Here are some wonderful signs that spring has indeed arrived in East Dayton. These are compiled from walks around my neighborhood.
It seems like every time there is good weather, it’s a work day and there’s no way to enjoy it except for maybe visiting a park on your lunch break. So it was a wonderful surprise to have one last nice weekend with temperatures in the 60s and 70s, like early autumn’s last [...]
(In this post, I’m literally talking about being someone who walks at night sometimes. For information on the band Nightwalker, click here.)
My husband and I don’t get to spend a ton of time together with our very different schedules, so we have to make the most of the time we have. [...]
I’m just going to let these gorgeous images of RiverScape MetroPark speak for themselves. I’m so lucky to live in such a pretty city!

My husband will tell you that one of my more annoying qualities is that I stop frequently on walks to take pictures of flowers, animals, signs, buildings, etc. The way I see it, it’s easier to go on walks and stay active at all if there are beautiful things to document the whole time. Here [...]
I know this could easily be a sign of end times but I’m so digging this very unseasonably warm weather. I feel like I can’t waste another second cooped up inside so here’s everything you need to know about springtime in East Dayton:

Welcome!
I love Dayton, I've lived here for all of my 26 years and don't plan on settling anywhere else. I started this blog as a way to showcase the best of Dayton (as seen through my perspective) and also to share some of the things that occupy space in my mind, namely beauty, home decor, quotes, and various aspects of my life.
