Cleve’s local paper, the Plain Dealer formally announced all their staff cuts yesterday. The list of those that were “selected” to leave and those that chose to take the buy-out was released and I know I was shocked. Many reporters that I have followed, pitched, read, admired, etc. chose to…

Onto the pre-existing dinner plans that made me leave Cleveland SMC early. The boy and I were celebrating 4 years of dating (read: wow I’m getting old) and decided to go somewhere new and low-key. We keep hearing all this great stuff about the Detroit Shoreway area, and living on…

Hello,

I’m Melissa

Welcome to I Crashed The Web — proof that I’ve been oversharing online since the early days of blogging. It started as a blog (back when that was cool), morphed into a mom blog (when that was cool), and now it’s my happy place for all the things I love: running, baking, reading, traveling and life with my family of five.
