Nobody (and I truly mean nobody) was more excited than me when Punxsutawney Phil called for an early spring. I’m choosing to ignore the fact that he’s only been correct 40% of the time and diving into all things spring. So long, winter. Your snowfalls have been beautiful and thankfully you’ve been pretty mild. So long, car scraping.  So long, snow suits.

With spring just around the corner, I am thankful to live in a city that has so much to offer from baseball to parks to museums. Here are some fun things that you can do at home or out and about with your little ones this spring:

I am a Cincinnati transplant. My husband and I moved here last October from Washington, D.C., where I was an Early Childhood teacher, instructional coach, and most recently principal at a charter school. I’m now a mom to a precious 8-month-old boy and a dramatic 2-year-old golden retriever. I am passionate about education and love spending time with family, reading, walking/ hiking, Pure Barre, taking pictures, discovering new restaurants, fantasy football, and “quick” trips to Target! I’m excited to start exploring all that Cincinnati has to offer a family and to share my journey into motherhood (and undoubtedly some first-time parent laughs) with you!
