I am Mom to two beautiful, sassy little girls; Nora & Meredith. It was only after becoming a mother that I really started to appreciate how lucky we are to live in this Southwest Ohio, surrounded by amazing green space, culture, history, sports, and the arts. I love using all aspects of Cincinnati (Dayton and NKY too if I am being honest) as a playground for my kids and myself. I often drag my friends and family from the East side to the West side in search of another new and exciting adventure.

Shopping Kids Consignment
I really regret that I did not explore kid's consignment much earlier on in my parenting career. It wasn't until we bought our current house just a hop, skip and a jump away from...
The Worst Disease You’ve Never Heard Of
It is every parent's worst nightmare to find out that their child has a terminal or chronic debilitating illness. Seriously, what could be worse?

Kid Approved (EASY!) Meals
If you are like me, there are at least a couple nights each week where you stand in the middle of your kitchen staring blankly (at the fridge, the pantry, the walls) as you...
Facing the Mommy Guilt
