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.

Lately, I've been looking around the homestead and noticing quite a bit of piles....paper piles, cookie piles (okay, we just got our Girl Scout shipments in to deliver), clothing piles, magazine piles, mail piles, and then I've got the piles of stuff hidden away in "junk drawers" and all the wayward items that somehow find their way to my basement or to my garage. I need help but I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed. I don't think I'm quite ready to be on a "Clean House" episode but I wish the "Or... Continue reading ...

My parents have even saved all the LEGO® bricks that my b... Continue reading ...
