     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!

    Organization - I need it bad (and giveaway)! CLOSED

    Posted by Kristin Goecke on Tuesday, February 21, 2012, In : Give Aways 

    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...

    As a kid I fondly remember playing with LEGO® bricks. My older brother and I would spend hours building and creating our LEGO® villages then we'd spend lots of time playing in our made up towns, castles, space stations and more. I then got to see my younger brothers enjoy using our LEGO® sets.   Now, it's fun to watch my girls' imaginations take over as the create their play worlds. My parents have even saved all the LEGO® bricks that my b...
