Dropping a Letter to Santa

By on November 15, 2011 in Educational, Limited Time, Shopping, Winter

Yes, the holidays are upon us…soon to crush my will to live. I am trying, though, each year to not be a total Scrooge. My husband loves Christmas, and it is seriously his favorite time of year…besides his birthday. I promised him five years ago that I would *try* to enjoy myself during the holiday [...]

I Think My Child is a Hoarder

By on October 21, 2011 in Educational, Limited Time

Have you ever seen that show “Hoarders” on A & E? Friends had told me about it, and I didn’t understand why they talked in such horror about some of the stories until I watched it. Hoarders can be suffocated by their own stuff! Seriously, some hoarders save EVERYTHING…even their empty twinkie wrappers. Yes, if [...]

Olentangy Indian Caverns in Delaware, OH

By on September 11, 2011 in Birthday Planning, Educational, Exercise, Fall, Play Outdoor, Spring, Summer

I hadn’t been to the Olentangy Indian Caverns since a 4th or 5th grade field trip, and remember being impressed. As an adult, the visit was even better.  A friend and I recently took our kiddies, and found there was much more to do than squeezing our bodies through underground rock formations. They had mini-golf, [...]

Hocking Hills’ Old Man’s Cave in Logan, OH

By on August 22, 2011 in Educational, Exercise, Fall, Play Outdoor, Spring, Summer

I forgot how close Hocking Hills was to Columbus. For some reason, I thought it was a two hour or longer trip, but it isn’t. Drivetime is only give or take one hour twenty minutes. This means hiking in one of the most beautiful places in Ohio can be a wonderful family day trip (especially [...]

Nanny Search in Central Ohio – Easier Than You’d Think

Nanny Search in Central Ohio – Easier Than You’d Think

By on August 17, 2011 in Educational, Fall, Spring, Summer, Winter

I’d like to begin this post with information on the artwork I’ve used called “Mary Poppins” by Shoshana Dubiner. I believe Mary Poppins is the quintessential figure people think of when the word “nanny” is spoken. Look over the painting and you will see that the child is scared, he is getting a new nanny [...]

Kids Classes at Whole Foods in Dublin, OH

I’ve been wanting to check out the kids classes Dublin Whole Foods offers for sometime now. Finally, we got the chance and attended Kids in the Garden. We made healthy oatmeal and flax seed cookies, took a tour of Children’s Patio Garden, and had a snack. All for free! The class was located in the [...]

Slate Run Living Historical Farm in Canal Winchester, OH

By on July 1, 2011 in Educational, Exercise, Fall, Play Indoor, Play Outdoor, Spring, Summer, Winter

Imagine stepping back in time where there are no cell phones, cars, television, or drive-thrus. Now imagine pumping your drinking water, keeping a root cellar because you grow and make your own food, and living with no air conditioning in the humid heat of July in Ohio. All of these thing were daily life in [...]
