Great Big Home and Garden Show Giveaway
One of the goals on my 30×30 list is to start a major home improvement this year. Scott and I have settled into our house over the last two years, and it’s time to start a couple projects. Short-term? We’re hoping to re-tile one of our rooms this summer. Long-term? We have plans…
The Art of Engagement, Part 1: Cleveland Play House
Considering how much it interests me now, I’m sometimes surprised that it wasn’t until I was about to head off to college that the theatre bug bit me. I had enjoyed seeing plays and musicals as a child and had performed in a couple of shows like a lot of kids with…
The Root Cafe: The Silver Lining in My Wifi-Less World
I’m back – and just in time for the snow! As horrendous as my 2-hour drive to work was this morning, I’m excited for the snow because it’ll be the perfect backdrop for this weekend’s winter fun. On Saturday, Scott and I are heading to Progressive Field for Indians Snow Days. This weekend is…
Guest Post: Eat Drink Cleveland's Resolution Recipes

Ringing in 2012 with Fat Head's Brewery and #TeamSawyer Tweetup Heads Up
I love New Year’s Eve – hanging out with friends, Dick Clark’s admirable tenacity, the anticipation of the countdown. However, when it comes to partying on New Year’s Eve, I prefer a low-key gathering. Last year, we had friends out from Philly and rang in 2011 with a dinner at home that featured some of our…
2011 in Review, the Clue Into CLE Edition
Happy New Year’s Eve Eve! I am so excited because today is the last day before I go on vacation for a couple of weeks. Scott and I are starting things off with a friend’s birthday celebration at Light Bistro, then a lowkey New Year’s Eve at Fat Head’s Brewpub and hopefully…
Our Cleveland-inspired Christmas Dinner
The best gift that Scott and I gave each other this Christmas was a day off. We had visited Scott’s parents a few weekends ago for an early Christmas. And on Christmas Eve, my parents, sister, Scott and I met halfway between Virginia and Cleveland for our fourth annual Christmas Eve…
Happy Dog: My Christmas Miracle
As I mentioned in my last post, I had been feeling a little down earlier this week – overwhelmed and definitely not in the holiday spirit. So, in hopes of brightening my mood and forcing myself to forget about the holidays for a few minutes, I made plans for dinner with an old…
