Hi! My name is Lisa, I’m 36 years old, and I may be having my first midlife crisis.
I’ve done and seen so many things in my life already. I was in the US Navy for 4 years and have visited some beautiful parts of the world. I’ve held down an array of jobs, and have had many unique experiences. I went to dog grooming school last summer and became a dog groomer, and yet… I’m restless.

I’m a huge foodie, so you’ll see a lot of restaurant reviews as well as special events and small businesses that you will only find in Toledo, OH.
I’ll also bring you along on my days as a dog groomer because, well, everyone loves dogs.
While on my journey to discover new things in my city, maybe it will inspire you to find the gems hidden within your own.
The more we learn about our hometowns, we maybe, just maybe, will find that adventure lies in what we choose to seek out and perhaps will learn more about ourselves in the process.
Some of the best parts of summer are the long warm nights with beautiful starry skies, the summer blockbusters, and
