Winter Weather

Its winter in Northeast Ohio and staying indoors is generally the norm. As we count down to spring consider the following to make your indoor stay bearable.

Game Night Remember game night at your house with your family? You ordered a pizza, listened to some music and played a board game that could last into the wee hours of the night (well, maybe just 10 p.m.). Although your childhood years have passed, there's no reason you can't revive that old tradition with your new family or just a big group of friends! Whether it's a night in with the girls or just a few couples getting together to catch up, game night is a great way to enjoy a cold night in, when the bars seem a little too far away and the restaurants a little too crowded.

Scrap Booking Turn off the TV, turn on your favorite music and reminisce about the good old days, while making your memories last a lifetime. Scrap booking is something that is perfect to do alone or with others. Together you can share stories and memories while learning more about your friends and loved ones, or simply sit alone with your favorite CD and relive your days of yore.

Cooking You can do it! As a fun endeavor alone or with friends, try cooking a tough recipe that you've been dying to eat, but were too afraid to cook. Make pizza from scratch, stuff a chicken or even just try to perfect your macaroni and cheese — and hey, if it doesn't work out, you can always order pizza!

Keep these indoor endeavors in mind and you'll be sure to make the most of your nights in.
