Jenks Building in Cuyahoga Falls, OH
ou need to put this eclectic @jenksbuilding on your summer bucket list. I don’t even know where to begin. They have art, local goods, plants, books, antiques, vintage, creative space, live music, bread, wine, decor, outdoor space, farmer market and so much more to explore! So so neat. The best part of our visit today was when…

Momming and Chasing the Dreams
Below is the essay I wrote about myself for an article to be published in the Akron Beacon Journal. One of their editors will extract my words and write an article about me as the weekly feature chef at @nohipopup. I don’t know what it will looks like then. But since I poured my heart into…

The Natatorium in Cuyahoga Falls
No swim lesson tonight and it’s so gloomy out so we went to our old stomping ground, The Natatorium in Cuyahoga Falls, to play. We always go early afternoon and have not been there during open swim and the zero depth area is almost always empty. Today Ben and Kate practiced what they have learned…

Kent State Art Gallery
Don’t laugh if I say I dreamed of getting accepted into an Art program at Kent State in 1999 😉 But that didn’t happen (I never apply) and I took my time with my BA at UA. Yet Kent always has a special place in my heart. So when @trooplovelysomethings shared about @katiebutlerstudio MFA show…

Lakewood Park and Playground
🎈Lakewood park after errands. Swipe to see the amazing playground! One of Ben’s favorites but we don’t get to come often. So fun but one of the busiest with an epic treehouse-like climbing area. {It was way busier than pictured today – not sure how I got pics with no people in it! 😅 and @clewithkids confirmed…

Liberty Playground in Independence
We were on our way home from groceries in Cleveland and it was too nice not to take advantage of daddy’s day off to stop at Liberty Playground! I rate this one a 10 as it is perfect for these 4 and 6 years old. So much to do but it doesn’t feel overwhelmed –…

10 Dance Studios In and Around Akron
Question from yesterday’s post if this was Kate’s first ballet class and if there are any other dance studios I recommend. We started in 2019 with Buddy and Me class @martelldance1 where we have met many wonderful friends. Funny story, Kate barely dance in class but she nailed the recital and still asking to go on big…
