Yesterday I finally visited The Wonder Room. J signed up for their gingerbread-house-making session part of their Community Table Sampler series. They had plenty of fun supplies! In fact, they pretty much have plenty of fun supplies everywhere: the seasonal, the classics, the trendy. . . check, check, check. While J was crafting away, I was … [Read more…]
I was just chatting with another mom about how we’ve mentally and emotionally checked out of school. We’re done. It was so gorgeous outside tonight, and the girls were having such fun, again, that it just kills me to make them come inside and go to bed. Especially since there’s not too much actual learning … [Read more…]
While I was trolling for pictures of my firstborn’s snarled hair, I stumbled on bunches of photos from little games that I’d play with the girls when they were little, and I thought that they might help some folks out there with babies and toddlers while away the long not-exactly-winter. For a little while, we … [Read more…]
Here’s a guest post from Rose. She didn’t get around to sending one before I went to Disney, but she sent this along when I whined earlier in the week. In fact, I was lazy and didn’t even add the links. Thanks for letting me slack off, Rose! Most of the time, I concur with … [Read more…]
How cute is this? J decided to draw a “map” to plan her day the other morning. Sort of clockwise from lower left, that’s: Swing on tree swing Shop with mom at grocery store Lie down on bed Go to piano lesson (she climbs stairs up to the house) Jump rope Ride bike Read bedtime … [Read more…]
Alright, I don’t know where the heck I’ve been all summer, but today I finally discovered that there’s a new indoor playground in East Greenbush called MiMi’s Kids Club. Luckily for everyone involved, I figured it out mere hours before her gala make-your-own-sundaes Family Event tonight from 3-7 pm.  Who doesn’t enjoy some free ice … [Read more…]
Yeah, I know. It’s a lot of heat. You know it’s bad when you spend an inordinate amount of time on fan placement strategy. We have two window A/C units, and it’s not enough. For those of you who are new-ish to the blog, I thought that it might help to get you oriented with … [Read more…]
I had absolutely no Capital District Fun today. It was a bad, bad day. It was almost comically bad, like my recent car trip. So that I started taking pictures to document my intense lack of fun for your pleasure. But I’m too exhausted to go into the story. So that will be tomorrow’s post. … [Read more…]
I’m quite proud of myself because after barely managing to scrape together that playground list, I’ve written myself directions for the future. . . now I can update it in 13 easy-to-follow steps! Yay, me.  And 13 is my lucky number. So I’m just feeling good all over. I’ve also made it easier to find … [Read more…]
No, neither am I. It’s way too cold for me. But did you realize that, during the school year, places offer the opportunity for some overnight fun? The Children’s Museum of Science and Technology has camp-ins that cost $30/child and include activities, a planetarium show, a light snack, and breakfast. Individuals can come to a … [Read more…]
