Isabella’s Reign as Princess Finally Begins

By

When my niece, Ashley, asked me if I would want to be with her during the delivery of her third child, I was like "Yes! I was going to ask you if I could come." Now don't think me weird, but since I have never given birth, I thought it would be cool to see this miracle happen. She asked me in the fourth or fifth month of what turned out to be a almost full term pregnancy. That meant for a good four months Ashley and I could have talked about what would be helpful for her in the delivery … [Read more...]

Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan Holds Up After 35 Years

By

You know it is going to be a good day when you get a call from your dad letting you know that there is a special showing of the greatest Star Trek movie of all time. Or maybe that's just me. Regardless, when I talked to my dad, Bud, on Wednesday, September 13, 2017 about the Wrath of Khan playing at Wooster's Cinemark Movies 10, it was a no brainer that I would be there.

I had thought I would be able to post while there, but honestly by the time I was back at the hotel I was too exhausted to put two syllables … [Read more...]

Bomba Tacos & Rum Brings Caribbean Flavors to Northeast Ohio

By

When my husband, Bobby, and I went to Fairlawn, Ohio a couple of weeks ago, we were trying to decide where to eat lunch. We ended up at The Melt Bar and Grilled, which you can read about here, but had tossed around the idea of going to Bomba Tacos & Rum. We had never been there, but it sounded interesting. So when my niece, Ashley, and I were in Fairlawn the next week, Bobby suggested we try Bomba's without him. While I rely on Bobby to get pictures, I agreed to do my best. After we … [Read more...]

Anniversary Adventure at Holden Arboretum

By

My husband, Shaun, and I recently celebrated our 22nd wedding anniversary. We wanted to find something to do together that day, that would be memorable. We decided to go to the Holden Arboretum in Kirtland, Ohio to check out the canopy walk and emergent tower. Since I can't explain it any better than their website:  "The Holden Arboretum is an outdoor living museum on 3,600 acres that promotes the beauty and importance of trees and other woody plants. The grounds feature over 20 miles of … [Read more...]
