EDITOR'S NOTE
WORDS BY SUSAN BRYANT
Here Comes February! Has your family reached the pinnacle of cabin fever yet? This time of year, it seems that the itch to have a change of scenery and just get out is at an all time high. Good thing this month is only 28 days and gets us that much closer to spring!
Publisher Mary Wynne Cox mary@cincinnatiparent.com Editor Susan Bryant susan@cincinnatiparent.com
With that thought in mind, we’ve got a few ideas to keep you going this February. First, if you have a baby at home, it can seem like gathering supplies and bundling up to go anywhere can be a hassle in the winter. There are fun destinations though that make the effort worth your while – and we’ve got five great picks in Out and About with Baby. What else can help get you through a cold winter day? Thinking about warm sunshine and sandy beaches! Check out our article Let’s Go to Florida for some travel tips on places to visit you might not know about in the sunshine state. (Because it’s not too early to start planning for spring break!) You know what else is right around the corner? Summer camp registrations! Believe it or not, now is the time to think about what your kids will want to do when school’s out. Be sure to take a look at our Summer Program and Camp Guide for a list of options to consider. And check out our article on Day Camp for some tips on how to evaluate various programs.
Still need some good ideas for how to spend a February day? This month there are special events for Valentine’s Day, home and garden shows and maple sugar demonstrations – just to name a few. Our Community Spotlight page and February Calendar will give you enough possibilities to fill each and every day this month. So hang in there – before long this snow and cold will be just a distant memory!
