Aspiring Photographer Captures Cincinnati Sights
The other night on the way home from the opening of Summerfair Cincinnati’s Emerging Artist Exhibition, SM asked if he could use my iPhone to take some pictures. I assumed he was inspired by the gallery show, and handed it over. Here are two of the images I found on my phone this morning. I [...]
Going For His Brown Belt
SM has been working really hard, and today he tested for his Brown Belt in karate. A proud mama, I thought I would share this video of him doing his Kata during the test. He is the one on the left side of the screen.
Date Night With Billy Elliot
Last night my husband and I had the chance to see Billy Elliot the Musical at the Aronoff Center downtown. Working in the arts, I have a slight obsession with theatre, and musical theatre in particular. I went into it not really knowing much about the show, other than it had received a Tony Award [...]
Randomness
I’ve been on a bit of a blogging hiatus due to the craziness of the holidays so I thought I’d give a quick update on some of the more exciting things we’ve been up to. First and foremost, I became an aunt! That’s right, my brother and his wife had a little boy earlier this [...]
Making Ornaments at Brazee Street Studios
Today the boys and I had the best time making glass ornaments at Brazee Street Studios in Oakley. Each Saturday they have open house hours where kids (and parents) can come in and make that months project. Cost was just $15 per ornament. This is definitely something that we’ll be adding to our “to do [...]
A Little Bit of Iowa… in Kentucky
If you didn’t know this about me, I grew up in a small town in Iowa. While we lived “in town,” farm life was a big part of my youth. While its been more than 20 years since my parents moved us to Kentucky, a big piece of my identity feels rooted in my time [...]
Under the Catholic School Influence
On my computer I have a sticky-note program that let’s me create digital post-it reminders and I can “stick” them on my desktop. Today when I sat down at my desk I found the following note, left by my 9yr old. Looks like he’s paying attention in Religion class! Give prayer to God every night [...]
Museum Center Adventures
Happy Wordless Wednesday. I was recently invited to contribute an itinerary for the Cincinnati Museum Center’s new website so I thought for today’s Wordless Wednesday post it only appropriate that I share some photos from our various visits there. For more Wordless Wednesday entries, visit Wordless Wednesday PS. Check out my itinerary– If Kids Ruled The [...]
I’ve “Weighted” Long Enough
Well, I did it. I FINALLY reached my weight loss goal and best part is, I did it by my goal- September 1- the day before we headed off to celebrate our 10 yr anniversary. I can’t believe I did it. I cannot tell you the last time I weighed 135, I know it was [...]
My 6 Year Old Hula Hooping Champion…
The Bman has been obsessed with hula hooping, ever since we attended the Junior League’s Kids in the Kitchen event last April. I can’t remember the name of the group, but they were teaching kids to hula hoop as a form of exercise, and they let him keep his hula hoop (You would have thought they [...]
Back to School Means Back to Packing Lunches
A few months ago my husband and I decided to make some pretty big changes to the types of foods our family was eating. We wanted to start eating healthier and transition processed foods out of our diets. As part of the process I took the time to meet with an amazing local health coach, [...]
Lights, Camera, Action!
It’s official. My oldest has got the theatre bug. This week he completed an acting summer camp at The Carnegie and man, he’s got the bug, BAD. For the camp they got to write their own plays (as a group) based on a theme which was Adventures of an Underdog, design their costumes and props, [...]
Getting Organized (Giveaway)
If there is one thing I secretly struggle with it’s staying organized when it comes to my personal life. While I am an early adopter and love technology and live by my Google Calendar, I am a traditional girl at heart and still find myself writing notes and tracking things the “old school” way –> [...]
