M, who was shut out of Girl Scouts in kindergarten, has finally joined a troop. Actually, this marks the girls’ 3rd attempt at joining a troop (M tried one at another school for a bit, J tried this year, but it was way too huge a group for her). So much depends on the leaders, … [Read more…]
So, I had a few friends over, and I drank way too much wine, and then around about midnight, I sat down at the computer to write a post. And then, to my great joy and relief, I found out that several of my Disney World articles, complete with photos, are now available on KidsOutAndAbout.com! … [Read more…]
We’ve got our Christmas tree. We cut our own at Bob’s Trees this year. This was a departure for us–we’ve been to Ellm’s Family Farm for the past two years. And we do like Ellm’s (here’s the post from last year). But last year the choices seemed a little sparse, so we thought that we’d … [Read more…]

Thanks to everyone for your comments, especially the kind, polite, and funny ones. I really do appreciate hearing from you all. If you want to purchase tickets, remember that … [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…]
Yesterday I was running out of time for my grocery shopping trip, and I thought that I’d just go to ShopRite because it is closer to me than my regular big supermarkets. This was a stupid, stupid idea.Which I realized about five minutes into the excursion. I’ve been there so rarely that I spent way … [Read more…]
So, guess what? Disney On Ice is coming to the Times Union Center from December 7th to 11th with their show Mickey & Minnie’s Magical Journey. In Mickey & Minnie’s Magical Journey, the delightful mouse couple lead you on a journey through four Disney stories: The Little Mermaid, The Lion King, Peter Pan and Lilo … [Read more…]
Hey! I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. We spent yesterday with family, too, and we really enjoyed the weather. The grown-ups spent all day and into the night around an outdoor fire pit drinking wine and continuing to eat too much, while the cousins constructed a tree fort/pirate ship. Pretty ideal. Today I went … [Read more…]
We’re traveling to visit family for tomorrow and Friday. Then we’ll be back in town on Saturday, in time for me to be the judge at the Albany Institute of History & Art’s LEGO® Building Challenge. I might just slack off and completely skip posting for a few days. Unless I’m inspired. Tonight I’m decidedly … [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. . . While J was in Disney World, she fell in love. Like many great love stories, it came as a surprise. … [Read more…]
