Kristin Latchaw
I am a born and raised Cincinnatian, and I love this city and everything it has to offer. I'm married to my wonderful husband, Joe, and our daughter is a spunky, opinionated toddler named Rozlyn. I was raised a West Sider, but moved northeast shortly before marriage. My husband teases that West Side roots run deep, and I cannot go anywhere without seeing someone I know! I love exploring the city with my little family. Some of the most fun we have had together is when we just get up and see where the day takes us. I am embracing my current role as a SAHM and constantly learning as I go!

I Don’t Need Wine to Be A Better Mom
How many times have you heard your mom friends say, "Today is a two-bottles-of-wine kind of day." Or in the middle of a busy, chaotic playdate exasperatedly announce, "Who brought the wine? I'm losing...

Oh, sweet store,
