I love to eat, don’t get me wrong. And drink. But, one of my recent goals is to cut down screen time (and couch time) by taking part in more activities.
I’ve been doing a ton of research on local classes and workshops that I’m interested in. SO, in case anyone else feels the same way I thought I’d share with all of you.

Be sure to bookmark this for any future special occasions, girls nights or date nights where you don’t want to ‘just’ grab another drink or dinner. Certificates are also fantastic gift ideas for an experience you can do together.
I was shocked to see such diversity and everything we have in this city at our fingertips.
If you’ve taken any of these or others, let me know what you thought!
