I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed. Wednesday is my CSA pick-up day, and as you know, I’ve been getting tons of vegetables. Tons. I’ve been eating zucchini at least once a day (starting with those eggs) for weeks, Cute W made pickles, and I’ve been smuggling the unpopular yellow squash into meals. We’re putting in some … [Read more…]
Did you guys see that there’s a New York Times article about the US Water Ski Show Team that performs in Scotia? So cool for them, and a nice article, too! Plus, there’s a slideshow on the Times site as well. All Over Albany threw in an interview along with a link–read it here. People have … [Read more…]
The other night we had one of our favorites, yummy crepes. Cute W uses the recipe (called French Pancakes or Crepes) from JOY OF COOKING, that glorious cookbook that also explains the difference between various lettuces and teaches you how to skin a squirrel (with pictures)! I mean, how can you beat that? In one … [Read more…]
I did a quick stop this morning at Tiny Tots Tea Room, where they were getting ready for a Big Latch-On event. I thought that it would be the perfect place to ask people for additions to my old post on Favorite Breastfeeding Spots in the Capital District. In fact, I was thinking that maybe … [Read more…]
We went on a date on Wednesday! It was impressive, too, because instead of a movie-and-the-usual, we tried all new things. First, we went to Blue Spice in Clifton Park for some Thai food. (By the way, if you don’t take your kids out for ethnic food, read my old post in which I urge … [Read more…]
Little J is regressing a bit at night. Lately she’s been trying to climb into bed with us, so we’ve re-instituted the princess pull-out sofa bed right next to ours. I’m sort of hoping that just knowing that it’s there is comfort enough for her. She’s also been begging and pleading with me to breastfeed … [Read more…]
So, I’ve been adding updates to yesterday’s listings because I keep remembering things that I forgot. Sorry. So, check again if you’re looking for more fun, and feel free to add comments, because I’m not blowing your favorite activities off, I’m just. . . tired. Also, the TU’s Ballston Spa blog tells us you can … [Read more…]
Here was yesterday’s view from my window: That’s right: a new roof. Don’t you just love expensive home maintenance projects that, once they’re done, you can barely tell that anything happened? Except that now we won’t have random contractors ringing our doorbell and presenting us with shingles that have flown off our roof with a … [Read more…]
When thunderstorms scrapped our afternoon pool plans, I organized. Reorganized shoes in the closets, vacuumed, cleaned both bathrooms. The girls were pleased with a day of chilling out watching slightly too much tv, but they should have realized that any time I get organized, it doesn’t bode well for them. Sure enough, after dinner I … [Read more…]
I really needed a cool, rainy day. My house is unbelievably disorganized, so it was lovely to spend most of the afternoon at home, picking up clutter and moving it all to slightly more satisfactory locations. The girls even took it upon themselves to tidy up the basement playroom. Although the verb “tidy” is misleading, … [Read more…]
