Motorcycle Diary: Local Trip to Chagrin Falls

Is there anything more amazing than looking across the couch at your significant other on a beautiful, cool Sunday morning--coffee and book in hand, cat rolling around on the floor--and realizing you have nothing to do that day? Bliss. Of course, I can only handle that feeling for a little while and then I feel compelled to …

Local Adventures: Pittsburgh, Pa.

Our second local adventure took us to Pittsburgh, Pa., for a day-trip this weekend. I sent out requests for things to do and see, places to eat, etc. ahead of time and was excited at the response I received. It seems a lot of people have a lot love for Pittsburgh! We had too many …

Local Adventures: Cleveland’s East Side

The other night when we were at the lake, a friend was telling us about all these places I've never heard of in Cleveland. This really surprised me as I've lived in Northeast Ohio for almost 10 years and have lived all over Cleveland--the east, west and south. Also I have friends who like to …

Cleveland International Film Festival

My friend got me to attend the Cleveland International Film Festival a couple years ago, and I've been hooked ever since! The first year we went, it took a little getting used to. We didn't know where to go, we didn't understand how the vouchers/passes/tickets worked, we didn't figure out how to line up for …

St. Patty’s Day in Northeast Ohio

We had the most outrageously beautiful weather in Northeast Ohio this weekend, which was perfect for our St. Patty's Day/weekend events! The fiance was in Delaware all week for work, so I was non-stop running errands, prepping the house, outlining food plans and cleaning. I was exhausted driving home from work Friday afternoon, but it …
