Sledding Hills Guide for Toledo & Surrounding Area

November 30, 2025November 30, 2025momonthegoinholytoledo

Flat! That’s the one word that best describes the terrain in NW Ohio & Southeast Michigan, which is totally fine unless it snows & kiddos want to go sledding.

But let’s be honest, if you’re not a local these hills are tough to find. So here’s a list of some popular snow hills the locals in NW Ohio & SE Michigan frequent with their kiddos…

10 Magical Events to Attend with Kids Christmas 2025 in Toledo

November 9, 2025November 15, 2025momonthegoinholytoledo

It’s funny, I couldn’t tell you what I wore the Christmas of 1990 (I’m sure it was a gorgeous dress that matched my siblings and we all looked adorable Mom), or what gifts I opened from under the tree, or even if we had snow that year. What I do remember is sipping hot chocolate as we walked through the zoo at night (that in itself is pretty cool to kids) in wonderment at the Lights before Christmas with close family friends, rushing ahead of my parents in awe of the Christmas magic at Children’s Wonderland, touring the over the top decorations at Holidays in the Manor House with my grandparents, seeing the classic, A Christmas Carol, & watching the joy on my father’s face as he recited lines as we watched the classic, It’s a Wonderful Life. That’s the thing about Christmas; it really isn’t about the perfect gift it’s about the time spent with loved ones. So this Christmas let’s focus less on the number of goods under the tree and more on the quality of time spent making childhood memories that our children will cherish for a lifetime.

August 7, 2025August 7, 2025momonthegoinholytoledo

Being a teenager is “hard”, “the worst”, ” brutal”, etc., to say the least!! And truth be told, raising a teenager isn’t much different than raising a toddler. And as a parent, raising a toddler, I mean, a teenager, you will be met with much resistance when it comes to activities. Here’s the thing: that resistance is their insecurities manifesting and projecting. Is it safer to just stay at home on their device? Sure. But that doesn’t help them become the person they are meant to be. As parents, we need to encourage and, at times, push them outside of their comfort zone.
