The phrase lyme disease, and the word ‘tick’ can cause fear and trepidation among anyone within ear shot of a deer crossing sign.

Pictures to me are like bottling my kids’ special moments in a jar of memories. With kids growing up too quickly, I like to open the jar every now and then and it never fails to make me smile. Being the family photographer myself, the pictures I have in my collection are often without me. [...]

Summer is unofficially here in Ohio. Sidewalks are full of tomato plants and planted basil, hanging baskets are on sale for $8.97, and I’m ready for the abundance of fruits and vegetables that will find their way to my table! I love the farmers market- seeing sometimes bulging fruits and vegetables barely contained by their [...]
Sometimes, the little cubicle getaway rooms next to Grandpa’s Cheese Barn outside of Ashland Ohio just don’t cut it as a romantic weekend getaway. (You can see them right off of I-71).

The Muzak and décor at Target, Walmart, and Giant Eagle are lovely and wonderful, but they are not the hallmark shopping experience that you remember from season to season. One of the most memorable (and sometimes frigid!) Christmas memories you can make with your children is an outdoor shopping experience at Akron’s Lock 3 this [...]

Smucker’s Peanut Butter Recall 2011 Anyway, Smucker’s is voluntarily recalling their 16 ounce jar Natural Peanut Butter due to salmonella contamination. [...]
