Hey, my fellow Ohioans! My Buckeye Loving Peeps. My...well...I don't know any more cutesie little names to refer to you as. Basically, if you live in the NE Ohio area, this post is for YOU. 

Scene75, an international award winning family entertainment center, which was voted Best Family Entertainment Center in North America, is coming to Brunswick! This is a convenient drive from Cleveland, as well as from the Akron/Canton areas and everything in between. We'll just say it's NE Ohio friendly! 

This Ohio-born brand began in Southwest Ohio and is currently building their first location the Northeast Ohio area. The new site will feature an indoor electric go-kart, a two-story laser  tag arena, 4 food trucks, center bar, blacklight mini-golf, bumper cars, 4d theaters, 120 arcade games, inflatables, private party rooms, and much, much more.

While Scene75 is mostly known for its family-friendly fun, it is also known for a variety of community involvement efforts relating to education and more. Scene75 is a family-owned, family oriented, and proud to be a part of this community.

Recently, we were invited to an exclusive Media Only Event to check out all of the awesomeness that Scene75 will be bringing to the NE Ohio area. Keep reading to see tons of pics and learn more about what is sure to be the hottest thing in Brunswick! 

This past week, my husband celebrated a milestone birthday. He turned the big 4-0. (I'm dreading that number myself, I won't even lie.) Anyway, Dan didn't want anything super fancy for his big day. His request was a day in the yard, with the fam and a few friends. 

We set up speakers and had music playing, and the adults talked on the deck while the kids had a blast on their new splashtastic water attractions, courtesy of the awesome folks at Bestway H2OGO! 

Founded in 1994, Bestway specializes in the supply chain of inflatable sporting and leisure products. Bestway is committed to the development, production, and sales of high quality and innovative products to meet the needs of people from all walks of life. Their product range includes above ground pools and spas, inflatable air mattresses, inflatable boats and every day inflatable swimming products. There's literally something for every family, as well as any budget. 

In my household, we try to keep our diets as healthy as possible. We try to avoid eating too much "junk food". In fact, my kids actually prefer things like fresh fruits and veggies over prepackaged snack cakes, cookies, etc. 

That's right. My kiddos actually LIKE veggies. I tease them and tell them they're my little bunnies, and I'm the Mama Bunny. 

Anyway, we do our best to keep things as wholesome and natural in our home. From snacks to meals to a quick bite on the go, I try to make sure I have plenty of natural and organic options on hand. That's why we love, love, LOVE the freeze-dried fruits and veggies from Karen's Naturals! 

Now that summer is in full swing and travel plans have been made, there's one thing no family really plans for....

The "Summer Sickies". That's what we call summer illness, at least. 

There's nothing worse than being off at the beach, amusement park, or even Grandma's house, and hearing those dreaded words: "Moooom...I feel SICK." So while we never plan on encountering the Summer Sickies on our adventures, it is something we always try to be prepared for. 

That's why, in addition to our swimsuits, snacks, and other summer fun must-haves, I also pack some sensible things, like Manuka Honey and Aloe(for burns), Electrolyte drinks, and of course, our Exergen Smart Glow TemporalScanner™. 

The TemporalScanner™ is the easiest, simplest, least invasive way to get accurate temperature readings, even from the most squirmy, restless kiddos.
