When I lived in Philly, I walked and took public transit a lot. For some reason, though, when I moved to Cleveland that changed. Whether it was the free parking at work or sheer laziness at not wanting to learn a new route, when I lived in Shaker Heights I never…
Last week, I posted about my first trip to Blossom Music Festival to see the Cleveland Orchestra. I don’t know what took me so long to get out to the summer concert hotspot, but Scott and I tried to make up for lost time by paying it a return visit this past weekend. In addition…
After Saturday’s 5K, this past weekend had another “first” for me. Fortunately, it was a much more leisurely kind of “first” – my first visit to Blossom Music Festival. On Sunday evening the Cleveland Orchestra had a “Meet the Musicians” night for media and bloggers followed by a concert of Bruckner’s…
When I woke up on Saturday, it felt like Christmas morning. However, the excitement and adrenaline weren’t for unwrapping presents under the tree. It was raceday – my first 5K. After Alicia at Poise in Parma announced that July 9th’s Ohio Blogging Meetup would be The Run for the Pierogies, it was the motivator I…
When I sat down to write this post I realized it’s been a few months since I blogged about a play (last time was my review of Cleveland Play House’s beautiful Legacy of Light). Thanks to a belated anniversary present from Scott, I’m remedying that situation today! As I mentioned when…
Although this weekend was partially about catching up on my to-do list, it was also time to celebrate the beautiful Cleveland summer we’ve been having and the Fourth of July. There is something to be said about Independence Day. Even for just a few days, we forget our disillusionment with current politics and celebrate the history we share and…
I don’t think I’ve ever looked more forward to a 3-day weekend than I am this July 4th holiday. And while it’s partially because I love picnics and July 4th is always full of them, it’s mostly because I need that one extra day to work on my to-do list. I…
Scott and I finally saw Midnight in Paris last week (which hands down deserves its 92% rating on Rotten Tomatoes). His mom and sister had been urging me for weeks to see Woody Allen’s latest comedy because like Owen Wilson’s character, I can often be a sucker for nostalgia. From shopping…
With my parents living in Virginia, I didn’t get to celebrate Father’s Day with my dad. However, in honor of my dad’s love for fixing things (and my love of all things kitsch), Scott and I figured we would do something that was ‘dad-approved’ and headed over to The Avon…
By no stretch of the imagination am I an athlete. If you’ve been following this blog even for a short while, you’ll know my huge loves are food and the arts. And although I enjoy watching sports, I don’t often participate in them. A huge reason for this is that I’m…
