Local Tourist: The fun, local things I did in March 2019 #ontheblog #localtourist Click To TweetLocal Tourist: March 2019
On Friday, March 1, my sister and I attended a Cincinnati Cyclones game (our local hockey team). It was a Wizarding World theme and we got these cool Cyclones themed wands! Of course, I had to wear my Harry Potter shirt too. And yes, both of my eyes are open – one just likes to squint sometimes. LOL
I’ve shared these already, but on Saturday, March 2, my mom and I attended a local library event and made these wooden bunnies (mine are the Spring ones, hers are the Easter ones).

On Thursday, March 7, my mom and I attended another library event and made String Art Bouquets!
And yes, another library event! On Saturday, March 9, my mom and I made Rustic Spring Garlands-
Later that day, my mom, sister, and I took my oldest niece and nephew to Paint and Bake, where we all painted pottery. Unfortunately, I don’t have a picture to show of our finished creations – but it was fun!
On Monday, March 11, my mom and I had ANOTHER library event where we made dandelion paintings!
Finally, on Saturday, March 23, I saw Kelly Clarkson in concert. She was fantastic – this was actually my third time seeing her live. Her opening acts were Brynn Cartelli (from The Voice) and Kelsea Ballerini. I didn’t see all of Brynn’s set, but I LOVE Kelsea, so it was great seeing her live too.
UPDATE: I finally have all the videos I took uploaded on Instagram, so check those out below and follow me on Insta if you want!
Whew, it’s been a busy – but really fun – March. What about you? Did you go on any local adventures this month? Let us know!
That’s so cool you got to see Kelly Clarkson in concert. I’ve heard she puts on a great show!
Kelly Clarkson! So fun!
I want to make a bunny now too! Those are super cute.
I love the library events and so cool that you saw Kelly Clarkson!
I love the HP themed game! How fun!! I’m so sad I missed KC on her Ohio tour. K and I love her (and KB!). We could’ve done the Columbus one and then we were IN Cincinnati the day of her concert there!! Ahh! I know so many people that went to the Cincinnati concert!
Wow! March was so awesome for you! The artsy stuff looks like so much fun! Hope April is good as well.
Wow, you had all kinds of fun happenings in March! I love watching hockey – and in person is even more fun. And all the arts and crafts are so pretty! Love the dandelion paintings. 🙂
What a fun month! I love that your library has so many fun crafting events! I wish my library did stuff like that. The Kelly concert looks amazing, she’s on my list to see live someday.
Look at you so pretty in that pic! 🙂 and… Kelly Clarkson in concert! I AM SO JEALOUS! But happy for you 🙂
that looks like a fun week 😀 you live in a place with lots going on! The concert looked amazing.
What an awesome month!! I LOVE Kelly! Oh my gosh, so jealous!! <3
I’d love to attend a hockey game! Maybe one day.
My goodness Lauren, what a massive month you’ve had! I absolutely love the crafts, especially the mason jar lid art wreaths, those look incredible and I would never have thought mason jar lids would have come in handy. STRING ART! I haven’t seen that for years Lauren and now it’s 9:30pm here on a Saturday night and I’m wondering if we have any wood and nails out in the garage because I have a hankering now I tell you!
I love everything you made at the library events – so cute!! <3

Looks like you had a fun month. I love all the crafting, but I think the bunnies are my favorite.
Okay, Kelsey and Kelly singing Miss Independent is epic!
I love these posts and I just love those Spring garland wreaths!

I love how you get around to fun things with your family. 🙂
Whaaaaaaaaat that is so cool! The Blues aren’t that cool at all (probably why I never went to a game because HARRY POTTER THEME WITH TEAM-THEMED WANDS). I love all the crafts you created at the library events – they’re always fun to go.
Wow, your March looks amazing! And your library looks fabulous too. 🙂 Also how awesome to see Kelly Clarkson in concert! Hope that April is another good one for you too!
Wow! You’ve been so busy! I love the bunnies! SO cute! Glad that the Kelly Clarkson concert was great! I haven’t seen her before. I used to loove hockey! I’d like to go to a game as an adult! XO – Alexandra

Wow! Sounds like you had a fantastic March! Love all the art projects you and your mom have been doing!
I love all the crafts that you get to do at your library. Such a fun thing to do and the projects all turned out super cute.
All of these library events sound like SO much fun, I wish I could go to these kind of things too! And yay for Kelly Clarkson, really like her songs, so glad you got to see her live 🙂
That’s a fun month! I LOVE those bunny plaques you both made.
I’m hoping to give this feature a try on my blog since i’m exploring so many new place with the move.

So jealous of you getting to see Kelly Clarkson! I am convinced that she and I are going to be best friends! I met her at a book signing once, and she said she liked my shoes…that’s all it takes for me to build our lifelong friendship lol.
Your library has such fun crafts! I think the bunny one is my favorite!
Looks like you have had a great month! A lot of fun at local Libraries. And Kelly Clarkson, awesome!
Oh Kelly! I bet that was so much fun! Thanks for sharing this with us!
Fun concerts and I love how you take advantage of the surrounding events.
I love going to hockey games and how fun that it was an HP themed event! Kelly Clarkson? So jealous! I’ll have to see if my library does fun things like this. I don’t think they do, but would love to try this!
What a fun month! I love all the crafts you made at your library–they have some awesome events!! I really need to see what kinds of things like this they offer.

My little festivals look rather trite compared to all of the local tourist activities you participated in. What a great public library you have. I am certain ours does nothing like the craft projects yours does. But just to be sure, I am going to check their website!!
Kelly Clarkson is such a talent. I have her first LP – so many great songs. And she seems so real and down-to-earth. Totally worthy of seeing in 3 different concerts.
