I’m still dealing with the issues from the last online coupon I tried to use from Toys R Us, but if you’re planning to go to Babies R Us this weekend anyhow, it couldn’t hurt to print these coupons and [...]

Toys ‘R’ Us Thomas the Train Coupon Issue

Earlier this week I posted here about some Thomas the Train Coupons that were online.    One was for a free train, the other was for 20% off any train set over $29.99.
Now, I understand that the first coupon, for the free train, was a mistake.  It was only supposed to be for 4 particular trains [...]

The Baby Borrowers

I don’t know if I’ve seen a commercial for The Baby Borrowers yet, but here’s the description from NBC’s website:
NBC’s upcoming reality series “The Baby Borrowers” is an intriguing new social experiment based on the hit British program that asks five diverse teenage couples — ages 18-20 — to fast-track to adulthood by setting up a home, getting [...]

There are a ton of festivals in and around Cleveland, Ohio throughout the [...]

Saturday Night in Cleveland

After much discussion the group of us finally decided on Flying Fig for dinner on Saturday night.     We met up with another couple who also happens to have a 2 year old daughter.    We were all very excited to be out on a weekend for some adult time. 
Everything we had to eat was delicious, my duck was crispy [...]

Lorelei

So, I apparently have this strangely unique but popular name.    I have been asked throughout my adulthood if I have been named after songs, movie characters and German folklore.     Just now, a woman from our company’s cleaning service just came up to me and asked if I was by chance part Romanian, because there is [...]

Loco Leprechaun in Westlake
Linden Tavern in Rocky River
India Garden in Lakewood
Ali Baba Restaurant on Lorain in Cleveland
Babushka’s Kitchen in Northfield – ok, this one the hubby may need to pick up, or it’s a stop-by [...]

This Weekend in Cleveland
