My friend Lisa is EXTREMELY creative. She is a great photographer, artist, thrifter, repurposer, and cook. She created an awesome end of school event and I asked her to share about it on the blog.

Cincinnati Pops Lollipops Family Concert – Superheros! ~ Giveaway
Who is your favorite superhero?
Whether you are young or old, there are certain superheroes that bring back fond memories. The Cincinnati Pops Orchestra has an upcoming superhero themed concert that will be fun for the whole family.
The concert, geared towards children and families, features iconic superhero-themed music and other surprises designed to capture the imaginations of the Orchestra’s youngest audience members and ignite a lifelong love of orchestral music.
The program highlights several tunes from superhero-themed movies and television, which were also featured on the latest recording from the Cincinnati Pops on the Fanfare Cincinnati label, Superheroes! Pops Conductor John Morris Russell, respected worldwide for his educational program, leads the concert, which also includes special guests Charles Ramsey (a student at the School for Creative and Performing Arts), who will perform a special piano work, as well as vocalist Chris Collins-Pisano.
There is also a good chance that you will hear the theme song from your favorite hero’s show/movie at the Cincinnati Pops Superhero Concert. I think this is a great way to introduce your kids to the arts with a theme that is loved by everyone. I can’t wait to watch my boys’ faces light up as they recognize songs from some of their favorite movies.

Procrastinators Pinterest St. Patrick’s Day ideas
I’m a deadline girl, so it’s only appropriate that I would start thinking about doing something for St. Patrick’s Day the day before. I did locate these pinterest ideas a while back. So that’s a start.
Here are some great ideas I found and the reference site for the pin. I think I might have to try a few of these.

Creative FUNancing
This past year has been one of the most financially challenging years we have had in our 13 years of marriage and yet many elements of this year have been the most fun. We have had to overcome what wasn’t in the budget with a lot of creativity.
I have been determined not to let our sub par income this past year keep us from squeezing every ounce out of what this city has to offer. We have only lived here a little over a year. My husband grew up here but has not lived here since he was a teenager.
Immediately upon arrival I began researching what was unique to this area and I will tell you how we financed several highlights this year by giving you a few examples.
