If you don't like snow, Cleveland is not the place for you.  I grew up only 3 hours south of here but the weather difference in those 3 hours is pretty significant.  I grumbled through our [LONG] winters up here for a good many years, and then my first {Little} was born.  His love of the snow has helped me appreciate it and enjoy it again :) 

I love watching my Littles together.  This is the first time we let the baby play and felt [fairly] confident that he wouldn't find eating the sand more enjoyable than playing in it.  It was a hit!

If you want a fun winter activity that makes you feel like you are at the beach, get the Brookstone Kinetic Sand.  

My "baby" (so glad he still let's me call him this) turned 4 in the spring and I finally edited his photos!!  This was such a fun mommy-son outing.  He was really getting into it...choosing spots for his photos and poses.  My sweet, silly guy has some of the photography bug as well.  I hope it grows with time and is something we can enjoy together.  Warning...over share.  I just couldn't help but share so many.
