Happy Thursday! Chelsea here.

I can't be the only one who's waiting for the other shoe to drop when it comes to this incredible weather we've been having. I want to believe that the worst of the cold is behind us, but we all know how Ohio can be. On the off chance that we're in the clear, I think it's the perfect time to start planning some long weekend getaways. I can't always go too far from the city, but that doesn't mean there isn't beautiful nature all around to submerge myself in! Air out that tent and dig out those sleeping bags, folks. It's time to go camping! ⛺️

and now waits for Governor DeWine's signature. There are no exceptions for rape or incest, DeWine has said he'll sign it "no matter the final form", and the bill will make Ohio one of the strictest states in the country when it comes to abortion.
