 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.

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.

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.

Woe Is Me!
Turning 40 is a BIG deal but surviving riding Firehawk is even bigger. I had no idea what I was getting myself into when I asked my friend, LP, to go with me to Kings Island last week. Kids in school? Check! Beautiful day with no humidity? Check! Moms ready to ride? Check! No lines? Priceless. Kings Island and I go way way back. I fondly remember the days when I would don that oh so flattering Bavarian frock and joyously serve park patrons puff pastry, cotton candy and funnel cakes. It was... Continue reading ...

Woe Is Me!
Our arrival for the tour - happy now, not so much later. :(

Like many of you, you may be getting your children prepared – giving them pep talks, purchasing school supplies and new clothes, setting up new rules or remembering old ones, and getting them organized (ok, who am I kidding getting me organized). Part of our back to sch... Continue reading ...

This was part of the Sesame Street DisplayWe're finally back from a two week hiatus – we visited Central New York's Finger Lake Region for our annual family adventure. I love it there since I have so many fond childhood memories revolving around Owasco Lake and visiting my grandma in Auburn, NY. Returning as an adult, I get to relive the fun through my girls. Seeing them joyously jump into the lake no matter how cold it is takes me back to... Continue reading ...
