As a swim team parent, I know that the very first meet can be overwhelming. The most important thing is packing a bag and getting there on time. The following is what I have learned from our swim team. Not everything will be the same for all swim meets. However, this should give you an
Touch-A-Truck is a very fun FREE family event that usually happens during the summer. We often go to the Sharonville Touch-A-Truck. It is currently held at the Sharonville Convention Center one day each summer and is HUGE. There are a wide variety of vehicles that attend the event. If you’ve never been before, the kids
I should really rename this post “The Time I Had to Eat My Words”. I swore I wouldn’t take an elementary school kid to a concert. The first concert I can remember attending was Tiffany and New Kids on the Block at King’s Island way back in 1989 (thank you Google for verifying). I was
Pool Season is HERE! It’s pool season and I love it! The only thing I don’t like about pool season is the process of packing up to go to the pool. Charlotte LOVES to pack her own bag and helps me get everything ready to go. However, the bags she always used were inconsistent and
Yesterday, my kids had a one-hour early release. We had a little extra time after school before swim team practice. And everyone was hyped-up about the idea of summer starting. So I made them have a snack at the table and each kid create a list of things they wanted to do over the summer.

Carol Ann’s Carousel in downtown Cincinnati is set to open on Saturday, May 16, 2015. Henry and I got to take a sneak peek inside today and it truly is magnificent. You need to be 42″ to ride alone and it will be open year-round since it is enclosed. It will cost $2 to climb
Each parent has his/her own areas that are a main focus in their parenting with their kids. Battles they will fight. Decisions they will stick to day-to-day. One of those for us has been food and dinner time. I will not be a short order cook and my kids can go to bed hungry if
If you haven’t heard of and/or tried Abby Girl Sweets cupcakes yet…you are missing out. I knew there was a location downtown about a block from Fountain Square, but I did not realize until recently that we had one out here in the ‘burbs. Last week I was in the vicinity and just had to
I must admit that Facebook is such a time-sucker for me. And I find myself wanting to check it more and more and more often. And then when I do an hour goes by before I realize I’ve been sitting scrolling through Facebook on my phone for an hour. Ugh. And in reality, I
The all new Bravo! Cucina Italiana is now open in Rookwood! BRAVO! Cucina Italiana is a “polished casual” restaurant offering classic Italian food amongst the shadows of Roman ruins. The subtitle “Cucina Italiana” means Italian kitchen, in which all cooking is done in full view of the guest, creating the energy of a live theater. BRAVO’s
