Cute W arrived home from work and asked, “What time are you going to your Snobby Book Group?” Uhhh. . . I’d forgotten about it entirely. Nevertheless, I’d read the book (Let the Great World Spin), and there’s always good food (tonight, homemade baklava by a mother of 4 boys under 6, not like you … [Read more…]
First, this weather is nutty. When the girls got home from school yesterday and today, it was glorious. Today J used chalk to draw yoga mats on our driveway and led us in a stretching class. We’ve decided that J and I should be in an advanced class while Cute W and M need to … [Read more…]

This week, I feel like I’ve just been puttering around, completely unproductive. Part of the problem is that I arrived home Tuesday night, so on Wednesday morning I was sleepy, unpacking, and in need of a grocery run. On Thursday morning I had an appointment that got cancelled, but instead of just moving on to … [Read more…]
I promise that this is my last alliterative title. I couldn’t help myself. We went to M’s first school orchestra and chorus concert. For the chorus portion she had a solo, and she did a great job. Poor J, who had seen the program as part of an assembly once already during the school day, … [Read more…]
I’ve been getting the KidsOutAndAbout.com newsletter ready tonight, but luckily I’ve got a big list of links that I’ve been meaning to share with you. All Over Albany has a post on The Snow Train to North Creek. I just love Glennon’s approach to dealing with tantrums over at Momastery. Seriously, I can’t look at … [Read more…]
