I don’t have little girls in my house but my three boys are like me; they love to shop!  Thankfully for my wallet, we have a store nearby called Five Below.

Five Below is a gem of a store that offers toys, accessories, party supplies and so much more all for $5 or less. Yep, everything, everyday, is just $5 and below! Got to love the catchy name! When my boys have birthday money to spend or a little extra pocket money, they always ask to go to Five Below.

Five Below is a great place for preteens and teens who like to shop for the latest cool stuff that kids really want. They have clothes, items to decorate their room, sporting gear, arts and crafts party supplies, candy and toys. It’s a treasure trove just waiting to be explored. Five Below is definitely my “yes” store because while the prices are low the quality is high.

A couple of weeks ago my two oldest boys and I went on a little shopping trip to Five Below. They were super excited when we hopped into the car and I told them where we were going. As soon as we walked into the store they ran right to the Beanie Boos. My boys don’t agree on much but their love of Beanie Boos. They couldn’t decide which ones to get so they both bought two. How can you say no for only $5 each? Deal!

From here they split up. My middle son, Mason had a ball looking in the large Star Wars section which was filled with everything from bags and puzzles to characters and school supplies. I was jotting down notes so I could come back and pick things up for stocking stuffers. Before he left this area he picked up a Angry Birds Star Wars game and a few other fun treasures.

My oldest Noah, was elated to find the Skylanders section at Five Below. Even though we’ve been collecting these figurines for only 4 years he still managed to find quite a few that he didn’t have yet. In this section they also have Leap Frog Explorer cartridges, earphones, phone case, ear buds and much more which is perfect for that pre-teen, teen crowd.

The arts and craft section at Five Below is great for my little Mason. He’s the crafty one in our family and is always looking for new supplies for his newest creation. From paints to crayons, clay and markers, Five Below has you covered.

Another area we spent quite awhile in was the game area. As a family we try to shut off the electronics and do family game night from time to time. We spotted a whole back wall of games at our Five Below store. I’m definitely going to go back to pick up a few for Christmas gifts.

While my youngest wasn’t with us, we certainly didn’t forget about him. We picked up a few goodies for him too including a Beanie Boo (of course) and some Hex Bugs. These little “critters” are one of his favorite toys.

With the holidays approaching, make sure to visit Five Below in your area. From stocking stuffers to full out presents, Five Below will keep you shopping without our busting your budget. Keep in mind also that Five Below has great items for those adults on your list too!

The food was AMAZING! I’m still dreaming about it! The food was AMAZING! I’m still dreaming about it! 🤤 What a steal too!  If you’re looking for the perfect date night, this is it 💕
The @interconcle is celebrating their 80th anniversary and for just $80 per couple, you can enjoy a full multi-course tasting menu every Friday, Saturday & Sunday evening. 🙌  My husband and I spent the evening at @tbl45 inside the InterContinental Hotel Cleveland… and it did NOT disappoint.  We each ordered different items so we could sample everything (highly recommend doing this 👏). We tried both the salmon tostadas and the elote corn ribs, both were delicious, but that corn?! WOW. The grilled corn ribs are topped with cotija cheese, chipotle aioli, tajín, and cilantro… and you can taste every single flavor. Seriously… drool-worthy!  For entrées, my husband had the skirt steak, tender, juicy, and cooked perfectly. I stole a few bites and it was melt-in-your-mouth good. I ordered the arroz con pollo and the grilled chicken thighs were so flavorful and juicy.  And dessert? We both loved it! I still can’t believe this also includes two perfectly crafted cocktails (you can choose from two options!).  Two drinks, two appetizers, two entrées, and two desserts… for $80 total 🤯 YES PLEASE.  Right now it’s a Latin American menu, and the themes rotate throughout the year, so you can come back again and again for a brand new experience every time.  Go ahead and reserve your table… and make it a date night to remember 💕  📍 Table 45 at the InterContinental Hotel Cleveland
📅 Every Fri, Sat & Sun evening
💰 $80 per couple  📞 Reserve at 216-707-4045 or OpenTable  #intercontinental #clevelandfoodie #clevelanddatenight #clevelandcontentcreator #hosted
Still thinking about last night at @playhousesquar Still thinking about last night at @playhousesquare … and honestly, I don’t think I’m over it yet.  @outsidersmusical is not your typical musical. It’s gritty, emotional, and pulls you right into the story of Ponyboy and the Greasers, fighting for belonging, identity, and survival. Based on the iconic novel and the classic film, this production brings a whole new layer of life to a story so many of us already love.  And it absolutely earns its hype! This show is the winner of FOUR Tony Awards in 2024, including Best Musical 👏  The rumble scene in the rain? It’s intense, powerful, and one of those moments where the entire theater just leans in. So well done!  But what really stayed with me was the emotion behind it all, the friendships, the struggles, and that deep need to belong.  There’s something special about nights like this that remind me how lucky we are to have Broadway performances right here in Cleveland ❤️  If you’re thinking about going… GO.
This one sticks with you.  #broadwaycleveland #bwycle #OutsidersTour
