![]() GO GREEN Green is still in, in a BIG way! But you don’t have to go too crazy to make this color work in your home. The human eye often translates green as a neutral, so you can add a lot without it feeling too wild. Add pops of green to your décor—think pillows, throws, or even a fresh plant or two. It’s the perfect way to celebrate the season without turning your home into a full-on pot of gold. Plus, greenery always brightens up a room and adds a touch of nature. 🌿 | ![]() GUTTERS Check Your Gutters Before the Spring Showers Hit! ☔ Before the rain really starts pouring, take a few minutes to clear your gutters of leaves, twigs, and other debris. It’ll help prevent water damage, mold, and those dreaded gutter backups. Plus, it’s way easier to do now than when you’re dealing with a full-blown downpour! 🌧️ Need somewhere to start? Click here to book a cleaning with Ohio Gutter Solutions! | ![]() BULB TIME It’s flower season y’all! 🌻 Now’s the perfect time to start planting early spring flowers like crocuses, daffodils, or tulips. They’ll add some much-needed color to your garden and give you a cheerful reminder that warmer days are on the way. Plus, they’re low-maintenance—just plant them and let nature do the rest! 🌷Plant these early blooms to welcome spring and enjoy color and life with little maintenance! 🌸 |
If there’s one thing that’s clear about Ali Burmeister, it’s that Irish pride runs deep.
From childhood memories of Irish dancing to corned beef and cabbage dinners, her Irish heritage has always been at the heart of her family traditions. “My sister and I both competed in Irish Dancing, and we’d either watch the St. Patrick’s Day parade or—better yet—dance in it,” Ali recalls.
“We even danced on the White House lawn! But what I love most about being Irish is how it taught us the importance of hospitality, family, and community. Our family reunions were huge—so big we had to wear name tags!”
Ali’s Irish roots and values shape both her personal life and the way she runs Sully’s, the cozy pub she owns in Medina with her family. “It’s all about family, community, and hospitality,” Ali says. “Those are the pillars of being Irish, and those are also the things that have helped Sully’s grow from the ground up.”
The pub itself is a product of a bit of fate and a lot of hard work. Ali’s dad, John Sullivan, who spent 40 years in trucking, was looking for something different, like many of us do.

It’s the BEST bread pudding I’ve ever had (and trust me…I’ve sampled a LOT of bread puddings). 🤣
Perfectly portioned—not too big, so you can savor every bite.
The whipped cream adds just the right amount of moisture for an even better texture.
