Each Wednesday, I let you know about select fun events and other important updates in the Mama / kid world of Columbus.

• I hope everyone has been enjoying the higher temperatures and sunshine.   Even if our little ones have not yet adjusted to the time change, we need to remember these days in the midst of gray January.
• This Saturday, November 13 is the return of the PBJ & Jazz concert series.  These interactive concerts are a terrific way to introduce new sounds to your tots.  The concerts take place in the historic Lincoln Theater which is a beautiful and unique setting.
• Get a jump (or plie) on the holiday season, by attending the Dance with the Nutcracker event this Sunday.  A donation of a jar of peanut butter gets you and your budding ballerinas a chance to get behind the scenes with the beloved characters of the Nutcracker.
• If you happen to have a date night or dinner with friends planned this weekend, don’t forget it is Dine Originals week at several local Columbus restaurants.  Take a look at the menus and try something new!
