Have Some Late Summer Fun At Wildwater Kingdom

Disclosure: I am a Cedar Point blogger and I was given free tickets to bring you this review of Wildwater Kingdom. Earlier this month I headed to Wildwater Kingdom for a fun day at the waterpark with my family. I was extra pumped because my son's only birthday request was that we go to a waterpark and I managed to make it happen. This was our fourth time coming to the waterpark over the past … [Continue reading...]

Testing Out The NewAir AF-520 Outdoor Misting Fan!

We are now entering year four of battling my daughter's eczema. I don't talk about it much, because it's frustrating. But the near-constant presence of itchy skin can be unbearable for her, and it's been a heck of ride trying to figure out what her triggers are. We know one for sure: When she gets too hot outside, she gets itchy. Then she doesn't want to play and simply wants to go back into … [Continue reading...]

Halloween Is Here! (Sort Of) Our Trip To The I-X Center’s Trick Or Treat Street

I was blessed with the opportunity to take my family to the local Trick or Street Street at the famed I-X Center this past weekend. I was a huge fan of this event because: it was indoors (I don't do well hen I'm outside and the temp is under 60 degrees) it was rides and games and not just candy did I mention it was indoors? I'm a big fan of going door-to-door to trick or treat, but our … [Continue reading...]

Is Having Kids Overrated Or Simply Not What We Expected?

I'm currently reading Jessica Valenti's book, "Why Have Kids? A New Mom Explores the Truth About Parenting and Happiness" and let me say this: If I was childless and someone handed me a copy of this book, I probably would go get my tubes tied. Or at the very least, an IUD.  It is VERY thorough in detailing the ways the parenthood challenges us—both on a personal level and as a society. It makes … [Continue reading...]

What’s The Easiest Way To Help Fundraise For Your Child’s School? Box Tops For Education

I've written extensively about education on this blog. From my own posts talking about my quest to get this graduate degree before my sanity runs out or my posts on helping my daughter get her educational career off to a great start, I think I've made it very clear that education and the process of bettering yourself is very important to me. So when General Mills asked me to participate in its … [Continue reading...]

{Review} Smell Goods For Your Home – Scentsy

I can't tell you how many times I've read about Scentsy on other blogs. It's so popular I'm beginning to think it's like Avon of the 80s. YML friend Kanesha, who blogs at Money Matters Mama, is a new Scentsy consultant and she is so gracious as to  donate 15-20% of the profit to the YML scholarship program from people that order from this site. She's incredible, isn't she? To order, go … [Continue reading...]

Pretty As A Picture For Summer

As I wrote last summer, I love dresses. The recent heat wave (where it was 82 degrees and gorgeous in March) allowed me to pull some of my dresses out of the back of my closet and take inventory. I've got some cute maxi dresses, printed sundresses, solid color lounge-around-in-the-house dresses—all part of my goal to be pretty without having to think about it. But part of my goal is also to be … [Continue reading...]
