Play in the "Snow" or Go See a Show!

Are you ready for some....football?  Honestly, I'm having a hard time getting excited about The Big Game. I don't have a horse in this race, and it just doesn't feel like that time of year. But on Sunday, we'll have made it through January. With no snow (or ice per se)...just a whole lot of rain. I've had enough rain. I may pull for Seattle just because I feel for the people who live there - I could never handle the rainy climate of the Pacific Northwest. Of course, I can't say I feel much better for the people of New England right now! I've been busy pinning party recipes to my Game Day Pinterest Board though - so perhaps I'll just do a lot of cooking for fun.

So what's in February? Well, Monday is Groundhog Day for starters. I sure hope Punxsutawney Phil doesn't see his shadow. We may have not have had the coldest of winters so far this year, but my family has been less than healthy. And I know we aren't alone - fever virus, stomach flu, head colds.... yuck! Some clean, spring air is exactly what we need... not to mention extended daylight hours.

Spring WILL be here before you know it, so if you want to get your "winter" activities in, you still have a few weeks to do so at SNOW MOUNTAIN at Stone Mountain ParkIce Skating at rinks including Atlantic StationPark Tavern at Piedmont Park, and the new Avalon in Alpharetta, to name a few. Or you could skip town and head somewhere like Sapphire Valley for the weekend and ski (see my article below!).

If you want to stay inside, I highly recommend seeing what the metro area has to offer with theatre and performing arts. There are some GREAT family shows playing right now, and it's the perfect time to enjoy one. WICKED and TUCK EVERLASTING are tops on my list!

In our household, we're gearing up for baseball season - "tryouts" for Little League are only a week away!! It's that time again...but I'm looking forward to evenings at the ballpark. WARM evenings anyway.

WINNERS!! WINNERS!

Congrats to the winners of last week's giveaways!

Have a great weekend and say goodbye to January!
