With last night’s time change, this morning we were treated to a gorgeous sunrise…

Good morning from Northside. 😀🌄❤️

Walking the dogs this evening, we saw three deer on the hill at the end of our street…

I know we live right on the edge of a rather sizable nature preserve in Northside but we don’t live out in the ‘burbs. We’re also in a very urban area. And we live just six miles from downtown. So I think it was really pretty neat that we got to see these deer just up our street. 😀🦌❤️

This evening we stopped into a new bar that just opened on Thursday in Northside called Mixwell’s. Actually, they’ve been open for a while but just recently moved from Hamilton Avenue by Northside Tavern down to the old Barrio space next to the arcade and across the street from Second Place/Littlefield…

Mixwell’s is actually more of a discotheque than just bar. I hope they figure out a way to utilize the incredible back patio space…


It’s kind of crazy to have a dance club in Northside. There aren’t very many dance clubs left in Cincinnati that I can think of off the top of my head. It’s not really our scene exactly. But I could see us stopping in for a drink every now and then. 😀🕺❤️

When we were in Jamaica, we would see this sand sculpture that said, “The Embassy is open.” We saw it for the first few days we were at the resort…

We were walking around Northside and we walked past this little table set up on the sidewalk. The first thing that popped in my head was The Embassy is open…

You never know what you’ll see walking around Northside. 😀❤️

When we were out walking the dogs this morning, we saw that the stop sign at the end of our street had a precarious lean to it like someone tried to push it over…

I put in a service request to have it repaired on the FixItCincy app. So hopefully, it’ll get fixed soon. When we got to the top of the hill at the end of our street, there was a pop-up pumpkin patch in front of the Montessori school…

and of course, Mack had to sniff each and every pumpkin…

😀🎃🐾❤️

We usually try to stop somewhere on our way home from work on Thursday evenings for a happy hour drink or a bit to eat since Genifer doesn’t have to work on Fridays. More often than not that place is Higher Gravity. They almost always have something fun happening on Thursday and tonight was no exception. Tonight, they tapped a keg of Banana Coconut Dragons Milk Reserve from New Holland Brewing…

It was a pretty incredible beer. So much banana and coconut but not too much. It was just the perfect amount of banana and coconut that paired really well with rich dark chocolate. It was so dang good. Before we headed home, we had a couple of slices of pizza from Chameleon…

They have some really great slices. It was another pretty great Thursday night. And we were home and had the dogs walked before the Thursday night football game came on. That’s a good start to the almost weekend. 😀🍺🍕❤️

Birchbox is so fun. Every month you get a new box of beauty/grooming samples to try. There’s really no way we would hear about most of these products, let alone get to try them without Birchbox. It’s fun. Here’s what was inside our Birchboxes for October…

Genifer gets her box a lot earlier in the month than I do…

She got Air Repair hydrating serum, Marcelle BB Golden Glow, Malin+Goetz face moisturizer, and Juliette has a gun perfume. My Birchbox comes closer to the end of the month…


In my box, there was Him’s Sleep Gummies, Duke Cannon Thick Hair Shampoo, Ursa Major Essential Face Tonic, Hanz de Fuko Claymation, and Aether Aetheroxyde Eau de Parfum.
My favorites this time were the Hanz de Fuko hair clay, Ursa Major face tonic and the Hims Sleep gummies. It was a really good box this time for me. But getting Birchbox is always really fun. 😀🎁❤️

Last year, the weather was beautiful for trick-or-treating. This year, it was cold and raining for trick-or-treating tonight in Cincinnati. So instead of sitting on our front porch and handing out candy, we went to Taft’s Brewpourium. They were doing a promotion with their delicious Gourd to Death brown ale…


And we shared some pizza and garlic knots…

We watched our third-floor OscarCam while ate pizza…

There were a surprising number of kids out treat-or-treating even with it being cold and rainy. When we got home, we took the dogs out for a walk. It was surprisingly quiet around the neighborhood…

And there were some good jack-o-lanterns on our street…


We hope everyone had a safe and fun trick-or-treating. We really enjoyed our Halloween. Maybe we’ll hand out candy next year if the weather is better. 😀🎃🍕❤️

The sunrises have been starting to come later and later in the morning and we’ve been leaving for work before the beautiful sunrises we’ve been seeing for the last few weeks actually start to break above the houses…


But the sunrise was gorgeous once I got downtown…

Good morning from Northside and downtown Cincinnati. 😀🌄❤️
