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

Henry will not be 5 until September. Our school district changed the cut-off date to August 1st during the last school year. So he will not be heading to kindergarten next week. I am glad. He is not ready. Isn’t that what they say about your last one? They are never really ready. So he’ll

Things I Discovered This Summer
Here’s a short list of Random Things I Discovered This Summer… The Nightingale is a FANTASTIC book. Not a quick-beach-read type of book. But an excellent story. Grab the tissues.

Touch-A-Truck
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
The 1989 Concert
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
Swim Bag Checklist for Kids
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
Summer Bucket List
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.
