The Cincinnati Museum Center Presents The Art of the Brick
The Cincinnati Museum Center‘s latest special exhibit, The Art of the Brick, is extraordinary! I attended a special media event last week and got a sneak peek at The Art of the Brick and even had a chance to meet the awesome artist behind the LEGO creations, Nathan Sawaya, who was a corporate lawyer that...
Pyramid Hill Sculpture Park & Museum
During Spring Break this year we spent a day exploring the city of Hamilton, Ohio. We spent the majority of our time that day traipsing around the Pyramid Hill Sculpture Park & Museum. What a magnificent park it is! We wandered over hills, through the woods, by the gardens and around ponds on a...
Mummies of the World at the Cincinnati Museum Center
Recently I was given a sneak peek of the “Mummies of the World” exhibit at the Cincinnati Museum Center thanks to WCPO Insider. I took my nine year old son Max with me since he has shown such an interest in Mummies and Egypt in the past. I did not know much about this exhibit...
Family Saturday at the UnMuseum
My friend Liz invited our family to the UnMuseum at the Contemporary Arts Center downtown on January 25th, which just so happened to be Henry’s 4th birthday. I told the kids that this was Henry’s birthday party, since I knew it would be a festive day at the museum. Liz had prepared a “Family Saturday”...
Holiday Toy Trains at the Behringer Crawford Museum
Henry and I went to see one of our favorite holiday attractions today, the Holiday Toy Trains at the Behringer Crawford Museum in Devou Park.

Thursday Art Play at the UnMuseum
Henry and I went to the UnMuseum at the Contemporary Arts Center downtown today for Thursday Art Play for preschoolers. We had a marvelous (and messy) morning! He loved doing some truly creative projects geared for little ones, and then he explored every inch of the UnMuseum. I see this being a regular happening for...
{this moment}
Inspired by SouleMama: A Friday ritual. A single photo – no words – capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember. If you’re inspired to do the same, leave a link to your ‘moment’ in the comments for all to find and see....
Create Your Own Chihuly Sculpture
Our family loves the arts, and we also love creating our own works of art. A few months back I read about a very cool art project for kids on the blog Mary Making and it inspired me to do a similar project with my children. The project was to create a plastic sculpture that...
A Visit to the Cincinnati Art Museum
Last week I took the kids to the Cincinnati Art Museum. That’s right…four small children at an Art Museum. I was nervous at first, but felt much better when we arrived and I saw busload after busload of noisy little children entering the museum. I have always thought of the art museum of a quiet,...
