It has been a while since I’ve written a Meatless Monday post – and I don’t know why! I’ve had a few meatfree meals lately, but I haven’t taken the time to truly capture them and write down a recipe and then post them. So, today’s meatless post is a meal you can enjoy for … Continue reading Meatless Monday: Easy (and adaptable) Overnight Oats
Hello from HOT Cleveland. We had a super hot weekend, with temps in the 90s and “feels like” temps getting into the triple digits! That didn’t keep us from doing anything, however. We still had lots of fun! Friday night the four of us went out to dinner at Aladdin’s, a local Lebanese restaurant. As … Continue reading Heat Wave
Well, that weekend went way too fast. Know why? We were hardly in Cleveland at all – we spent 22 hours in Detroit! What does one do with 2 kids when they’re in Detroit for a day? Well, we spent most of the time with family. B’s brother lives downtown and his other brothers and … Continue reading 24 Hours In Detroit
I can’t say it enough – but I am so happy that it finally feels like spring is here in Cleveland! Could it possibly snow again? Yes, it’s happened before. But in the meantime, I’m so so ecstatic that we had a weekend where we could spend time outside and even sometimes without coats. This … Continue reading Finally Feels Like Springtime
We did it! We survived our week of COLD. Was it easy? No. Do I want to do it again anytime soon? No no no no no! But we survived, and here’s how. Living in the Midwest right now and growing up in the Northeast, I’m used to cold winters. I don’t like them, but … Continue reading Surviving the Polar Vortex
I’m still feeling the love from having a really great birthday week this past week. It was a week of good (and too much!) food, friends and even some runs. I felt the love from so many friends and family who reached out or whom I saw and made me feel special – thank you … Continue reading Celebrating My Birthday with Food and Running
Don’t get me wrong – I love our new house in the ‘burbs and all that our new little city has to offer – but I do miss our lives downtown. There was always something to do, always something going on, and it was great walking everywhere (especially to work). And even after we got … Continue reading Things to Do With a Kid Downtown
It was another great weekend in CLE, and it was nice to have a weekend to ourselves with no weddings or big events planned. Which meant we of course ended up packing in tons of fun activities into the two days. Friday night started with an impromptu birthday celebration for B’s brother. We went to … Continue reading Visiting the Farm (plus beer, running and more)
When it comes to desserts, B is a big fan of anything strawberry-rhubarb related, especially pies, crisps and cobblers. I, on the other hand, are more of a cookie fan – especially good chocolate and white chocolate chip cookies. Opposites attract? Perhaps (after all, as B says, I have more of a “sweet tooth” and … Continue reading Cherry, Strawberry and Rhubarb Crisp
A few weeks ago, B, FW and I took our third vacation as a family of three. (The first was a weekend in Columbus when FW was 2 months old, the second was a trip to Atlanta/Cincy/Asheville when FW was 8 months old) After our time in New York seeing my family and friends, we … Continue reading Visiting Annapolis with a Toddler
