Have you had a chance to visit the Smale Riverfront Park in Downtown Cincinnati yet? This sprawling park along the waters of the Ohio river is a wonderland for kids…and parents too quite honestly. I had as much fun as them exploring the new additions to the park. There are climbing walls, huge slides, larger...
Do you pack lunches for your children, or do they pack their own? We are a family of lunch-packers, and sometimes I like to liven things up just to keep it interesting. I was given a few packs of Lunchbox Buddies note pads to check out and have fun with. Lunchbox Buddies are silly note...
When a trip to Florida was in the very beginning stages of planning Michael mentioned that when he was in high school he and his mom made a visit to The Dali Museum in St. Petersburg since he was so into art and a fan of Dali. After reminiscing about his visit to the museum...
The Cincinnati & Northern Kentucky region has no shortage of festivals, and whenever my family attends a festival we have a great time. If I had to choose our favorite festival though it would be the Old West Festival. It is a treasured fall family tradition for us! We dig out bandanas & cowboy hats and...
Happy Birthday to this cool guy who I’ve been hanging out with in interesting spots for over thirty years!
We are getting ready for a family vacation and I’m putting together some snacks for us to munch on in the car during the long drive. While Trail Mix is always a staple on our trips, I’ve added a new snack to the mix this year, Ranch Crackers. My Auntie Annie introduced me to this...
Summer is flying by, and because of how rainy it has been we haven’t been able to get out of the house and have as much fun as we usually do during the summer months. I refuse to let this rain get me down though! I’ve put together a Summer Bucket List of ideas so...
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...
Why should Cincinnati have all the fun for the All Star Game next week? Covington is celebrating the big event as well with a free, family friendly festival on the banks of the Ohio River. There will be live music from local bands, a Ferris wheel, giant slide, free activities for the kids and much...
Pita chips are great for pairing with dips and hummus, and they are really easy to make at home. For a long time we’ve been making Pita Chips for parties with a simple combination of pita bread, olive oil, salt and pepper. And they are always devoured at parties. Recently I decided to jazz things...
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...
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...
