We’ve been doing Farm Camp at Vinewood Acres for the first time this year. M went last week with some of her friends, and J’s going this week. The person who runs the camp is a kindergarten teacher, and most of the animals are rescued in one way or another. Like the brown horse, below, … [Read more…]

It’s worth it to go back and read all of the ideas that people shared about how to get kids eating more fruits and vegetable. Thanks to everyone for sharing their ideas, and thanks … [Read more…]
How convenient for me that All Over Albany just posted my little Camping with Kids piece so that I can slack off tonight. This is the second time I’ve been lucky today.

I’ve never been so happy to see rain. Everyone’s lawn turning to hay was getting so depressing. Yesterday when I shuffled out of bed, the girls sang, “Rain, rain, hip hooray! We’re gonna go see Brave today!’ They’d seen it while visiting their grandparents, but I still wanted to go, and I’d told them we … [Read more…]

Here’s a link from Free Range Kids about how moms created their own neighborhood camp. Sounds super-awesome, but I’m hoping that someone else in my neighborhood will do this and I can just cheer them on and boast to all of you about my glorious neighborhood (again).
