If you’re a mom of a toddler, you already know the truth: keeping up with their energy is a full-time job. Some days, it feels like all you want is a safe place where your little one can play, climb, and explore (without you worrying about them being run over by big kids) while you actually take a breath. That’s exactly what Waddles Playground offers! Toledo’s newest indoor play space is designed just for children 5 and under. It’s clean, calm, and full of fun, the kind of spot that feels like a lifesaver on long days when you need to get out of the house but also want somewhere stress-free.

Every so often, a place opens that just gets it right, the kind of spot where you walk in and immediately feel the buzz: warm lighting, easy chatter, the perfume of freshly ground beans, and a vibe that’s somehow both “ladies-who-brunch” and “heads-down, serious-work” at the same time. For Toledo, that place is House of Coffee.

Caring for a loved one with memory issues can be challenging. Whether it’s due to dementia, Alzheimer’s, or other conditions, memory loss affects more than just the person diagnosed. It touches the lives of family and friends as well.

Make Your Own Bath Bombs at Buff City Soap in Toledo

August 8, 2025momonthegoinholytoledo

“Awesome”, “the coolest”, & “surprisingly not too girly!”! So, what was supposed to be a “mommy & me” day with my youngest quickly became a sibling day once all three kiddos caught wind of what we had planned. And what exactly had we planned? To make bath bombs at Buff City Soap! The kiddos legit loved it! I was a bit shocked; even my tween boy had fun mixing up the bath bombs & his takeaway. It’s surprisingly not too girly! Yup, he had his reservations at first, but anything with the word “bomb” in it can’t be too girly, right?! Lol! Here’s how our awesome experience went down….

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!
