Can you believe it: the end of the school year is upon us! Throw in graduation season, Memorial Day Weekend and all those early signs of summer, it’s no wonder that May marks a time for reflection and also for looking ahead.
It’s been a wild year to watch Brenna grow right before my eyes. When her daycare reopened in July, I would have never imagined she would become the little girl she is at four-and-a-half years old today: smart as a whip and running the show day in and day out! Just imagine what the age of five will bring!!
May is also a time to think about saving for the future and ..read more

This weekend, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Bryan and Joe (for OG Clevelanders, not THAT Brian and Joe of morning radio fame), of The Guiltless Podcast to chat about my life these days. The convo took a bunch of twists and turns topic-wise (don’t get them started on pickles), but still solid in the end. Check out the recording at Apple Podcasts or via Spotify at the embed below!

Well, fellow parents: we’ve officially made it to Fall which means we’re well into the swing of “back to school” routines, daily going-ons and other related shenanigans. For our family, we got a bit of a jump start thanks to Brenna’s daycare re-opening in mid-July. With ALLLLLLLL the precautions in place to ensure a safe experience for students and teachers alike, we’ve all been happier with her back at one of her favorite places.
So now that we’re in some sort of “new normal” (#thanks2020), we can finally focus on some of that “old normal” – which means properly prepping for our child’s futu ..read more

At The Lot by Platform Beer Co.
Believe it or not, this extrovert / social butterfly has been someone hesitant in returning back in public. In the reopening of restaurants and bars in May, I set some rules for myself: masks and social distancing mandatory, and I would only eat on patios / outside. So I started exploring again and here are some of my favorites of the past few months:
THE LOT BY PLATFORM BEER CO. in Ohio City
As Platform Beer Co.‘s resident yoga teacher, it won’t come as a surprise that the places I have frequented most in the past few months since reopening have been part of my ..read more

In the past couple of months, I’ve had the chance to write more than anytime I can recently remember. One of those pieces was for a local publication – Cleveland Magazine.
The Rating the Suburbs issue of the magazine is always an exciting one – after all, who doesn’t love a good ranking and bragging rights? With the annual listing of towns around Northeast Ohio, the editors invited five locals to share personal essays about what their cities, neighborhoods and homes mean to them. And here’s the kicker: I was one of them!
If you followed my Instagram Stories pre-pandemic, it was no secret that ..read more

It’s been a unique time for our family these past few months, mostly because it’s the most time my daughter, Brenna, and I have gotten to spend together on a regular basis. With her daycare closed, I’ve become drastically aware at how important her education is – both now (in the absence of her amazing daycare teachers!) and in the future. So naturally, I’ve thought about how we can continue to support it and one of those ways is via Ohio’s 529.
Ohio’s 529 is a college savings program designed to help individuals and families save for college in a tax-advantaged way. Our f ..read more
