The other night at Jujitsu, we were talking about Doctor Who and Power Rangers, and we were amazed that Power Rangers is very close to having as many episodes as The Doctor, and Power Ranges have been around less than half the time of Doctor Who! Doctor Who had 694 episodes from 1963-1989 and since 2005, there…
I have to be honest. A few weeks ago, when I saw the video circulating Facebook of the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge prank being played on a 14 year old autistic boy in Bay Village video, I couldn’t watch. Horrible acts like that tear too much at my heartstrings, and it was easier for me…
I love having an overabundance of coconut oil around the house, because we use it for everything. We cook with it, moisturize our skin, use it on cuts and burns, make toothpaste and so much more. It’s a great vitamin rich oil that is good for any occasion. I was excited to find Primal Essence…
Now that school has started back up, we all have a ton of things going on! For us, we have activities six nights out of the week. Between jujitsu and church, the only night we have absolutely free after school is Monday, and that’s usually set aside to get the bulk of homework done for…
It is that time of the year when thin bed sheets get replaced by comforters.

One of the biggest challenges that any new parent will face is the seemingly never-ending saga of how to keep their kid’s room warm during the cold winter months. What temperature should the room be? Should the kids be put to bed with extra clothes on? Should they invest in items that will keep them warm,…
Try telling a 15 year old, out of the blue, that you signed her up for jujitsu. Honestly, we didn’t give her a choice. It was one of those decisions where we know her better than she knows herself, and we knew that she’d love it. The new dojo is named Washi Bujutsu which means…
As a mother of a teen, I’ve already started to see signs of underage drinking rear it’s ugly face in our small community. My question to other moms is…. Have you talked with your teen about underage drinking lately? Our Teen is well aware of the affect it has on teen lives. Fortunately, she’s not…
The BTK kiddos started a new sport over the summer, and we’re so excited that they will be learning valuable life skills that will take them further than the fundamentals of baseball and basketball. The Gamer, Entertainer, and Teen are now training in the Martial Art of Jujitsu at a brand new local Dojo, and…
