This one is extra special to me. 🤍☕️
I discovered the Special Grounds coffee truck today, and WOW—the pumpkin latte was absolutely delicious! 😂🧩🎃

But what makes it even better is their mission: supporting and creating opportunities for individuals with special needs. Watching them work and build independence truly touched my heart.

Great coffee + an incredible cause. 🤍

If you see the truck, STOP and grab a cup! ☕️Special Grounds Coffee Special Grounds CoffeeSara's Garden

Fresh tortillas, incredible birria, flavorful tacos, and salsas with just the right amount of heat
Carnales Taqueria
seriously impressed me. Simple spot, BIG flavor, and definitely worth a stop in North Toledo.

Okay Toledo… I think I found my new favorite bookstore. 🖤📚
The Glass Wheel is packed with horror, occult, mythology, UFOs, alternative history, sci-fi, used books, weird little treasures, and SO much more.

And then I found the horror section… 😂🖤

I left with a Goosebumps book, Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark, a stuffed crow, and a bat for my son. Because obviously. 🐦‍⬛🦇

If you love books, the unusual, or anything a little Gothic, you need to check this place out.

📍 1505 Adams Street, Toledo, Ohio

I’ll definitely be back. 🖤📚 The Glass Wheel

🍕 Stubborn Brothers Pizza has officially become one of our favorites! The pizza, twice-baked garlic rolls, and Italian ices were all so good. Plus, the back patio and family room with games and even a Ninja Turtle pinball machine made it such a fun stop with the kids. 🤍

Love supporting local, and I’m already looking forward to going back! 🍕✨

I was in the middle of working on my Bill's Hot Dog Stand video when Danny asked if he could do the voiceover.
So... I handed him the mic.
This was his very first voiceover, he had no script, and he completely made it up as he went. I couldn't stop laughing.
My version is coming soon, but for now... enjoy Danny's!

Okay, I finally tried one of those viral Dot Cakes everyone has been posting about, and Bakery Unlimited in Toledo has them! 🍰✨

I picked the carrot cake flavor, and it was absolutely delicious. If you’re a sweet-treat person like me, definitely stop by and grab one… or two. 🤍🥕 Bakery Unlimited Toledo and Sylvania
