February 05, 2019 - Our boys enjoyed a total of three snow/cold days last week, which means we recently finished up a five-day weekend (send booze). We made the most of it, though: we watched movies, read books, keep the fire going. And to our delight, they...

February 13, 2019 - Valentine’s Day is upon us. I’m trying not to roll my eyes. I’m only bringing it up because while searching the events calendar at columbusmakesart.com I noticed that several organizations have put together arts experiences to celebrate...

March 06, 2019 - Happy first week of March! As much as I’m still loving snow on the ground and chilly nights, I’m loving the slowly expanding daylight hours as we creep into spring. Weather never stops us from getting out and exploring, so as another...

June 05, 2019 - It’s finally time for the Columbus Arts Festival. As an employee of the Greater Columbus Arts Council I will be at the Festival site all day every day (and then some) June 7-9. So, half of this post will be me sharing some highlights of...

September 18, 2019 - By the time Friday rolls around I will be on my 12th straight day of work. Granted last weekend was fun “work,” but I am looking forward to a weekend where I have free time to play. I am planning a quick trip to Yellow Springs to check out...

October 16, 2019 - I spent this past weekend on a Cub Scout campout with my oldest. It was wonderful to be immersed in nature with this beautiful autumn weather, although once the sun went down it was a cool 36 degrees out. I’m excited for more adventures...
