 Hi, welcome to MasonMetu, from Me to You. I love living in Mason, Ohio /Deerfield Township, Warren County and the Greater Cincinnati area since it has so much to offer for families. I hope MasonMetu will be a a one-stop, easy to use resource to find family-friendly activities and adventures you can embark upon. You can start at MasonMetu Home for info on what MasonMetu is all about. You can even do some shopping in the MasonMetu Marketplace.

Note: If you pull up a recent blog post, you'll need to scroll down to the bottom of this page to read it - it is a snafu in the programming that this untrained web Mom can't quite figure out....yet.

MasonMetu™ Blog
Here you’ll find my blog where I write about some of my own experiences as a Mom as well as post some awesome giveaways. I’ll highlight certain features of MasonMetu that you might like to check out.
Thank you for reading my blog posts. I hope you can laugh along with me, preferably not at me. :) I've had fun writing the posts and I've found it is a great way to journal moments in our lives. One day when my girls are older, I'll be able to share these posts with them.
On some browsers (Internet Explorer), you may need to click on the current blog post in order to see the ghosts of blogs past - then it opens back up into the main blog page and you have to scroll down again for all the posts. I know it's a bit confusing but I'm not quite sure how to work that bug out of the system yet.

| Mason, Ohio |
I've been happily married to Chris since 1995 and I'm currently a stay at home Mom to two girls, K & S and we have a chocolate lab, Bailey. I have a M.A. in Hearing & Speech Sciences from Ohio University (1994), a B.S. from O.U (1992), & I graduated from Middletown High School (1988). I have one older brother, and two younger brothers. We grew up in Jamestown and Olean, NY then moved to Middletown in 1986. I'm close to my parents,a.k.a Cici & Pee-Paw, and do lots of FOD's with them (see tab for more details). I enjoy reading, blogging, watching all my shows and spending time with friends and family.

“I feel pretty. Oh so pretty. I feel pretty and witty and bright!” - Music by Leonard Bernstein, lyrics by Stephen Sondheim.
It’s not often that I feel great about myself. These days my lack of resolution keeping, lack of working out, lack of keeping up with the laundry, lack of enjoying cooking, lack of sleep, lack of energy and just being a bit lacksidasical (had to spell check this one) leaves me with a bit of a doom and gloom perspective. Have I lost any readers yet? BUT…….wh... Continue reading ...
I know many of you are in a panic about you or your kids getting H1N1 or as the media has dubbed it, “swine flu”. To vaccinate or not to vaccinate is the question for many but after talking to my kids’ pediatricians, reading more about the vaccine and hearing more about the ramifications if you get hit hard by the swine flu, I’ve decided that the vaccine is the best way to go for our family. Of course, now that I’ve made this decision we are left, as many of you are, in limbo sinc... Continue reading ...
Okay, I'm busted. Yes, I have not kept most of my "resolutions" I made in my blog post on, " Back to School Blues....Nah....maybe" but at least I admit it. Case in point: Resolution Number 4: "Workout 2 days per week – this may seem like an easy goal to strive for but for me it is AGONY…..We are paying for a membership at Lifetime Fitness so I really need to start utilizing it more. Since they don’t have a LL (lower-level) membership for the pool, spa, and café, I really need to make i... Continue reading ...

Woe Is Me!
I thought technology was supposed to make our lives easier? I’m really questioning that now since my digital camera is a part of me. I almost feel naked if I leave home without it. I should holster it so I know that it’s always within easy reach. Ahhhhhh, it’s madness I say, MADNESS!!!! I am now part of what I like to call, “The Parent Paparazzi” (TPP) – you know you’re out there, don’t make me feel like I’m the only crazy one snapping pictures like my kids are at a photo...

You know your social life is down in the dumps when your parents are telling you about the “hot spots” downtown and are actually going to some of them. My parents, moved to downtown Cincy over 2 years ago and they have never looked back. In fact, I sometimes have trouble looking for them due to their over abundant social calendar. I guess they paid their dues raising four children and all that entails. My parents will tell me, “we saw this great play last night”, “we went to hap... Continue reading ...

Thank you!
 "I'm sooooooooooooooo excited, I just can't hide it"......okay, you know when I start singing the Pointer Sisters that something is going on. I wanted to let everyone know about a great new family-friendly website called Family Friendly Cincinnati. It is an awesome resource and gives you even more recommendations on fun things to do with your family. The best part is that it's comprised of a wide variety of women who all have their own unique styles and perspectives and since we all live i...
