The kiddo and I made our first solo road trip when he was just a few months old, when we moved from Wisconsin to Ohio. Once in Ohio, Hubby was gone two weeks per month, leaving me home with a baby boy. Because I wasn’t working, the kiddo and I could take off whenever we …
I’m a big believer in giving gifts that are experiences, rather than things. Don’t get me wrong – I give people stuff too. I’m very practical, and sometimes my nieces and nephews just need clothes because they’re growing like weeds! But I really like to give gifts that the receiver will enjoy multiple times, or …
My family has a long-standing tradition of celebrating Christmas in Chicago. It started when we were young and lived in the suburbs, and my parents would bring us into the city to see The Nutcracker every year. After we moved away from the Chicagoland area, my family took trips back to Chicago whenever we could. …
FC Cincinnati joined Major League Soccer (MLS) this year! Considering this team has only been in existence since 2016 (as a member of USL Championship), becoming the 24th team in MLS is pretty impressive! Technically, this is not an official stop on the stadium tour, nor does it count for checking a team off of …
Summer definitely arrived in Cincinnati! We had temperatures well above 90 all week, so I had the challenge of finding ways to beat the heat while my niece and nephew visited last week. They wanted to go to a water park, but they had gone while visiting one of their other aunts a few weeks …

Have you ever tried getting a teenager and tweenager away from the screens without …
Over Father’s Day weekend, I planned a surprise road trip for Hubby, the kiddo, and me. Our first stop was in Cumberland, Ohio to visit The Wilds. After spending the night in Cambridge, we drove to our our second stop on the trip – Legoland Discovery Center in Columbus. My house is full of Duplos, …
For Father’s Day, I planned a surprise weekend road trip for Hubby and the kiddo. I had been exploring weekend road trips and family-friendly activities for a while, and was excited to find The Wilds, a 10,000 acre wildlife conservation center located in Cumberland, Ohio. In partnership with the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium, The Wilds …
Miller Park may be my “home ballpark,” but Great American Ballpark is currently the closest Major League Baseball stadium, and probably the one I have been to the most after Miller Park. Like Miller Park, it’s also special to me for several reasons. Hubby and I went to a lot of baseball games when we …
Miller Park, Home of the Milwaukee Brewers, is my favorite ballpark in all of Major League Baseball for a few reasons. The primary reason is that it’s my “home” ballpark so I have an obvious bias. Though I live in Cincinnati now, Miller Park is the place I saw the most games played, attended countless …
