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!

Really....does one foot have to be bigger than the other?

Posted by Kristin Goecke on Monday, October 25, 2010, In : Woe Is Me!

Yesterday, I headed up to Columbus to attend a friend's baby shower. Always a happy occasion to celebrate new beginnings and new babes (they are adopting twins - yippie). It also gave me a chance to break free from from my typical jeans and t-shirt attire. It was so nice to reconnect with friends that I hadn't seen in so long. Has it really been 20 years since college? It doesn't seem like that is possible. Time just keeps on ticking. Go Ohio University Bobcats.

Some of the guests were i...

Support the Mason City Schools - Vote Early

Posted by Kristin Goecke on Tuesday, October 12, 2010, In : Vote Early

Today I exercised my right to vote. I voted early and on my own time. I headed up to the Warren County Board of Elections in Lebanon and cast my ballot for the upcoming 2010 General Election. It was so easy and it was fast. It was also fun since I went with some of my new friends from the Mason School Levy campaign.

Why did I do this? I wanted to make sure my vote was counted. Every yes vote we get for the Mason City School levy is a step forward to insuring the quality education we hav...

A Day Unplanned.....

Nisbet Park, Loveland, Ohio

All my friends know I'm a planner. I like to plan our family outings and since summer is over, our family outing time has been reduced significantly. October is my favorite month for things to do. There are so many fun festivals and Halloween events. I still have so many things to add to the monthly top picks calendar page and I hope I find the time since I want to get all the great things to do listed. Now, the only teeny tiny problem I have is that I know a...
