LIFESTYLE LETTER

We're so thankful for YOU! In this season of giving thanks, we often find ourselves reflecting on the many blessings in our lives. The true spirit of Thanksgiving encourages the conscious expression of gratitude. Its focus is on spending time with those that you love and it encourages giving back in a meaningful way. While ambition, competition and slaying goals can be very healthy, forgetting to place importance on being present and appreciating those around us that have helped us along in our journey, can leave us missing out on what truly matters. This Thanksgiving, I am especially thankful for each and every one of our Medina County Lifestyle readers and marketing partners — it's you that makes our town the vibrant community that it is. Also, I am so grateful to work with such an amazing team; Joe, Martha, Erin — it's such a pleasure to create something wonderful with you all every month. Finally, I am incredibly grateful for my fiancé, Josh, whose constant support, kind heart and unyielding love pushes me to be the best version of myself. I hope this month brings you and yours so much joy. Happy Thanksgiving, Medina County! Until next month,

Take-and-Bake with Blue Heron is Back ARTICLE BY EMILY SHEA

H OT SP OT | FOOD + BEV E RAGE

The holidays are upon us and we are so excited for Blue Heron Brewery to roll out its delicious takeand-bake meals for the third year in a row. After being such a huge hit in past years, the take-andbake meals are making a comeback in 2022 for those who want a restaurant-quality meal for their family get-together, but don't want to leave the house. Similar to previous years, Blue Heron will offer take-and-bake meals for Thanksgiving and Christmas that can be ordered for families of four or 10. And although the meals have been coined "take-and-bake," they are anything like your average TV dinner. In fact, each meal is specially curated by the culinary team at Blue Heron, utilizing unique flavors of the season, fresh ingredients and specific reheat instructions. The service is completely touchless – meaning all you have to do is drive up and the Blue Heron team will load your meal into your car. For Thanksgiving, Ben Erjavec, Blue Heron's executive chef and co-owner, and his team have come up with a delicious menu. It features Chef Ben's Famous Stuffing, roasted garlic parmesan whipped potatoes, a roasted turkey (size depending on the family size), homemade cranberry relish, fresh green beans and dessert. It even includes a bottle of wine. While the Christmas menu has not been finalized at the time this article was written, Chef Ben

expects it will be very similar to last year's. The Christmas menu for 2020 was a huge success, featuring a char-grilled filet mignon and an ovenbaked chicken Florentine, seafood pasta with shrimp, scallops and crab, herb focaccia with garlic compound butter, aged cheddar and chive twice-baked potatoes and even peppermint hot chocolate brownies. What's more, is that Blue Heron makes the process of ordering and picking up the meals almost as easy as enjoying them. Simply order on the website, BlueHeronMedina.com, and pick up your meal during the specified pick-up time. For each meal, there is also the option to add special additions, such as Blue Heron beer. Blue Heron's head brewer and co-owner, Mike Piazza, offers more than 16 in-house drafts that are available in cans and crowlers to go. Some of his delicious brew offerings include Twas the Heron's First Christmas - Christmas Ale; Hazy Wife, Hazy Life NE Style Hazy IPA; the Blue Heron IPA and more. For more information about this year's take-andbake meals, to see the menus, to place your order or to make a reservation, visit BlueHeronMedina. com or call 330.870.2583. The final menus for this year's take-and-bake meals will be posted around the holidays.

Shop For One-of-a-Kind Gifts and Celebrate the Holidays ARTICLE BY ERIN BAKA | PHOTOGRAPHY BY LEHMAN’S

