A lazy night for me, which means some random links for you. Here’s a c. 2-minute-long film called “Sensory Overload” that offers insight into how autism feels. It’s an interesting exercise in empathy, although it’s likely to give you a headache. I found it via Andrew Sullivan. Stroller traffic offers a list of Ten Blog … [Read more…]
Holy scrumptiousness, Batman. Last night, Cute W and I had a date night. We went to see Wicked at Proctors. Remember? I was going to write a review? Here it is. Anyway, we decided to try something new: Tara Kitchen, which is a Moroccan restaurant located on Liberty Street between Jay Street and Yates Street. This … [Read more…]
Look! I told you that our Thankful Tree is better looking this year: I want to thank you for being “out there” today. I had a bit of a bad day–just many little things going wrong, plus a half day at school (always throws us off), technical difficulties, and a splitting headache. I just downed … [Read more…]
We’re headed to an Election Night Party, where my children will absolutely stay up way too late for a school night. But presidential elections only come around once every four years, right? Anyway, I’m making my Buffalo Chicken Dip and my Black Bean and Corn Dip. Also, I printed out a map of the United … [Read more…]

First, the KidsOutAndAbout.com newsletter for this week is available early–yay! Did you guys know about this forum tomorrow night? Here’s a quick quotation from the Times Union … [Read more…]
New Update: I’ve been adding new ones as I come across ones that I like. I’ve said a couple of times that I’ve been loving doing Zumba. It’s the only workout that makes me lose track of time because I’m enjoying it so much. Right now I go to a Monday night class with the … [Read more…]
Hey! Another 3-day weekend again already, huh? Guess which of the following I actually did today: A) Knocked into a railing and ripped my jeans on a previously undiscovered protruding nail. B) Closed the refrigerator on the egg carton, breaking an egg. C) Slammed down a window only to realize that an open bottle of … [Read more…]
Last night we saw Mary Poppins at Proctors–loved it. A full review is coming with this week’s KidsOutAndAbout newsletter. As you might expect, everyone’s sleepy this afternoon, and the non-stop weather gloom-fest isn’t helping. Both girls arrived home with math tests that weren’t bad, but weren’t 100%, either. Each girl wanted to review with me … [Read more…]
As I tuck her into bed Friday night, J asks, “Mom, can I please not go to the soccer game tomorrow?” I understand where J’s coming from, here. Monday to Friday is school, Sunday is church, and Saturdays, J is dragged along to M’s 8:30 am soccer game. Tomorrow it’s likely to be worse than … [Read more…]
