Snow? SNOW!?! Are you freakin’ kidding me? I am so not ready for this. Okay, plenty going on this weekend. Almost all of it Halloween-y. In fact, I just went ahead and went through Monday so we’d have it all in one place.  If there’s something I didn’t catch, please feel free to add it into … [Read more…]
Alright, the truth is that we’ve been home almost two days already, but I’m finally “home” to the blog. Disney World was super fun and unbelievably exhausting. On our last night, children and adults were both practically nodding off into our dinners, and while the rest of our relatives left first thing in the morning, … [Read more…]
Here’s a guest post from June, my colleague at Kids Out and About. She occasionally (and it’s very occasionally lately–ahem!) writes a blog called My Name is June. I Like to Cook. She also wrote the post about making pancakes. Thanks, June! Do you order pizza on Halloween to scarf down while you pass out … [Read more…]
Here’s a guest post from Danielle, a mom of 2 in Schenectady. She writes on Examiner.com as the Albany Acting Examiner. Thanks, Danielle! Recently on Facebook, I read a comment on a friend’s thread asking if his current show, Spotlight Players’ The Producers, is okay to bring kids to. After discussing tap dancing Nazis, the … [Read more…]
Here’s a guest post from June, my colleague at Kids Out and About. She occasionally (and it’s very occasionally lately–ahem!) writes a blog called My Name is June. I Like to Cook. Thanks, June!

First, a collection of links for you. Here’s an All Over Albany post with comments recommending local pediatricians. I thought that if I said I was an organ donor on my driver’s license, that was enough. Wrong apparently. But you can fill out a form online. I just thought this Motherhood Uncensored post was funny. … [Read more…]
Here’s a guest post from Sandra from Albany Kid. Thanks, Sandra! Here’s a tip for Disney World that most tour guides won’t tell you. It was something I learned the hard way on our first family vacation at the Happiest Place on Earth. My family had gathered in Orlando, Florida to celebrate my oldest baby … [Read more…]

My name is Fazana and I am a stay-at-home mom to a creative and sensitive seven-year-old daughter and a spirited and active two-year-old son. I’m thrilled that Katie has given me the … [Read more…]
I think that this concludes the festive string of posts celebrating J’s birthday. This yummy pumpkin cheeseball could work for a grown-up party, too. We got the idea for it from the Southern Living Kids Cookbook, but J wanted to go with our much-loved family recipe for cheeseball. And then I decided that if there … [Read more…]
Besides freeze dancing and general running and squealing, we planned two activities for J’s party. Once again, they were both all J’s idea. First, she came up with Pin the Spider on the Web. We had a witch hat planned to assist in the blindfolding process, but it didn’t really happen. And each spider was … [Read more…]
