Help us support Mid-Ohio Food Collective this holiday season!
While many of us gather around tables filled with food and laughter, thousands of families in our community are going without. Together, we can change that. Support the Holiday Meals Campaign and help provide comfort, nourishment, and hope to families in need. For every $1 donated, Mid-Ohio Food Collective can provide up to 2.5 meals. If you’d like to donate, please click here. Every single dollar matters!

Hello, Tuesday! Chelsea here.

I’m a big fan of quiet weekend getaways, especially when they have interesting views. The Lost Cavern is located in Hocking Hills, and it’s got one heck of a distinguishing feature. Perched above an impressive 50-foot cavern, this modern cabin is one of those places where it’s very easy to imagine getting cozy with a good book and hunkering down on a snowy, relaxing stay.

🎿 Ohio’s Largest Ski Resort Is Back! Mad River Mountain Opens This Friday
We’ve had a pretty cold and snowy December, which is great news for Mad River Mountain! They’ve had some tough starts to the seasons for the past few years due to warmer weather, but they’re opening this weekend with tons of snow and fully ready to take advantage of these chilly temps.

😍 Historic Columbus: The Westin Great Southern Hotel
In Columbus, it’s very easy to get lost in all of the incredible buildings we’ve torn down and replaced with parking lots. But every now and then, you have to stop and give a round of applause for our historic buildings that have managed to perservere. And one of my favorites is an iconic hotel on South High Street.
