Bluegrass for Babies started out as a backyard party fundraiser and has grown into a big festival with live music, great (healthy!) food, local craft beers,...
Smale Riverfront Park
Have you had a chance to visit the Smale Riverfront Park in Downtown Cincinnati yet? This sprawling park along the waters of the Ohio river is a wonderland for kids…and parents too quite honestly. I had as much fun as them exploring the new additions to the park. There are climbing walls, huge slides, larger...

Free Admission for Kids at the Newport Aquarium

ALICE (in Wonderland) at the Aronoff
Tonight Ella and I had a mother-daughter Valentine’s outing, and the highlight of our evening was the Queen of Hearts. After a delicious dinner at Wunderbar in Covington we went to the Aronoff Center downtown to see the Cincinnati Ballet’s production of ALICE (in wonderland). It was magnificent, mesmerizing and magical. Alice was adorable, the...
Cincinnati Ballet presents ALICE {GIVEAWAY}
I have a confession to make, I’ve only ever been to one ballet, and that is The Nutcracker. I have seen it several times over the years, but I have yet to see another Cincinnati Ballet performance. Not for lack of wanting, but because I just couldn’t make it happen. That is all about to...
