10 Teen Approved Things to do in Toledo

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.

New York City Trip: Day 1 Ellis and Liberty Islands

July 19, 2025July 19, 2025momonthegoinholytoledo

If I can make it there, I’ll make it anywhere…. Since my kids were little, I had always dreamt of taking them to New York City! Mind you, I never thought I’d be doing it by myself and with four teenagers, but I have to admit I don’t think I’d have it any other way. Teenage years are perfect for a trip to the Big Apple. It’s fascinating what New York does to you. I walked into the city a bit fearful, insecure, lacking in self-esteem and confidence, and I came out of that city confident, secure in who I am, knowing my worth. My kids are fairly certain I must have been a New York Taxi Cab driver in another life, lol! I can’t wait to share our adventure with you!
