City: Five Minute Friday

Today I am joining the positive writing community over at Five Minute Friday for their weekly link-up. Each week we gather to write on a common theme. This week our theme is City. Thanks to Covid the city has lost its appeal. I miss the days of hopping in the car and seeing what we could getContinue reading “City: Five Minute Friday”

Kitties: Columbus Coffee Experience

If you are looking for the perfect gift for the coffee lover in your life [who already has far more than enough mugs to justify another] then please take gifting advice from my secret pal. This holiday season I received macaroons, a gift card to a French bakery, and a stamp book for the ColumbusContinue reading “Kitties: Columbus Coffee Experience”

Coffee Fest and Rob Bell

    Date nights don’t happen nearly as often as they should. At this point in our lives we have two girls (one of which is an infant) and they keep us busy. Balancing work and family seems like a farfetched myth. But every so often the stars align and we are able to getContinue reading “Coffee Fest and Rob Bell”

Our First Geocache Adventure

Geocache- the act of using GPS services to locate a hidden package or item. Over Spring break my husband and I found ourselves with some alone time. This isn’t something that happens often so we decided to make the most of it. Sure, we could have done the usual date night and gone to aContinue reading “Our First Geocache Adventure”

“Another Opening, Another Show…”

The Pumpkin Show is an annual festival held in my hometown of Circleville, Ohio. This is the greatest FREE show on Earth and one of the largest local festivals in the country. Each year, the schools shut down, the roads are closed, and people travel from near and far to enjoy some days indulging inContinue reading ““Another Opening, Another Show…””

German Village

Over night the weather went from sunny summertime to cool autumn. Every part of me was itching to get outdoors from the moment the rays of sun poked through the curtains. I poured myself a hot cup of coffee and browsed through events going on in Columbus. After a few minutes of deliberation we decidedContinue reading “German Village”

The New Columbus Library

It’s been a long time coming, but the wait is finally over! Over a year ago the Columbus Metropolitan Library Main Branch shut its doors to begin the remodeling process. Already it was the most beautiful library I had ever visited and I couldn’t imagine what type of work would go into this new constructionContinue reading “The New Columbus Library”

Anniversary Bliss

The first week of June is always full of such bliss in our household. On June 4, my husband and I celebrate our wedding anniversary. June 6 is my mother’s birthday which we always commemorate with a mother-daughter lunch. And my birthday is today, June 7. (I’m 26!!!) We are busy packing and preparing forContinue reading “Anniversary Bliss”

Race Day Snapshots

This weekend I finished the Patron Quarter Marathon in Columbus. My official time was 1:08:57. I ran the race with my friend, Leah. We ran eleven minute miles fairly consistently until mile 5 and then we left all we had on that course and finished strong. In the last mile I passed 97 people!!!! This wasContinue reading “Race Day Snapshots”
