LADIES OF MEDINA COUNTY, WHERE WOULD WE BE WITHOUT YOU? It is during May that we, as a country, celebrate mothers, grandmothers and great-grandmothers. But here at Medina County Lifestyle, we also want to recognize the other women who build our community and all of your roles as well. It takes a village to raise a child, and our village has women who are our children’s teachers, doctors, first responders, law enforcement officers, authors, entertainers, nurses, social workers, counselors and so much more.

Evenly sprinkle any remaining cinnamon-sugar over dough and set pan aside. 7. In a 2-quart saucepan, melt one cup of butter to make the sauce. 8. Add the brown sugar and heat to boiling over medium heat, stirring constantly. Boil for two minutes and then remove from heat. 9. Pour sauce over dough balls in pan. 10. Bake for about 22 to 26 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of one of the larger mounds of dough comes out clean. 11. Allow monkey bread to cool in pan for about 10 minutes. 12. Place a large plate over the top of the pan and invert to remove monkey bread from pan. 13. Optional: drizzle caramel sauce over monkey bread and serve! Recipe adapted from AverieCooks.com.

Whether you’re in search of an above-ground

or in-ground pool, they offer beautiful custom designs that begin with a simple click or call that is followed by an initial in-person consultation. During this initial consultation, everything from your pool dreams and ideas to your budget and property capabilities will be discussed. Best of all, there is no need to deal with multiple contractors for in-ground pool projects. Mr. Pools does it all: pool install, cement, fence, electric and gas. Amazingly, Mr. Pools’ construction process can be as short as seven days on in-ground pools, weather permitting. After the construction has been completed, the Mr. Pools team will teach you about the chemistry needed to operate and maintain your new pool, as well as give you free water testing at their retail location. All that will be left to do is enjoy your outdoor oasis. 2. SERVICES If you already have a pool or you’re in the market to get one, but you’re nervous about the upkeep, Mr. Pools has you covered. Their team of pool and spa experts offers a plethora of pool services to keep your outdoor oasis the way it should be – an oasis. Mr. Pools’ most popular services are spring openings and winter closings. In the spring, their team prepares your pool for a season of cannonballs and splash competitions. This service varies slightly based on whether you have an above-ground or in-ground pool but will ensure that your pool is safe, clean and ready for maximum enjoyment all summer long. At the end of the season, their professional winter closing will properly protect your pool and equipment from the harsh Ohio winter. Mr. Pools also offers pool vacuuming, chemical balancing, pool inspection, insurance claim and liner replacement services. Their service technicians can also service heaters, filters and salt systems. 3. POOL AND SPA PRODUCTS When it comes to creating your dream pool, Mr. Pools doesn’t construct your pool and say “sayonara.” Their retail location, Mr. Pools and More, is a mecca for all things pool and spa-related so that you have access to everything you need to maintain and enjoy your new pool. When it comes to maintenance, their store offers great prices on bromine and chlorine, pool vacuums, automatic pool cleaners, pool covers, net skimmers, water testing kits and so much more. Mr. Pools and More also sells fun pool accessories like slides, diving boards, water features and more. CityLifestyle.com/MedinaCounty
