I used to travel.
I used to board airplanes and sit for hours and hours because it was the only way to get to the other side of the world.
I used to walk into the homes of people whom I...
If you know me, you know I was not here for “hot-girl-summer” (which was really the summer of bug spray and anti-chafing products, am I right?) and come November, I’ll be full-on Grinch-Mom. I don’t hate things just to...
I love all of the Ohio seasons. While some may argue say that winter lasts too long in Ohio, I think the longevity only makes Spring and Summer that much sweeter. With the warmer temperatures, I'm starting to plan...
Our plans fell through.
We had booked and paid for a cute little cabin in the mountains of NC for our first time away from our kiddos (kiddos are 7 and 4, and I know this trip was far overdue).
Bargaining...
Last year my husband and I had a unique opportunity to go on the vacation of a lifetime. We had two free roundtrip airfare to anywhere in the world! We had all the googly eyes. We were scouring the...
If you've been following DMC for a while now, you know that we join a bunch of other Sister Sites across the region for a special Mom Collective event each year down in Pigeon Forge, TN at Dollywood! This...

Any mother of young children can empathize in public restrooms when it comes to hand washing. Between lifting tiny humans to reach the faucet, growing an extra arm to also assist, and then conquering the dreaded drying step. We...
We’re always looking for new things to do as a family, especially in the summer when the kids are all home. We need time out of our house without breaking the bank. We are truly lucky in the Miami...
Gas is cheap. School is not in session. Spring is in the air. Sounds like a recipe for a family road trip. Right?! Wrong! It’s COVID-19 season and we can’t go anywhere... but can we?
My parents live in Cincinnati...
Recently, we went on our first beach vacation as a family of five. I absolutely love the ocean and have waited (not so very) patiently over the last six years to share that love with our girls. But road...
Traveling with kids is hard. But, so incredibly worth it. I am currently living in South Korea with my husband and our three daughters, aged 3 and under. The journey to get here from Dayton, Ohio was a whopping...