LOCA LLY SOU R CE D | SH OPPI NG

A step-by step-journey to a simpler life. That was Jay Lehman's mission when he started Lehman's in Kidron in 1955. A man of purpose, serving the Amish with non-electric appliances lead Jay to a retail store full of items that would take others on a journey to the simpler life on the homestead. However, your homestead need not be out in the country. Even today, Lehman's vision for all to live a better, more comfortable life resonates more than ever with all types of lifestyles. Lehman’s is the No. 1 destination in Amish country with over 40,000 square feet of items you never thought existed or would ever think could fit in your life. As a bonus, Glenda, Jay’s daughter and Lehman's Director of Marketing, says, “You need to look up to see all the unique antiques that my father collected over the years. And be sure to look for the four amazing buildings that date back to the pre-civil war era that make up a large portion of our store.” Rich in nostalgia and history, each section has a purpose — anywhere from unique children’s toys to woodburning stoves. Everything Lehman’s sells can be used to keep your life sustainable, preserved and comfortable. All the pieces that you would need to buy or replace items once you begin your journey to a simpler life can easily be found. Jay was purposeful in what filled his store throughout the years, keeping people self-reliant and self-sufficient, and Glenda is focused on keeping his

vision alive. She also explains that there have been huge growth spurts over the years — like during the energy crisis in the 1970s and the Y2K movement in late 1999. Lehman's is even experiencing one now. What's more, is that popular influencers such as YouTuber Kent Rollins and “Anne of All Trades” bring visitors from all over the country to Lehman's. The recent trend of “cottagecore,” which encourages a lifestyle rooted in traditional skills like baking bread, gardening and sewing your own clothes, fits Lehmans’ mold perfectly.

LOCA LLY SOU R CE D | SH OPPI NG

Since the holidays are here, Glenda muses that Lehman’s can meet any gift-giving idea or challenge. Their shelves are full of everything from practical to pretty. Since the store’s mission is to help you with the next steps to a simpler life, there is a DIY section like no other. Glenda recommends Lehman's candle-making gift as great for the holidays because it's something you can do with someone you love, making it both a present and an experience. And even though Lehman's has a year-round holiday shop with unique ornaments and one-of-a-kind, holiday-inspired decorations, it’s the palpable holiday nostalgia that oozes

from every room this time of year that makes your visit extraordinary. Visit Lehman's at 4779 Kidron Rd., Kidron, OH 44618, and online at Lehmans.com to learn more and to start shopping. Also, be sure to visit Lehman's for their upcoming family-friendly festivals, events and demonstrations like their Old Fashioned Christmas celebration on December 3 from 10-3 p.m. Follow Lehman's on Instagram at Instagram. com/LehmansHardware and Facebook at Facebook.com/LehmansHardware to stay up to date on more future events and in-store specials.

O UR TOWN | HOM E + D ESI GN

From its roots as a small Amish home-building contractor, H&H Custom Homes has grown to its current role as a leader in the high-quality residential and commercial building market. Based in Loudonville, H&H's focus is on building forever homes and commercial projects for customers who treasure reputation, craftsmanship, reliability and long-term value.

management and turnkey services take the stress out of any building project. With a can-do attitude, patient customization and seasoned craftsmanship, they deliver what they say they will (and beyond). Every one of H&H's projects begins and ends with their proven process. It includes just four steps — dream meeting, scope and collaboration, dream build and key transfer. Here's what each step entails: DREAM MEETING: Meet directly with the H&H team. They want to learn about you and they want you to feel comfortable with them. Most importantly, chat about what you want and they'll discuss what the process of construction will look like. SCOPE AND COLLABORATION: This is when plans are designed and an estimate is compiled. Throughout this step, your budget will be considered and revisited often. Once you have decided on a plan that suites all of your design and budgetary needs, you will sign a contract and a construction schedule will be established. DREAM BUILD: Watch as the home of your dream takes shape. During this step of H&H's proven process, you will be communicating with your project manager about product and color selections, building development and overall construction updates. KEY TRANSFER: Your brand new home is complete and it's time for you to move in. Your project manager will hand over the keys to your new build and chat with you about long term home management. H&H's proven process has established them as a reputable builder among clients and within the great Northeast Ohio community. After working with H&H, one couple said, "We could not have been more happy. H&H created a beautiful space for us and did so in a highly professional manner. H&H greatly exceeded our expectations and we would/will use them again." (John and Doris via Houzz) For more information about H&H Custom Homes, call 419.994.4070 or search for them on Houzz.com.

