the Cleveland Aquarium. This Saturday and Sunday, stop by the Aquarium and help them celebrate their 1st annual Shark Weekend! *** I recently declared over drinks that my dancing in public is limited to…
Sometimes when I’ve been go-go-go on a project, it’s really easy for me to lose sight of why I’m doing it. In those cases, I have to take a step back and try to look at things as if I’m brand new to it. I had the chance to do that last…

With all of the fireworks and Fourth of July parties this week, I thought the fun would start slowing down. After glancing at next weekend’s calendar, I realized how wrong I was – the month of July is just starting to heat up (and I’m not even talking about the temps)! Next weekend kicks off early with Grapes and […]

The only downside of heading out of town for friends’ wedding festivities is that I’ve had to miss out on a lot of Cleveland’s recent events – like Fashion Week Cleveland. Fortunately, I was able to turn to the most fashionable lady I know and ask her if she wanted to blog about FWC for me. […]
Although Jump Back Ball may be the first thing that comes to mind when PlayhouseSquare Partners is mentioned, the young professionals group also organizes a number of other programs year-round to support Cleveland’s downtown theatre district. 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…
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. The upside of this? I got to treat myself to coffee. Because I can be a somewhat […]
