Our Cleveland Staycation!
Happy Tuesday my blog reading friends! As I mentioned in yesterday’s post, we did our annual staycation to end winter break and I have to say it was a good one! Not only was I grateful for the things we have in our life, but I was beyond blown away at how BLESSED we are to live in such a beautiful city.
Cleveland, Ohio gets a bad wrap. Not sure why, but in the past decade at least, there have been incredible transformations to the Downtown area. I have a great pride and love for our hometown and if you chose to visit it, I think you would be shocked too.
I highly recommend making a trip to Cleveland, especially if you have kids, there are plenty of things to do!
Summertime is obviously one of the best times to visit, you have the Flats, which allows you to dine on the gorgeous riverfront. There is Lake Erie and the Lake Erie Islands, where you can spend time on the beach or near the water! There is Cedar Point, an incredible place for families, I’ve shared this before. There are world class museums, beautiful architecture, incredible history, the second best Theatre District outside of New York City AND I cannot fail to mention our awesome sports teams, ha! Basically, you should add it to your bucket list!
moreLife Lately – Winter Break Recap
Happy Thursday everyone! The kids are back off to school today and while the peace and quiet is nice, it’s so sad when they head back. We had a blast over break. It felt LONG, thinking back to their first day off, we spent so much fun time together and made many memories!
I figured I would kick off the new blogging year with a winter break recap! I LOVE blogging and always challenge myself to do better. Some way, some how, it always gets put on the back burner, whether I think the posts I share are pointless or I just physically don’t have the time or energy to write it out, I NEED to find a system that works for me here and I look forward to trying to achieve that in 2024!
With that being said, thank you so much for reading, supporting and sharing all your kind words on my blog over the past 5 and a half years! I am so blessed!

Happy Summer! Here’s our Summer Must-Haves
Happy first day of Summer! We’ve been enjoying our summer so far for sure! Yesterday I shared our routine and schedule, so today, I figured I would share a list of our summer must haves!
moreSharing our Summer Routine and Schedule
It’s the day before the first OFFICIAL day of summer and I am so excited to share some summer fun posts with you! A month ago, the kids and I sat down to chat about our new summer routine and what we wanted our summer to look like this year! I am the type of Mom that NEEDS a structured plan in order to get something accomplished. If I don’t have a game plan, we can fly through a day and look back and ask ourselves, what the heck did we even do today?!
In an effort to make summer fun and memorable (we get limited summer with these kiddos – especially these ages), we put together a summer schedule to encourage us to have the most amazing summer! I’m also sharing a very loose summer routine that I try to follow if I can! It helps give some form to our days and the structure is truly helpful for all of us!
