The New AMC Theatre | Easton | 614 Mom
My husband and I were recently invited to check out the newly renovated AMC Theaters at Easton and to say we were impressed would be an understatement. To give you an idea of our experience, I should first tell you that my husband loves going to the movie theater, he would happily go weekly, while I would rather wait until it comes out on Netflix. It has nothing to do with the theater - it's a very traditional "It's not you, it's me" kind of thing. I like to get comfy during a movie, eat a ton of snacks, and relax...you can say I'm a comfort snob. I've never had that experience at the theater, until recently.
The Perfect Day Date | Adventure Park | ZipZone
I really enjoying getting out of my comfort zone and trying new things, exploring in new ways, and challenging myself. This weekend we did all of those things and more at the new ZipZone Adventure Park right here in Columbus.
It wasn't what I expected at all, I thought we would just fly through it, I mean we love ziplining so this should be easy, right? Not quite. [Read More]
Saturdays are for Baseball
One day we woke up and our baby boy was a T-Ball playing little boy with his adorable baseball pants and green baseball glove. Our Saturday mornings went from cartoons and snuggles to cheering him on from the sidelines as he smiles at us, always so proud of himself. He plays in the dirt a lot and has to be reminded to pay attention and get "baseball ready", he drops his glove as he eagerly runs towards the ball in hopes of being the first one to it, and he runs to give me kisses in the middle of his game but he is so happy when he's playing and learning. He melts me, every single day.
614 Moms Pool Party | Goldfish Swim School | 614 Mom
It really warmed my heart seeing so many families having so much fun together, meeting new families, making friends, and the kids embracing each other as if they'd known each other for years.
The SNAP Food Challenge | Part Two | 614 Mom
What can we do to help? The purpose of taking the challenge for me was to provide better and more empathetic care to my patients. The reason I am blogging about it is try help others understand the plight of food insecurity. Once we understand, we then have the knowledge and empathy to fight for these marginalized persons. In the current political climate where funding for our public safety nets are being cut, we must remind our elected officials on the importance of mitigating food insecurity with SNAP.
The SNAP Food Challenge | Part One | 614 Mom
As a pediatrician, I see children at our clinic that are truly starving. It breaks my heart, when asking a child during their wellness check about what they ate for breakfast and they say nothing. I then ask if they are hungry now, and they shake their head yes. Handing them a small bag of goldfish brings about a smile that tugs on your heart strings. Discussing with parents about food security, I find many depend on food stamps or WIC. But these parents say it is often not enough.
Dear Monday | July | 614 Mom
Dear Monday,
It's crazy how fast the weeks have been flying by. It seems like every Monday, I'm reminded that soon school will start and while I'm excited to see my two oldest kiddos off making new friends and enjoying school, I'm sad because time is just moving so fast.
COSI | Little Kidspace® | 614 Mom
I have a list of what I like to call "The Columbus Staples", on that list are the spots in Columbus that you can count on everyday. You are always guaranteed a good time and Columbus wouldn't be the same without them. On that list is one of our favorite places ever - COSI. My kids are obsessed with COSI, they would happily go every single day if our schedule allowed. From the little kidspace® to the Planetarium and everything in between, my kids are always happy when we're there.
Dear Monday
Monday, I love you! You are a fresh start, a clean slate, and you bring so much happiness and potential.

I spend my Monday mornings, preparing for a successful week ahead and today and every week I'm sharing the seven pieces to a successful week.
