Last night, our family was lucky enough to be invited to a special pre-grand opening celebration at Star Lanes Polaris, a fabulous new "boutique" bowling alley/restaurant that sits just in front of the Polaris Fashion Place mall. It is a fantastic new offering for central Ohio families or couples looking for a fun night out! Several years ago, while visiting my fam in LA, we went to the Lucky Strike bowling alley/ restaurant in Torrance and had our minds blown. The atmosphere was way more … [Read more...]

Fantasy of Lights 2012

Thanksgiving's over for another year... time to talk about Christmas! I loved Christmas before becoming a mom, but now it's off the chain how Christmas-crazy I am.

Franklin Park Conservatory 2012

You know how so many places for kids can be loud, overwhelming and exhausting - overrun with other people's screaming, grubby monsters? (Not your kids or Zoe. Ours are perfect angels.) Think Chuck E. Cheese. Or even COSI for example - I love the place and Zoe does too, and it's the number one kids science center in the country for a reason, but I can only handle it in small doses. I find myself very depleted and in need of a nap after spending more than a couple of hours there. (Fortunately, … [Read more...]

Three little cupcakes

Before beginning my very own mom blog here, I wrote about family fun on my client’s blog, Discovering Ohio. It’s a great resource for anyone who lives, works or plays in the great state of Ohio, as it’s full of fun things to do, visit and see year-round. Here are my posts from  Discovering Ohio this past year:  November Family Fun at the Zoo - If you only visit the zoo during summer months, you’re in for a treat. Here’s my rundown on why November is one of the best months to do … [Read more...]
