Hello, Wednesday! Chelsea here.

You’ve made it halfway through the week and I think that deserves a treat. I happen to know just the thing. Around town, there are a few spectacular places to enjoy an Afternoon Tea service. I’m talking adorable teapot, a tower of finger sandwiches and pastries, scones, clotted cream, the whole nine yards. This is an especially awesome activity to keep handy when you wanna go out with the squad but don’t feel like meeting up at a bar. Come on, you know you want to channel your inner Jane Austen hero or heroine and enjoy some afternoon tea!

Summer camp has gotten so much cooler than when I was a kid. If there’s something your kid shows an interest in, there is most likely a camp for it here in Central Ohio. I’m honestly kind of jealous that there are not more of these options for grown-up summer camps. I would be so into a week away at camp!
