I’ve been a blog slacker because I’ve run out of my summer energy. Most of our camps and activities have ended and the pool is less crowded with friends. My kids are hanging around the house more, creating crafty projects and games that leave stuff all over the house, asking to sit on my lap … [Read more…]

While we were on one of our recent road trips, Cute W was fiddling with the radio stations, and he stumbled on Flo Rida’s Whistle. This pop song was new to him, and honestly, it’s catchy, until you notice the words. They begin, “Can you blow my whistle baby, whistle baby, let me know. Girl … [Read more…]
While I was in Rochester, I visited the Memorial Art Gallery. Let’s get this out of the way: I’m a sucker for an art museum. I love them, and I’ve found that, for a couple of hours at a time, my kids really love art museums, too. The MAG’s collection is extensive, with Ancient Egyptian, … [Read more…]
At 3 am last night, I heard movement in the hallway. Sounded like a typical trip to the bathroom. Except that it was unusually, fully, unbelievably dark in the house. No moon outside, no nightlight on in the bathroom. Why wasn’t the nightlight on in the bathroom? We keep a nightlight lit because when we … [Read more…]

We spent the morning doing back-to-school shopping. The girls were really excited to go. They each held onto their own lists and went exploring on their own, while I served merely as cart-side consultant and wallet. Honestly, the whole outing was fairly pleasant, but we ended up popping into a couple of stores, and I’m … [Read more…]
This is a guest post from Liz. She sometimes contributes to All Over Albany, and she blogs at The Good Eater. Thanks, Liz! When I go for a walk along the Niskayuna Trails with my son and husband, chances are we’ll see a deer before we see another person. That’s not a bad thing, but … [Read more…]

It’s raining. Really, pouring would be more accurate. We were happy to sit under the sunshade tent on the beach until the lightning started. Again. We arrived late on Saturday, and since Sunday it’s rained at least a bit each day. Today it’s been mostly rainy since 11 am. Luckily Cute W had checked the … [Read more…]
