We went to Disney on Ice last night. I took a few notes because at this point, I can’t help myself. There were a lot of charming costumes, including adorable starfish and other sea creatures for the Little Mermaid portion, and all sorts of skates designed to look like other things, like high heels or … [Read more…]
Yeah. Sorry. I was working on the newsletter for KidsOutAndAbout.com tonight while catching up on Parenthood episodes (I think Julia had my most likeable moment ever when she was sitting on the floor drinking wine and fretting that they’d “ruined” their daughter). Then, it was time to blog, and I had no ideas. Well, I … [Read more…]

Before the post, I just wanted to remind everyone that if you’re considering going down to New York City for Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, you should read my post from last year. Anyway. . .

Here’s another guest post, this from my Big Sister B! I was completely surprised and grateful when she sent it to me. Our mutual niece is the one who inspired my daughters’ devotion to Taylor Swift, and I’ve mentioned that I’m a fan, too. You can tell that my sister works in the apparel industry … [Read more…]
We went to the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus last night. An excellent time was had by all. So, first: I’m sticking with my recommendation to get there early, and I’m going to have to go with as close to one hour ahead as possible. By the time we were in the arena … [Read more…]
Those very kind people at Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus have shared some tickets with me so that I can share them with you. Hooray! I’m also excited because one of the things I tend to forget is the free events surrounding the whole circus brouhaha, like when the animals all parade from … [Read more…]
