The Wet Brush

The Wet Brush

This brush is AMAZING. Life changing. If…you have girls in the house. Recently I was at the salon and asked about a brush that would not cause my girls to scream every morning and evening. I was ready to pay ANYTHING to make hair brushing better at our house. All of the ladies said I

Good Old Fashioned Classic TV

Good Old Fashioned Classic TV

My kids have discovered the television show “Leave it to Beaver” thanks to both Common Sense Media and Netflix. I am thrilled that there are 101 glorious episodes to view. They now beg to watch one show before bedtime. I think we are on episode #7. I get so tired of what is currently on TV.

Beach Mountain Snow Tubing

Beach Mountain Snow Tubing

Back in November we tried out Beach Mountain the weekend it opened. We went on a Friday night and it wasn’t crowded at all. I don’t think enough people knew about it yet. It worked out to our advantage. The kids had a lot of fun. There was a small play area especially for those

Charlotte Turns Six

Charlotte Turns Six

Throwing a child’s birthday party is like torture to me. For real. Don’t get me wrong, I love to entertain. Adults. Family. Girlfriends. Not small kids. So every time one of my own kids’ birthdays approaches, I get the nauseating feeling that he/she will want a party. And I thought I was going to have

Summer Camp Sign-Up

Summer Camp Sign-Up

It might only be February, but some summer camps are already advertising and taking enrollments. And for a few of them, if you don’t sign up early, you won’t get in. Last year my girls did a variety of different camps. Charlotte did the Pony Camp at Parky’s Farm and a Caregiver Art Spark camp.

#GoRed

In honor of Go Red for Women Day, everyone is dressed in RED. If you are not aware about heart disease, make yourself aware. It is the #1 killer of American women. For real. Read Mayhem’s blog today. Her mom had a personal heart scare. It could happen to any of us. Plus, check out

My Favorite Fitness Apps

I’m back into the fitness/health/exercise/call-it-what-you-want thing. The holidays are never easy for me. Not enough time to get to every exercise class and food and drinks and Christmas cookies are everywhere! But now I’m back into my routine. And I have three main apps to thank for that. The MINDBODY Connect app is my link

Cincy Brew Bus

Cincy Brew Bus

Cincinnati is hopping with craft beer. (ha ha) And my husband LOVES beer. He also turned the big 40 on Christmas Day. But…It’s kind of hard to throw a birthday party during the holiday season. Instead, I scheduled a surprise craft beer tasting tour through Cincy Brew Bus a month AFTER his birthday. And surprised

Lego Mom

Lego Mom

We have had very little snow days this year…one (early November)? Maybe two? But the second one wasn’t even for snow…I think it was more about temperatures and ice? Anyway, on our most recent snow day (weeks ago) my kids became BORED because there was no real snow to go out and play in and

Let’s Go X

Let’s Go X

Well, hello there. I’m still here. I haven’t forgotten about my blog. Not really. Although I had to LAUGH OUT LOUD because apparently LinkedIn sent a notification out to anyone I’m connected to stating “CONGRATULATE TRICIA! She’s been at Take 10 for 4 years.” And so I started getting all of these “Way to go!”,
