Fort the Love of The Poppy Cottage

Spreading the Fort Love with an ongoing series about my favorites things to do and places to see and eat in good ol' Fort Wayne. 

It was a Wednesday morning. I was driving down State Street, heading home after a meeting at Georgetown Square. I've been down that road before, and Yum-Mee's Bakery is a favorite stop of mine when I'm in the area... but it had been a while.

So as I'm driving, I spot the cutest little storefront standing alone on the north side of the street.  I wasn't sure what it was, but I knew I had to pull over and check it out.

Fort the Love of American Food

Spreading the Fort Love with an ongoing series about my favorites things to do and places to eat in good ol' Fort Wayne.

Fort Wayne has some delicious restaurants... Italian, Mexican, Chinese... the list goes on. But traditional American food is not to be overshadowed. So I got to thinking about my favorite places in the Fort to grab some American grub!

Henry's Restaurant

First up is Henry's. One of Fort Wayne's hidden gems, Henry's features a large menu with all the staples... burgers, fish fry, salads, and more.

Fort the Love of Cycling

It's no secret that I'm a triathlete. I completed my first triathlon over 4 years ago, and have been hooked ever since.

Fort the Love of Italian Food

Spreading the Fort Love with an ongoing series about my favorites things to do and places to eat in good ol' Fort Wayne.

I am a self-proclaimed Italian food addict. I eat pasta for dinner an average of 4 times per week. Thus, discussing my favorite Italian restaurants in Fort Wayne not only got me excited... it got me hungry!

Ziano's

First up is Ziano's. They have three locations in town (Covington, Dupont, and Chapel Ridge), which are so perfectly spread out that there's amazing Italian food for everyone!

Fort the Love of Our Mothers

My husband and I have been living in Fort Wayne for just about 3 years, and I love it more and more all the time.

So I've decided to start this new blog series to spread a little bit of the Fort Love. Twice a month, I'll be posting about the town I live in... the town I love... the one and only Fort Wayne, Indiana.

Mother's Day is one of those holidays that tends to sneak up on me each May. The weather is getting warmer, and it's all about me and what I'm going to do each weekend.

So if you're anything like me, and need a little Mother's Day inspiration, check out my list of Mother's Day activities below. And remember... you're never too old to take Mom out for the day!

Mother's Day in the Garden

If your mom is into plants, flowers, and balmy temperatures, then the Botanical Conservatory is the perfect place to take her for Mother's Day. Visit their Butterflies of Malaysia exhibit, and pot your own special Mother's Day plant for her to take with her.
