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's treehouses, and then there's the Looking Glass Treehouse at Red River Gorge. And trust us when we say that you've never seen treehouse quite like this before.
One of the well-appointed rentals offered through Red River Roost, Looking Glass Treehouse is a pair of mirrored treehouse cabins in the heart of Kentucky's most breathtakingly beautiful region.
This dual treehouse is perched atop tulip poplar and pignut hickory trees in the lush woodlands of Daniel Boone National Forest. The façade of mirrors reflects the surrounding forest back to you, creating a shimmering atmosphere of strong trunks and vibrant leaves.
A nod to "Alice in Wonderland," the Looking Glass Treehouse will make you feel simultaneously big and small, in awe of the wide, wonderful world. Large panoramic windows invite the outdoors in, while whimsical steps and landings make for quiet places for reflection and relaxing in the treetops.
This cozy, octagonal bedroom is a place to lounge or sleep, and with giant floor pillows, two full sized beds, and a fold-out sofa, there are lots of places to get comfy!
