Adventure Boot Camp for Women – Two Weeks To Go

KarenE — Mon, 14 May 2012 11:45:17 +0000

Well, two weeks are in the books for my Adventure Bootcamp for Women course at KidsFirst in Blue Ash. (There’s also an Oakley, Anderson and Bridgetown location.). Finished. Done. How’s it gone? Just like I was advised, week one was very very hard. I was tired, sore and felt like I was just barely getting the job done. [...]

KarenE — Wed, 02 May 2012 11:45:12 +0000

Do you like to go on drives? I love to go on a drive and my husband knows it. Give me a long afternoon with nothing on the agenda and ask me if I want to go on a drive and the answer will always be, “Oh yeah!”. With the addition of two kids into [...]

Boot Camp for Women – Have I Lost My Mind?

KarenE — Sun, 29 Apr 2012 11:45:04 +0000

I really do think I’ve lost my ever loving mind. I’ve gone and done something very none Karen like. Tomorrow morning, for one of the few times in my life (other than when my babies were tiny), I’m setting my alarm clock for 4:30 so that I’ll be AWAKE and ready to start my Adventure [...]

Do you go to the Cincinnati Art Museum with your kids? Well, you should. It’s fantabulous and it’s free. Well, almost free, you do have to pay $4 for parking, but that’s still the deal of a lifetime. We go a few times a year to check out what’s new, what’s old and what we [...]

Perfect Parks: Francis RecreAcres Park in Symmes Township

KarenE — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 12:45:11 +0000

My family loves going to a park. We like to travel around the city to try out new parks and to just explore. We do this all year long. We really take the one hour of outside activity to heart. If you happen to be driving past a park and see some crazy adults and [...]

Let Your Kids Climb the Walls Safely at Rock Quest

KarenE — Wed, 04 Jan 2012 12:30:14 +0000

As we found out on Monday, winter is here. When it’s too cold to get outside with your kids and they’re starting to climb the walls and wearing your patience, it’s good to have something fun and exerting for them to do ready to be pulled out of your back pocket. We lucked out this [...]

A&M Apple Orchard

KarenE — Mon, 17 Oct 2011 11:30:11 +0000

I love going on long car rides in the country – looking at new things and checking out the sights. Last weekend we decided we needed to get out and enjoy the gorgeous weather and also get some apples. Because really, what’s Fall without some apples and apple cider? We headed out a bit north [...]
