CEDAR POINT It hasn't been the greatest summer up here in Ohio, but atleast we have a pretty cool getaway to ride some AMAZING roller coasters anytime we want! Its been cloudy, rainy, and downright dreary this summer mostly. I hope it starts to brighten up, get a little warmer outside, and let summer show through for the rest of July & August!   Now on to the fun

Mohawk Pewter Honeycomb Area Rug Gosh! I was so excited to finally be able to receive and review an area rug from Mohawk! They sell the most adorable line of rugs for the home. I usually look at them every time I pass by the rug aisle at Target! As most of you know, I also own a clothing boutique called Blue Layne Boutique, so obviously I am drawn to shades of blue. This rug was perfect for

We were so excited to be invited back to Castaway Bay Waterpark this year with our family. Our 9 year old daughter and our almost 2 year old son absolutely LOVE it there. It truly is a fun place for all ages, actually! Located in Sandusky, OH near Cedar Point, this water park packs a punch of fun! The indoor waterpark features a wave pool, an area for smaller ones with some smaller slides

Do you travel during the holidays? We actually normally do travel a ton. Thanksgiving we start by visiting my in-laws. We drive there, about 5 hours, with both kids. The drive actually isn't too bad, and we only stop twice...USUALLY. At Christmas time, I have flown with the kids to my parents house. They live about 12 hours away, and it would be insanity if I tried to drive that alone with

Our family LOVES Cedar Point, and every time we go...we have the BEST time ever! Cedar Point is located about an hour away from us, in Sandusky, OH. Easy location to find, and a beautiful beach view right on Lake Erie. Ride the high roller coasters and other exhibits and get a beautiful view of the water and other islands. The park is extremely accommodating and I will explain why further on

Today is the OFFICIAL first day of spring. Happy Spring to everyone! The local ice cream shops are opening, and it is seeming to get a little warmer up here in Ohio, which gives me hope that the snowy days and cold nights are coming to an end! I love SPRING, the weather is PERFECT for working out. When its freezing, I dont like to leave the house...and when it burning hot in the summer...well

My little guy just turned 10 months old yesterday!! It goes by way too fast and I seriously wish time would just slow down a bit. I have been nursing exclusively and letting him choose when he wants to eat solids. It has been such a slow start for solids for him, as most babies are eating two to three times a day now. I am really lucky if Brecken will eat a small breakfast and then maybe

Man, oh man were we excited when we got invited to visit Castaway Bay as a family! Its cold up here in Ohio, and thinking about swimming is a far distant thought this time of year. We dream about it of course, but its MUCH too cold! We do however have some smart people up north who knew we would need some indoor swimming recreation, and one of them is CASTAWAY BAY at Cedar Point in Sandusky,

You may remember back in December when I posted about a new booster seat for older children coming soon. Well, Safety 1st has released the Incognito Kid-Positioning Seat. I was really excited when Safety 1st sent me on to try out, specifically because I have an 8 year old daughter who HATES the thought of a "baby booster". Whenever I have questions about carseats I turn to my local

I hate when my kids are sick. It down right makes me sad to see them all stuffed up and coughing and there is literally next to nothing you can do for it. Did you know that pediatricians and even medication labels say you shouldn't administer any kind of cold & cough medicine, etc to children under the age of 6? Thats right. Keep reading... Why you ask? Well, it really