BER’S IS ACCEPTING NOMINATIONS FOR A NEW GAS FURNACE AND AIR QUALITY SYSTEM

I NSP IR E D BY | LOCA L SERVI CE S

Celebrating National Veterans Month November is National Veterans Month, so what better time to be thankful for our veterans? Jesse Warren, Owner of JAWS-SDG, acquired three local HVAC companies that have been in business for over 30 years; Buds Heating and Cooling (Akron), Huge Heating and Cooling (Berea) and Ber's Heating and Cooling (Brunswick). Ber’s also provides all three companies with plumbing and electrical services. This month, each company will be giving back to our local veterans. According to Jennifer, the Director of Marketing at JAWS-SDG, “Jesse wants to serve our communities by providing quality products and services throughout all of Northeast Ohio.”

FIRST, TELL US MORE ABOUT BER’S, BUD’S AND HUGE. Jesse is very proud to keep these companies local to satisfy all their heating, cooling, plumbing and electrical needs. They service all makes and models and all three companies are proud to be American Standard certified dealers.

WHAT IS YOUR COMPANY’S MISSION STATEMENT? We are very focused on quality and the customer experience, from start to finish. Our goal is to be the best, not the biggest. Each one of our companies has been a

part of their community for 30+ years and we are proud to serve our customers like they are family. Our comfort care specialists provide a fully comprehensive precision diagnostic evaluation of all your systems in order to recommend the best possible solution. All three companies also offer a great specialized care plan for each individual customer’s needs.

HOW DO YOUR COMPANIES PLAN ON HELPING VETERANS THIS MONTH? Bud’s, Ber’s and Huge want to help local veterans by offering a newly installed American Standard Gas Furnace along with April Aire indoor air quality system. Each company will be donating one brand new American standard furnace system and installation to a veteran in need.

HOW DOES A VETERAN ENTER TO WIN? Beginning on November 1, veterans can enter to win or can be nominated — one entry per person, per company. To enter, visit BudsHVAC.com, BersHVAC.com or HugeHeating.com. You can also visit each of these businesses in person; addresses for each business can be found at the links above. The winners will be announced for each location on November 30.

Revamp Your Old Fireplace with The Place UPGRADE YOUR WOOD BURNING FIREPLACE TO GAS OR ELECTRIC JUST IN TIME FOR THE HOLIDAYS

H OM E U P DAT E | HOM E + DE S I GN

It's that special time of year again — a time marked by cozy evenings with steaming mugs of apple cider, afternoons spent relaxing by the fire and weekends devoted to time in the kitchen baking delectable treats. This year, we're especially excited to curl up with a good book by the fireplace. If you've been dreaming of more time by the fireplace but have spent years putting that desire on the back burner — maybe you're current fireplace needs a bit of a facelift before you'd consider starting it up again or maybe you don't have a fireplace and don't know where to start when it comes to purchasing and installing one — The Place is here to help. They offer dozens of different fireplace options and design combinations, ranging from natural gas stoves to wood burning.

If you love the smell and authenticity of real wood, a wood-burning fireplace could be for you. But if you want to skip the hassle of carrying dirty wood inside and taking on the maintenance of a wood-burning fireplace, natural gas is a cleaner, safer and easier alternative. Plus, it takes the fall chill out of the house without having to turn on your central heating system. Andrea Reedy, co-owner of The Place, explains that making the switch from a wood-burning fireplace to a gas or electric unit is easy with a HeatnGlo fireplace insert. It conveniently fits inside the existing fireplace and creates a beautiful fire at the touch of a button. The system's remote control is easy to use and even offers

H OM E U P DAT E | HOM E + DE S I GN

a thermostat mode for consistent warmth. Also, this type of fireplace pushes all of the intake and exhaust air outside so that the only thing left in your home is warmth and beauty! You will want to stop in The Place to feel the warmth and see their wide selection of fireplaces. For a limited time, there are special promotions on fireplace inserts, logs, and doors. Plus, they have a wide variety of design options, ranging from modern to traditional to transitional. To shop The Place's sale on HeatnGlo fireplace inserts, visit their Medina showroom at 2377 Medina Rd. Learn more about The Place and all of their products at YourPlace4.com.
