HI! I'M SO GLAD YOU'RE HERE.
HI! I’M SO GLAD YOU’RE HERE.

My name is Mady. I am a blogger/photographer/explorer based in Cleveland, OH. My story begins with a camera and an Instagram account. What started out as a personal account turned in to something so much more. I realized the only photos I wanted to share were ones that showed my followers how the world is theirs to explore, no matter where you live.

The thirst to travel can be quenched through small weekend trips within your own state as well as through big trips that take significant planning and might require a passport. Wanderlust in Ohio is my creative outlet to share my adventures throughout the state and beyond. I welcome you to follow me, as I continue to explore the world around me.

enjoyed a lovely hike today at Girdled Road Reservation. this park has some decent elevation for Ohio! I love this bridge and the Skok Meadow which currently has a lot of pretty flowers blooming. hiking a little less frequently these days with two kids and enjoying slower days like this. we’re lucky to have this beach access to Lake Erie. I remember when I first moved to Lakewood eight years ago and I told people I spent time at Edgewater beach they were shocked and told me how bad of an area it was. I really didn’t understand because it was incredibly peaceful, clean and crowdless. It was the very first year @clevemetroparks took over the area, cleaned it up and started making improvements. Now almost a decade later we have the Cleveland script sign, the new playground, the beach house and tons of walking/biking paths connecting to other parts of the city. And while it’s typically way more crowded now than it was when I first started going, it’s still one of my favorite places to visit. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I love a good boardwalk shot 😍 this is part of the lake to lake trail in Middleburg Heights. It was a great little hike with toddlers. If you park at the Lake Abram trailhead there’s also a small playground right before the boardwalk! Added bonus: @fatheadsbeer is 5 minutes away! We stopped there after to enjoy some food and beer. today was my first day home alone with both the kids, and I had zero expectations of going anywhere or doing anything 😆 but somehow we managed to make it to Edgewater and I’m soo glad we did (for my sanity). Having the @veergear cruiser made things so much easier getting from point a to point b. Not only does it fit all the things we needed to bring with us, but it fits both kiddos comfortably and is easy to maneuver. Can’t wait to have plenty more adventures this fall and feel confident in getting outside with a toddler and an infant! was way over due to catch a sunset 😍 Noah enjoyed his first hike at the early age of 4 days old 😂 felt it fitting to take him where we had Henry’s first hike after he was born. of course he was way more interested in the puddles than taking a picture—can’t blame him!
