FEBRUARY/MARCH <strong>2024</strong><br />
GREATER CINCINNATI<br />
Robert J. Slattery<br />
PUBLISHER<br />
This is the time of year when those of us in the Midwest begin to push through our<br />
cabin fever and are itching to get busy. My wife, Ellen, tends to focus her energy on<br />
organizing the interior of the home, sorting through drawers and closets, collecting<br />
piles of clothes and housewares to be donated or pitched.<br />
My thoughts tend to stray outside. Maybe I stop and clean up a few things in the<br />
garage on my way, but I tend to circle the house and see what work needs to be done.<br />
Is the landscaping looking a bit ragged? Do my garage doors need attention? Is this<br />
the year to get my paver patio rebuilt? And what about that outdoor living space<br />
we’ve been wanting?<br />
If you’re like us, you may need some inspiration to get started. I can’t think of a better<br />
place to do that than the <strong>Cincinnati</strong> Home + Garden show which begins <strong>February</strong><br />
24. Experts will be on hand to answer just about any home and garden question<br />
you may have. See page 29 for specific details. They will have organization experts<br />
on hand as well, but to get the ball rolling, check out Steps for Lasting Organization<br />
beginning on page 15.<br />
Every issue of Home & Leisure is designed to provide you with the resources you<br />
need to connect with your community—regardless of whether your goal is home<br />
improvement or downtime fun. We’d love to hear what topics you’d like to see going<br />
forward. Write us at publishers@housetrends.com<br />
