Oxford Hometown

🎭✨ Hey Oxford families! A little bird told me there's magic brewing at The Giving Tree Collective: their Afterschool Theater Class for Kids is bringing the enchanting world of "The Wizard of Oz" to life! Starting March 19, 2024, young thespians aged 5-12 have the chance to step into Dorothy's ruby slippers—or maybe the Tin Man's shiny shoes—in an 8-week program designed to inspire and empower.

This isn't just play pretend; we're talking professional theater lessons that are going to boost your kiddos' confidence, sprinkle them with teamwork magic, and supercharge their public speaking skills (better start preparing those Oscar acceptance speeches!). And the best part? The grand finale is a full-scale performance where these munchkins can show off their hard work under the spotlight.

The price tag for this once-in-a-lifetime experience? A steal at $189! But don't wait for a tornado to sweep you off to the registration; spots are limited, so make sure to sign your star up ASAP!

Experience the joy of creativity, watch your child's imagination soar over the rainbow, and be a part of a community celebration that will reverberate way beyond the walls of any theater. Oxford, let's get ready to applaud our kids as they take us down the Yellow Brick Road! 🌈👠🦁🎭

P.S.: Save the date for the must-watch show on May 14. I'll be there, and I hope to see a crowd cheering on our tiny Dorothys, Scarecrows, and Lions. Let's bring the house down (but hopefully not on any witches)! 🏠🧙‍♀️👏

For spring vacation travel, smart, efficient packing is key.

Plan outfits ahead to avoid overpacking. Opt for versatile clothing pieces that can be mixed and matched. Think about pieces in similar color schemes. Roll clothes to save space and minimize wrinkles. If you have several connecting flights, aim to travel with just carryon luggage, avoiding potential for lost bag drama. Nothing ruins a vacation like a lost suitcase! Utilize travel-sized containers (under 3 oz.) for toiletries to meet airline regulations and pack all liquids in a clear, quart size ziplock bag. Keep essentials like medications and travel documents easily accessible. Consider the weather at your destination and pack accordingly. Don't forget chargers, if you're going abroad you will need a converter, and electronic accessories.

Other pro tips include, securing your seat ahead of time and checking into your flight online, 24 hours ahead of boarding.

Packing with a plan ensures a stress-free and organized spring vacation travel experience. Where are you going this spring?

What's my favorite thing about having a garage?
Not having to clean the snow off the car!

However, if the garage is cluttered and messy, there may not be room for the car. Here are my top tips for garage organization:
1. Declutter: Streamline possessions by donating or discarding unnecessary items.
2. Storage Solutions: Invest in shelves, cabinets, and wall-mounted organizers.
3. Utilize Vertical Space: Hang bikes and tools on hooks to free up floor space.
4. Clear Pathways: Ensure easy car access by keeping pathways unobstructed.
5. Seasonal Rotation: Rotate seasonal items to maintain order year-round.
6. Labeling: Label storage for quick item retrieval.
7. Functional Layout: Arrange items strategically for accessibility.

Creating well-organized space in the garage will not only accommodate your belongings but ensure there is still room for the car.

While providing a focal point in a space, wood burning, electric, gas, and gel fireplaces each offer their own diverse aesthetic and ease of use.
