I write like it's my job - because it is! I have a Master's in English and love words: crossword puzzles, Scrabble games, Wordle, and, of course, good, old-fashioned books.
I'm a writer and editor at OnlyInYourState, and a contributing writer at Cincinnati Magazine. I love the Great Outdoors and am endlessly awestruck by this beautiful country of ours. Coffee keeps me going, yoga keeps me sane, my kids keep me grounded, and my writing keeps me inspired.

Wondering When do the leaves change color in Ohio? You’re in luck! Our friends at Smoky Mountains have released their annual Fall Foliage Prediction Map for the US; here’s when you can expect the leaves to change and “peak” fall foliage to happen in Ohio:
