We Spent The Week At Cedar Point
Posted on August 16, 2019 in 2019 Summer Gift Guide Amusement Park Cedar Point
We really enjoyed our time at Cedar Point, this week. There’s so much to do, and our kids had a blast! We enjoy it, every time we visit Cedar Point. We stayed at Hotel Breakers, and enjoyed the beach, as well. The waves were high, but Jacob didn’t care, we went out in the lake, and had a good time. While Sarah, and my wife, sat on the beach to watch.
We started out slow, on the old time cars, and rode the train. We went to Forbidden Frontier and panned for gems, which the kids really loved! We walked and walked the park, until we couldn’t walk anymore. I went on the Maverick, with my daughter, which was a blast. The Gemini was another great ride. The Gate Keeper was fun too! Now I understand why Cedar Point is called, “The Roller Coaster Capital of the World”.
We sat and watched Vertical Impact, and it was amazing. Watching the dancers, athletes, and more. The show lasted about 25 minutes, and it gave us a break from walking through the park. My wife said her fitbit never saw so many steps!
We ate at Hugo’s, which is a little Italian restaurant that was fabulous. I had a Pepperoni Stromboli, and it was to die for. We even got special cups from a vendor, where we could get cheap refills our entire stay.
The beach was a blast, and all the fun games they had set up for Cedar Point Nights. The bands were excellent, too. We really enjoyed listening to the Rock Bands, which one played Jacob’s favorite song, “Living On A Prayer”. Listening to the music was great. We could even hear it in our hotel room.
You can’t stay at Cedar Point, without staying at Hotel Breakers. We really enjoyed our hotel stay, and ate at Perkins twice, and Starbucks, for coffee, as well. Domino’s delivered pizza to our room, in less than 20 minutes.
Welch’s is great for the daily snack
Posted on July 31, 2019 in 2019 Summer Gift Guide
We love Welch’s snacks in our home. My 8 year old can’t get enough, and my 22 year old devours them. My husband, and I, really like them too. They are healthy, and delicious. We’ve been snacking on them for years. And, they curve your craving for sweet stuff, as well.
The Welch’s Fruit Snacks are so healthy. They have real fruit juice in them, and a great source for energy. The Berries N Cherries is my favorite. They are super, and there’s a whole bunch of flavors. You need to try each and every one. We have. They are great for a mid-day snack, or even just an evening snack, before bed. Whenever you choose to eat Welch’s, you will love them too.
The Welch’s Fruit Rolls are so yummy. We buy these over other brands, because put simply, they taste better. Made with real fruit and super healthy. I will be sending these to school, with Jacob, once school starts. I can’t get enough of them, though. So, I’ll send them if there’s any left.
There’s also Welch’s Fruit N Yogurt Snacks. They are fabulous. I’ve been eating these for a while, too. I love the Yogurt taste! And, again, Fruit is the number 1 ingredient.
With Fruit being the Number 1 ingredient in all of Welch’s products, how can we not love them. I am hooked on all of the above products, and can’t wait to go to Walmart to pick up some more.

Posted on July 30, 2019 in 2019 Summer Gift Guide
We recently received a package from ZURUtoys, and it’s the best thing I’ve gotten all Summer. My 8 year old went crazy of the X-Shot Fast Fill water guns. He has had a blast, since he’s received the guns. His sister, age 22, is playing too. They go outside, and the guns are fast fill, in the pool.
We’ve loved Bunch o Balloons self sealing, rapid filling, water balloons, since last Summer, so getting these, was an added bonus. We took the hose and filled them up, and the kids had so much fun busting them on each other. There’s 100 balloons in each packet. That’s enough for some fun. We blew up 3 packages, and the kids even started throwing them at me, so I threw them back. It’s been the highlight of my Summer, playing with my kids outside.
KEY FEATURES:
• QUICK-FILL: Fill & Tie 100 Water Balloons in 60 Seconds
• NO MORE TYING: Self-Sealing Water Balloons
• SAFE TO ENVIRONMENT:Bunch O Balloons and O Ring are biodegradable and recyclable
• TOY OF THE YEAR: Award-Winning Outdoor Toy of the Year in both 2017 and 2018.
I don’t want to forget the Bunch O Balloons Rotten Egg Balloons. Those were fun for me, because I can’t smell. The kids enjoyed it too, but hey, they are weird.

Posted on July 22, 2019 in 2019 Book Tours 2019 Summer Gift Guide
The Missing Money is truly a great book. It’ll teach your kids about banking, and will help them to understand the concept. My 8 year old, Jacob, loves this book. And, my 22 year old, Sarah, who is going to school to be a teacher, can’t wait to implement this book in her classroom.

Kai, the little boy on the cover, will get ATM, bank, and armored truck all explained to him. Making it easier for you to explain to your young ones, so they understand. This book is great.

There’s A Monkey In My Backpack!
Posted on July 18, 2019 in 2019 Summer Gift Guide
My 22 year old, daughter, who is a student, becoming a teacher, just finished reading There’s A Monkey In My Backpack! by Don M. Winn, and loved it. She says she can’t wait to implement it, in the classroom, this Spring. She’ll be student teaching her final semester, and she says it’ll be good for the kids she is teaching.
I love the book, and read it to my son, who is going into the Third Grade, just like in the book. He really enjoyed reading it, as well.
I really can’t wait for Sarah to take it into the classroom, so the kids can hear this amazing story. See, Anna has a friend, that’s a Monkey; or does she? You will have to read the book to find out, I don’t want to give too much away. It’s a very interesting story, and I understood it, as well as my kids did. I get it, and I remember school, and having the same issues as Anna.
Anna has a problem! There’s a monkey who goes everywhere with her–even to school! He never leaves Anna alone. He makes so much trouble for her that she wonders if she will ever finish the third grade, but she learns that her monkey can give her some surprising help if she lets it.
