Here's how to survive holiday traveling in Ohio with your kids 🚗🚗

Happy Monday. It's Chelsea.

We're halfway through December, people! Can you believe it? The holidays are in full swing around here, but today is a very special holiday. I know you're wracking your brain right now, but you'll never guess so let me tell you. Today is Brad's birthday, our awesome Sales Director! If you see him out and about around Columbus, be sure to send a 'Happy Birthday' his way! Now onto the other big holiday that's coming up: Christmas. If you're anything like my husband and me, you'll spend at least a bit of it in the car. We're lucky because we don't have to pack up kids as well as ourselves, but we've got a few tips for all the parents out there to make your holiday travels as smooth as possible.

There's a new bagel shop in town, and it's honestly delicious AF. They're hoping to open up today, so we'll keep you posted. But just in case you can't make it over there, enjoy this sneak peek. The vibes in there are unreal and I sort of want to live there and just eat bagels from now until the end of time.

I know the Doo Dah Parade isn't everyone's thing, but I love it so much. And the only way I could possibly love it more is if this campaign succeeds and one of the greatest musicians of all time is the grand marshal!

Evictions sometimes are part of the business model...

Franklin County has the highest eviction rate in Ohio. This Alive cover story on local resident Stacy Dellibovi 's struggle with the eviction process has stuck with me all year.

Experiences > things...

614 Mom is here with a gift guide that prioritizes giving kids experiences instead of things. This goes a little deeper than the usual "COSI/Zoo memberships" suggestions (although those are great gifts too.)

Is this FBI report going to be a bombshell?...

We're now up to three Vice police who have been relieved of duty.

We think the holidays are best served with a side of nostalgia so obviously we are stocking up on these 

 zebra trees. They aren’t known to last long so hop to it! 🎄📸:
