As we all do at one point or another, I found myself staring at the ceiling of a 1997 Eureka tent constructed in the middle of my dining room, wondering whether I was going to die.

It was March 2020, and the entire world had abruptly paused earlier that afternoon, sending us home to what felt like a snow day with a possibility of death, rather than snowball fights, ahead of us.

As it turns out, I am not the type of mother I thought I would be. To be clear, I’m not 100% positive what type of parent I thought I would be, but I can assure you I did not anticipate being the type of mother who hides in her bathroom, scrolling through her phone, trying to gain a few minutes free from the wardens pacing at the door.

Need weekend plans? Look no further. It’s going to be a strawberry-jam packed weekend in Kokomo, check out some of the local events happening around our city!

A local church known for peddling hope filled up cars with something else this week. Fuel Church teamed up with the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Farmers to Families Food Box Program and distributed more than 35,000 pounds of food to local residents Thursday.

May 28 marks National Hamburger Day, a celebration of the quintessential American food. This ultimately means as a Kokomo resident, I felt it was my duty to shed light on the town’s favorite burger joints.

When I was in my 20s, I was a writer. Like a real writer, not just a writer of shopping lists and birthday cards. For eight years, I wrote a column for the local paper where I overshared about first dates and drunken kisses and being a fish out of water, a New York transplant learning how to do life in her 20s in the Midwest.
