Lazer Kraze Giveaway {CLOSED}

Has your family had a chance to visit Lazer Kraze?  They have two locations in our area, in Mason, Ohio and Erlanger, Kentucky (as well as a location in Columbus, Ohio).  I’d say that Lazer Kraze is a kid’s paradise, but honestly, it’s not just kids that have fun at Lazer Kraze.  It’s a blast...

2015 Free Shakespeare in the Park presented by Cincy Shakes

­ The Cincinnati theater scene is pretty awesome and has a lot to offer, but when you have a large family sometimes it’s not in the budget to take in many shows and performances.  Luckily though we have a pretty wide array of FREE performances in our area, from stage productions to concerts.  And the...
Spend a Day in Hamilton Ohio

Spend a Day in Hamilton Ohio

Edit:  June 2023 – I have come to realize that this post has some outdated information so I have deleted places that have since closed in Hamilton and will endeavor to make a day trip to Hamilton to make some updates this summer!  That being said, there’s still some good stuff here! I’m not sure...

Throwback Thursday :: Taft’s Ale House

I love to see beautiful old dilapidated buildings transformed and finding new beginnings.  St. Paul’s Church in Over the Rhine is a perfect example, it has been born again as a brewery, restaurant and bar….Taft’s Ale House and Nellie’s Tap Room.  We have yet to dine at Taft’s Ale House, but we did stop by...
Northside Farmers Market

Northside Farmers Market

I love to visit Farmers Markets as often as I can for fresh food to use in my kitchen.  This month we visited a new to us market, the Northside Farmers Market which takes place in Hoffner Park on Hamilton Avenue in Northside during the warmer months.  The Northside Farmers Market is unique in that...
Free Admission for Kids at the Newport Aquarium

Free Admission for Kids at the Newport Aquarium

I absolutely love to keep the kids busy during the summer and to have all sorts of adventures, but with a large family I have to find deals whenever I can so we don’t break the bank.  Lucky for us summer time is the best time to take the kids to the Newport Aquarium.  Not...

Last week we had the opportunity to have an awesome kick off to summer at XhilaRacing in Florence.  What is XhilaRacing, you ask?  It’s an indoor go-kart facility with electric go-karts instead of gas powered karts.  Go Karts are excellent fun for a family outing (8 and up), a girls night out, a work outing,...
The Eagle Food & Beer Hall

The Eagle Food & Beer Hall

Any time you talk about fried chicken in Cincinnati or Northern Kentucky someone is bound to mention The Eagle Food & Beer Hall in Over the Rhine.  The Eagle’s fried chicken truly is something to talk about.  It’s very tasty!  But it’s not just about the chicken at the Eagle…their sides and snacks are pretty...

2015 Summer Fun Giveaway {Closed}

School’s Out For the Summer!  I’ve always loved summers with my kids, we have so much fun together and I try really hard to find new fun adventures for them to have each year…from bike rides in the park to visiting new (to us) museums.  This past school year I subbed quite a bit, so...

I Love Lucy® Live on Stage at the Aronoff Center

I Love Lucy® Live on Stage at the Aronoff Center

Confession:  I grew up with a love for old movies and tv shows.  I LOVED the classics.  On the weekends we’d go to our local video store and get some old classic movies and shows on VHS…yes, that long ago.  I am a huge fan of I Love Lucy…it’s hilarious!   I’ve failed as a...
