Who can believe it's March already?! Time flies a little fast some times - but five reasons that I am happy to see the beginning of this month:
1. New rotation: Peter's now done with the month of working the night shift, which means exciting things like going to bed at the same time for the first time in a month, eating freshly cooked dinners (together!) rather than microwaved leftovers, and going out for frozen yogurt on a weeknight (because we can).
2. Personal space: Along with the above - in February I moved my grooming into the main floor bathroom during the week to accommodate Peter's daytime sleep schedule, but the bathroom hardly accommodated me... Glad to have all my stuff in its proper place again and be able to get ready in the morning without constantly dropping things in the sink.
3. Spring: it's pretty much been the mildest winter ever, which actually makes me
even more excited for the upcoming first day of spring. Fresh air, flowers (that's one of my daffodils above), lightweight jackets, birds chirping - so lovely.
4. The March issue: my favorite Cincinnati Magazine issue of the year has arrived - the where to eat issue. We've been working on trying all the restaurants on the top 10 list from last year's issue, which have for the most part been fabulous. And I've got some delicious date nights to plan now based on this year's revised list...
5. Fun challenges: I saw this photo-a-day challenge in February but thought I'd wait for a fresh month to start - a fun way to mark the month and exercise a little creativity with everyday life. Today's prompt was fruit, which is fitting as a big bowl of berries has been my favorite snack all week.



That magazine is the exact reason I can't wait to move. We have a similar magazine, but it didn't provide us with any new restaurants to try. The winners were places like Olive Garden, Outback Steakhouse, etc..
