I write like it's my job - because it is! I have a Master's in English and love words: crossword puzzles, Scrabble games, Wordle, and, of course, good, old-fashioned books.
I'm a writer and editor at OnlyInYourState, and a contributing writer at Cincinnati Magazine. I love the Great Outdoors and am endlessly awestruck by this beautiful country of ours. Coffee keeps me going, yoga keeps me sane, my kids keep me grounded, and my writing keeps me inspired.
There are near-endless options when it comes to enjoying a day on the water here in Kentucky. The Bluegrass State boasts 45 major lakes and reservoirs, and has more navigable miles of water than any other state except Alaska. But when you’re looking for a swimming experience with crystal-clear waters that aredownright tropical, there’s one Kentucky lake that dazzles above the rest. Laurel River Lake is well-known as having some of the clearest water in the state, and the lake’s Spillway Beach is the perfect place to cool off and enjoy an authentic beach day this summer in Kentucky.
