Whatcha Might Not Know…East vs. West…Yes, it Matters!

  Growing up in and around Cincinnati, there was something I learned early on…you were either from the West Side or the East Side.  Back in January, I even made mention of getting my passport out to go across town to visit relatives in my restaurant scissors post.

Image Source Yep, I was one of them.  An RA in college.  For two years.  And I’ve got to say…it’s awesome to be the one in charge.  People made fun of me, but all I have to say is those that make the rules…often break the rules!  HA!  Definitely some of the best years of

Whatcha Might Not Know…Vacation Spots

If you haven’t figured it out yet, Andy and I LOVE to travel.  We have been blessed to have had many opportunities to go many places – both nearby and far, far away.  In and out of the country.  When we lived in Nashville for 2 years, we were sure to squeeze in long weekends

Whatcha Might Not Know…Cycling

This summer I am teaching my 4-year-old how to ride a bike.  I, however, have not been an active cyclist in many years.  Some of you know that Andy and I have road bikes and he still rides when he can (usually on the weekends).  But my poor bike is collecting dust in the basement.

So here in Cincinnati, we love our ice cream.  And we have LOTS of local choices, regional choices, and even “regular” grocery store choices.  The hubby LOVES ice cream.  And although we ate it as a child, I would generally rather have a cookie or a brownie growing up.  Until I got married.  Then his love

  Image Source Most of you know that I’ve lived in both Nashville and Birmingham.  Down in the south.  And some of you make fun of me for my constant use of “y’all”.  But here is why it’s completely ingrained into my vocabulary.  When we moved to Birmingham, I became a Corporate Trainer for a

Whatcha Might Not Know…The Truth

Last week I did a post with 9 Truths and a Lie.  Go back, read it first.  For real.  Or this won’t be funny make sense.  Drumroll, please. I did go to Disney with my entire family thanks to the generosity of my grandparents.  However, due to that generosity, I did not put up a fight

Whatcha Might Not Know…9 Truths and A Lie

I returned from the dead a stomach bug this afternoon and headed to a work meeting about 30 minutes from my house trying to decide what to post today.  And then Bonnie Tyler’s “Total Eclipse of the Heart” came on the radio.  What station was I listening to??  Yikes.  Anyway, it was a sign that

Whatcha Might Not Know…Why I Lather in Sunblock

Image Source I was stupid as a teen and into my twenties. I thought being tan was cool. Then I accepted the fact that I am fair-skinned. And basically I just burn. Any “color” I get is a just a shade of red. Fast forward a bit but remain still in the past. My uncle

Whatcha Might Not Know…French Polynesia

So for the past few Wednesdays I’ve written about the proposal, the pre-party and the wedding day.  Now, let’s talk honeymoon.  The honest truth is since we had a much smaller wedding (18 people…in attendance!) Andy and I spent the money we had saved for the large wedding we didn’t have on the honeymoon.  We
