     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.


    How to leave a comment on a post:

    If you'd like to leave a comment on a blog, please click on the title of the article you are reading, then scroll down and you'll find the place to leave the comment. 


    Thank you for viewing and for your support!

    I miss my NPR.

    Posted by Kristin Goecke on Sunday, June 27, 2010, In : Mom to Mom 
    When I was “gainfully employed” (I’m not sure why I had to add the gainfully but I’ve always heard that saying…..maybe it should’ve been “painfully employed” or “I need to work because I need the money employed”), I used to enjoy my commute to work. Why? I got to listen to NPR – National Public Radio. I loved my time with NPR.  I liked listening to Morning Edition on the way to work and hearing the familiar voices of Rene Montagne, Steve Inskeep, Carl Kassel and Frank De...

    eReach Big Deal Give Away

    Posted by Kristin Goecke on Wednesday, June 16, 2010, In : Give Aways 


    I've been getting the REACH savings magazine for years.  I actually read it cover to cover to see what great deals they have.   I always find a coupon that I can use and then I stow it in my car for future use.  Of course, I then have to remember to get it out and it's sometime difficult to remember all the great deals inside, but now with the eReach Big Deal, it's even easier for me to see some great deals.  Every day, I get an email telling me what today's Big Deal is.  If it's one that I'l...

    Summer Bucket List

    Posted by Kristin Goecke on Friday, June 4, 2010, In : What my kids like 


    We've got 6 days to go until summer vacation and even though I've got the girls signed up for some summer camps & VBS's (thank you Deerfield  Township, Whole Foods Market, MAD Camp, & King of Kings), I thought it would be fun for the girls to list three things they'd like to do over summer break. K was so excited, she loves making lists and crossing them off.  The girls wanted us to do the list too so here's our s...
