Last weekend, my friend, Megan and I decided to visit Moore Dessert Please! and were thrilled about their new cupcake sundaes.
First, you pick your cupcake. I went with their White Almond and Megan went for the Buckeye.
Next, you pick which flavor of Young’s ice cream you [...]
My mother was in the market for some cowboy boots but being city folk we didn’t know exactly where to go to find such a thing. Then we remembered something we always see while driving on the highway – Boot Country. It’s in Butler Township, minutes from her house, off of Miller [...]
I have had this place on my To Visit list for a while now and I’m so glad I finally got to try Awesome Yogurt in Kettering.
First of all, this place is just fun. I love the decor and seating areas.
The yogurt was, well, AWESOME! As [...]
My husband and I went to the soft opening of the Fifth Street Brewpub for his birthday because my mother gave him a membership there (if you’re looking for a great gift idea, this is it!).

To continue my anniversary weekend, my husband and I decided to visit the Dayton Flood Exhibit at the Dayton Art Institute and try Leo Bistro for the first time.
The exhibit was amazing and haunting – they did a great job of bringing the flood into perspective. I don’t remember [...]
Record Store Day was a ton of fun this year! My husband and I decided to enjoy some of the RSD festivities and I’m glad because there was so much going on this year. (See my article for Dayton Local at Record Store Day 2013 by clicking here.)
We got the chance [...]
When I was working in Centerville, I often passed Bagel Cafe and I loved stopping in for lox and egg on a bagel. It made the best lunch in the world and I would get their biggest coffee possible. The place needed some love though because it always looked in disrepair – cushions ripped, [...]
Welcome!
I love Dayton, I've lived here for all of my 26 years and don't plan on settling anywhere else.
