It was such a treat to finally meet Monica Ricci in person! Monica, who is our expert on  our series "The Big O: Organization", was passing through Cincinnati and able to visit us for a few days.

During her visit we introduced Monica to the infamous Skyline Chili, Graeter's Ice Cream and the Nintendo Wii.  Doug impressed her with his homemade gourmet pizza. Jen and Jeff had a delicious grill out for us and also treated us to dinner at their favorite Tavern, Maribelle's.  We also celebrated Jen's birthday!  We had the most fun doing a live podcast together - versus over the phone - as we discussed our personal 5 favorite ways we keep life simple in our homes.  

 The highlight of the week was visiting our contest winner, Natasha Bigl of Loveland Ohio, and organizing her master bedroom.
