The cold doesn't bother us! @ncoastharbor's #icefestcle was snow impressive this year. Pretty brrr-illiant. And, summer feels 131 days closer. #visitmeincle #eatplaylivecle #thisiscle #discoverohio #discovercleveland #ohiolove #myohioadventure #igcleveland #clevelandkid #winterincle #noschool #clewinter #clevelandkids #northeastohio

February brings lots of indoor as well as outdoor fun! 

There are even some free events open on President's Day when schools are closed.

What to do MLK Day in Northeast Ohio 2019

Rumor has it, it's supposed to be a mild winter. Selfishly, I am hoping it will be cold enough for North Coast's annual Ice Fest!

Another @ncoastharbor Ice Festival under our belts! We slapped a hockey puck, looked at ice sculptures, and froze our asses off! #eatplaylivecle #thisiscle #clewinter #northcoastharbor #icefest #winter #clevelandkids #dtcle #cleveland

Family Fun Events To-Do in Northeast Ohio January 2019

Hello, January!

The last two weeks of 2018 have been pretty laid back. We tried very hard, to do very little.

LEGOS, reading, and watching a lot of TV has been our week. I miss my parents and large family gatherings but there's something so much better - just the four of us, cocooned in our home. #cantmisswhatyouneverhad #homesweethome #cleishome #familytime #momentscaptured #eatplaylivecle #clevelandkid #lazydays #wintertime #winterincle #lovethem #siblinglove #siblings #cozychristmas #cozyhome

January brings resolutions, new beginnings, Disney on Ice, and fun in the snow.

What We Did Last Week: CLE at Christmas and the Winchester

There haven't been many opportunities that I would wear an ugly Christmas sweater. Holiday or no holiday. I didn't even own one for the annual holiday sweater brunch I host at work.

In fact, I didn't own one until this past week!

Thank you, Target Cartwheel and 40% off!

This past weekend, I sort of lived in mine.

Starting at the crack ass of dawn Saturday. I really wanted a Christmas photo downtown, with the lights, and us in holiday sweaters. The best time to do it is early in the morning. No one is there and it's dark enough to see the lights.

Let's go take our Christmas photo before the sun comes up! #babyitscoldoutside 🎄📸 #eatplaylivecle #christmastime #thisiscle #happyincle #visitmeincle #clevelandgram #ohiolove #clevelandpublicsquare #dtcle #discoverohio #myohioadventure #christmastraditions #christmaslights #wintertime

December in CLE! Family Fun Events To-Do in Northeast Ohio 2018

Hello, December! CLE is snow pretty in winter! 

View this post on Instagram

Lunch with Santa at @deweyspizza is a favorite tradition with friends. . I've wondered over the years how not being close to family would shape holidays. While I feel a little melancholy thinking of holidays in my past, I know my kids haven't missed out. And, I'm not sad. Our family traditions may not be what I had imagined, but there is a whole lotta love. . #eatplaylivecle #lovinglakewood #TerribleWritingClub #terriblethanksforasking #christmas #christmastime #santa #santaspotting #happyincle #thisiscle #familytimes #busymom #momentscaptured #makingmemories

December is always such a mixed bag of feelings for me. It's going to be cold, there is going to be glad tidings and melancholy memories, and there is so much to do before the end of the year.

As the kids get older and have more opinions, there seems to be even less time to do all the things I want to do with them. But, I will try damn it! Even if it means breaking out the guilt!

Lucky for me, they are good sports.

Team Slytherin took the house cup in Harry Potter trivia. I'd like to say it was because we are better fans and not because we were louder. Thanks for inviting us @gdgb214!
