2/8/15 - By Mary Beth Lawlor

Here's our collection of fun and creative Valentines activities to do this week. Although we only highlight one activity per day in this post, you can find plenty of other options in our Event Calendar. This week you can enjoy a special tea, painting and some yoga poses.. If you're planning beyond this week, be sure to check our February Go List, which has 20 of our favorite events across the state throughout the month. Of course, our Indoor Play Guide has many fun ideas too. Editor's Note: Some of these events may be canceled or postponed by the occasionally unpredictable winter weather. Always call the venue first to confirm. Stay warm and safe!

After fulfilling a childhood dream of one day living in a high-rise building in a big city (eight years in LA and 10 in Manhattan), Mary Beth is now partially fulfilling another childhood dream. As a kid, she envisioned her four gorgeous children running through the idyllic countryside while she created pottery in her studio. Well, fast forward 30 years and there is no pottery studio and only two kids but she has the idyllic countryside part down. After studying business and art, and then working in corporate marketing, graphic design as well as event planning and development, Mary Beth is now happily blogging.
