Fresh Water Featuring CLE Bloggers
After Saturday’s Blogger 5K and Sunday’s Blogger Night at the Orchestra, the past week has been all about discovering and reading new blogs. The trend continued yesterday when this week’s Fresh Water came out. Fresh Water is a weekly e-magazine and website that focuses on creative people and organizations who call Cleveland home. Recent articles…
Summers with the Cleveland Orchestra at Blossom
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…
Run for the Pierogies – Blogger Meetup and My First 5K
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…
Jersey Boys at PlayhouseSquare
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…
Some Enchanted (Holiday) Weekend
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…
Gearing Up for NEO Food Tours' Kamm's Corners Market Series with AMP 150 – July 10
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…
Time Traveling with Ingenuity Cleveland, Emerging Chefs and PlayhouseSquare
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…
My Guest Post on The Cleveland Sound: Eats and Beats at Rock Hall Chef Jam
I love a good change of pace so I”m happy to share that this week I was featured on The Cleveland Sound with a review of the Rock Hall’s Chef Jam 2011. The write up is a bit different than what I normally do with less of a focus on me and more covering/reporting on…
Spending Father's Day at the Avon Duct Tape Festival
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…
The Chubby Cook Opens in Beachwood, Ohio
I headed out to my old Eastside stomping grounds this week to try a new food concept from Scott Groth – The Chubby Cook in Beachwood. What started as a popular food blog featuring Scott’s photographs, reviews and recipes has transformed into a brick and mortar establishment for grab-and-go lunches,…
