St. Paddy's Day in Cleveland: Get Prepared Now!
One of Cleveland’s largest celebrated holidays is coming up quick… We think you’ll agree that we’re all excited for St. Patrick’s Day, which falls on a Saturday this year! First, we think it will be wise to physically prepare ourselves for St. Patrick’s Day. Task one: Drink lots of water! Just kidding, but seriously - Hydrate! Especially if you plan to head to Downtown Cleveland for the parade and festivities afterwards. It could wind up being a long day! Since St. Patrick’s Day is on a Saturday, this means there are going to be even more events to attend! You’ll want to plan out your day and give yourself ample time to get to your destinations. Start by checking out cleveland.com and other websites to see the when’s and where’s of the day! Part of planning your day out involves how are you going to get to your destination(s). Uber? Lyft? Drive to one of the rapids and take it downtown to Tower City? Attempt to drive yourself (not suggested unless you book a hotel!)? Choose the most feasible and affordable option for you! Who is going with you and… What are you wearing? Something green, right?! Part of a successful St. Patrick’s Day outing is all about the outfit. There are plenty of affordable options, and some of the most fun come from thrift stores! Since we only have around 19 days left to prepare, some stores have already begun to di

The winter season is said to be a season of preparation! The earth is preparing to give birth to fresh, new life come Spring time, but now is the perfect time to get prepared! Yes, we’re talking about Spring Cleaning and the opportunity to give your home a fresh, new look. First, plan to succeed. You want to make sure you’re hitting every nook and cranny while checking off every box. Before you start jumping into cleaning, moving things around, and throwing out clutter, you’ll want to set a plan of action. Write lists of items you’ll need and/or what you want to get rid of. Create smaller checklists for each room and give yourself deadlines for when you want to have it completed. Next, put the plan into action. Make sure your plan includes: Wiping things down, like your walls, ceilings, and baseboards. Vacuum and shampoo all your rugs and carpets. Dust your shelves, ceiling fans, ledges and nick knacks. Wash the windows and air out the screens! Sort through your clutter and slowly begin to get rid of the items you no longer use or want. Have a box or bag in every room – One marked for ‘trash’ and another for ‘donations.’ Cleaning, sorting, and decluttering now will help you get that breath of fresh air once Spring time rolls around! After all, there are only about 30 days left of
