    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 (giveaways now featured on our NEW giveaway page).

    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. 

    Thank you for viewing and for your support. 


    Cincy Chic featured me in their Chic Spotlight  (June 25, 2012).  You can also see my friend, Shannan Boyer, featured from Family Friendly Cincinnati in the post: "Big Fun for Little Ones".

    Magical - New Disney Store Opens in Kenwood.

    Posted by Kristin Goecke on Wednesday, August 31, 2011, In : Grand Openings 

    I got invited to attend the grand opening of the new Disney Store at the Kenwood Towne Center.  It's the only one in Ohio and has some great features to get imaginations going.  We started our tour of the store at 9am and Disney fans were already lining up for the "official" opening at 10am.  It was something to see - lots of Mouse ears and big smiles were in full force. 

    Lucky for us, we had two little girls on our tour and it was fun watching them as they entered the Disney Princess gazebo ...

    Posted by Kristin Goecke on Thursday, August 11, 2011, In : Mom to Mom 
    Summer is winding down and school is almost here (Woot Woot)! I don't know about you but I am ready to get back on a schedule and ready for my girls to not have so much together time (I seem to be in referee mode a lot these days). Of course with the end of summer, there's always a bit of sadness that comes with it - my girls are another year older and time seems to be kicking up its heels and going into speed drive.
