I recently tried Mod Pizza for the first time. Have you been yet? MOD stands for “made – on – demand” and this pretty much sums up their concept. You walk in, select your crust, sauce, toppings and the pizza is made for you right there! This is especially awesome for families. Because kids =…

Exploring Columbus: Brunch at The Pearl
We found ourselves baby-free on a Sunday morning, so naturally, we thought about having a delicious Columbus brunch. And not just any brunch…but something special. Because, let’s be honest, as parents living in the suburbs, we usually frequent super low-key diners and nearby greasy spoons. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. In fact, if…
Instant Pot Chicken Paprikash – Hungarian Stew
Are you familiar with Chicken Paprikash? It’s a simple, delicious, creamy Hungarian-style dish. This time of year, I always find myself craving a warm stew. Something about pouring a ladle of deliciousness over some egg noodles or mashed potatoes just sounds….like the right thing to do. Are you with me? And when I saw some…
Sleeping with Strangers (Hong Kong Edition)
My eyes flickered as I scanned the profiles, carefully considering each one. I am generally picky and have high standards in all areas of my life, and this occasion was no different. Besides, as the saying goes, you never forget your first. I set very explicit filters in my search parameters because, after all, I…
Inspiration for 2018 – From Local Columbus Bloggers
I’ve always loved this time of year. While the holidays are always chaotic, crazy, and filled with family and friends, the end of the year is always a bit more reflective.

What Death Teaches About Life: AKA My 2018 Personal Project
As long as I can remember, I’ve had a complicated relationship with death. When I was a child, I lost my father to cancer. I remember hating those euphemisms for death. “I lost him to cancer.” Or “my father passed away.” He wasn’t lost. He didn’t somehow pass me by on a street and keep…
The Tragedy of Life: Thailand Edition
I cautiously peered through the glass window, and shuddered as I saw a pool of blood and dirty bandages littering the ground. As I looked up, I locked eyes with a small child. He was wearing rags, covered in filth, and stood next to a man who was wailing and bleeding. I took a deep…
Exploring Columbus: Tandoori Express
We were pretty excited to try the new Tandoori Express location that just opened up near Polaris, on Sancus Blvd. I am a big fan of the Tandoori Grill on Bethel, and couldn’t wait for the “Express” version closer to home. We’d been anxious for this location to open up, and as we were driving…
Exploring Columbus: Sweet Carrot
I’ve been dying to try Sweet Carrot ever since a friend mentioned them. We recently got to try it out for lunch and I’m SO HAPPY. The food was delicious, quick, and totally affordable. Or as I like to say, the trifecta! If you’re not familiar with the concept, let me give you a quick…

Besides spending time with family and friends, we have a wealth of activities to enjoy, food to sample, and places to explore right here. Recently, a group of my favorite “mompreneurs”…
