Hello Thursday! Chelsea here.

It’s almost the weekend, which is always worth celebrating. But it’s an even more exciting weekend because one of the best festivals in Central Ohio is going on right now, and I cannot wait to head out and explore. The Circleville Pumpkin Show is one of the very best ways to embrace fall. There are tasty treats, some seriously impressive pumpkins, live music, vendors, and so much more. Here’s everything you need to know about the show.

Dunlap Hollow Is The Cozy Hocking Hills Hideaway You’ve Been Dreaming Of 🏡
I’m such a sucker for a cozy Hocking Hills cabin, and no one does cozy quite like Dunlap Hollow. This particular cabin on the property was originally built in the 1920s but it’s been beautifully renovated and it’s one of my favorite places I’ve ever had the pleasure of staying down in Hockin Hills.
