Sure, the conventional choice for a Memorial Day Weekend post might be an American flag, but instead I took a picture of what’s in front of me: Isis the cat. Lookin’ for some love while her human just wants to finish the blog post. It’s a little irritating, but not as irritating as sneaking rodents … [Read more…]
Is anybody else unbelievably chilly? It’s funny how what’s balmy in February suddenly seems quite unbearable when we’ve been spoiled by warm weather. So let’s think summer, okay?  Ready? (Oh, man, I am so ready!!) Free Concerts! Pack yourself a picnic dinner and enjoy the great outdoors. Even when the music doesn’t captivate them, there’s … [Read more…]
Once again, plenty to do for kids and families in the beautiful, sunshiny, tulip-strewn Capital District! Here’s the weekend list, but as always, you can also check the Big Ol’ List for regularly scheduled events. Headed outside? Don’t forget that the farmers’ markets are all outside now; or take a hike or visit a playground … [Read more…]
I’m feeling uninspired, writing-wise, so I’m going to slack off by sharing some links. First, because OK Go is headlining at Tulip Fest, I remembered their super-cool Rube Goldberg-inspired video. Didja ever see it? And in preparation for Mother’s Day I was looking for my Favorite Anna Quindlen Essay Ever. And while I was looking, … [Read more…]
So, there’s plenty to do, plus some more nice weather later this week. Currently I’m staying cool by sitting around with wet hair and eating yummy frozen mangoes. I’m ready for the thunder storm already! Oh–if you refresh a few times you might see a new picture of the girls and me at the Schenectady’s … [Read more…]
Phew! Tons of stuff to do this weekend again! And beautiful weather! Woo, hoo! If you like to use the Tulip Festival for photo ops with your adorable children, All Over Albany says to go now. The tulips are ready early. Maybe I’ll get a new header photo? It’s also Pottery Fest at the Shaker … [Read more…]
Wasn’t Saturday beautiful? The girls spent practically the entire day outside while W and I puttered–he had to finish his picnic table for the auction, and I washed windows and filed and did other boring tasks. There were some neighbor children around, but by far the most exciting attraction outdoors was the oh-so-close-to-us yard sale. … [Read more…]
Another week, another bunch of things to do. Don’t forget all those regularly scheduled events on What about TODAY? Monday, April 26th Get a free pretzel at Philly Soft Pretzel Factory in Clifton Park to celebrate National Pretzel Day (you know, before you go to your special pretzel party and exchange gifts and all. Hey, … [Read more…]
Hey! I’m having a splendid day! Check out this weather, you guys! Awesome! I woke up and noticed that my five-year-old had once again made her own bed and tidied up her room. Then I walked downstairs to find the two girls cuddling and giggling together on the couch. And then I laughed out loud … [Read more…]
At our house, the weekend went by way too fast. I’m mildly bitter about it, actually. I’m just in a crappy mood. The girls were treating me quite obnoxiously at dinner. And I have a raging headache. But enough about me! We’ve got the Riverway Storytelling Festival and Earth Day and all sorts of fun … [Read more…]
