Home Remodeling In mid-2019 we decided it was time to update our laundry room which is also our kitchen pantry. One of the previous owners had installed built-in shelves, but they were starting to sag and had no adjustability. The shelves were stationary and couldn’t move up or down. Some of them were super deep
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
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
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
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
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
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
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!”,
