No matter my intentions, every weekend of our summer seems to naturally fill up with activities. This weekend was no different. We headed to the cottage in Marblehead, Ohio, to visit with friends and family after work on Friday, we went to Cedar Point on Saturday as part of Kent State University's alumni weekend, and …

A Whole New World: Scuba Diving
My husband has wanted to try scuba diving for a long time. It was never high on my bucket list, but I try to be open to new experiences and he has certainly demonstrated his willingness to accommodate me in my pursuit of some crazy personal and professional goals.

It's impossible to believe that just a couple of years ago we were sweating to death watching the St. Patty's Day parade in Cleveland. We had about 30 people between the ages of four and ninety-two eating, drinking …
