We have a new addition in our kitchen–it’s this stool. They had one sort of like it at our local Bed, Bath, and Beyond, but it was shorter than this one–too short, really. This one’s 11 inches tall. The girls have been getting more independent in the kitchen (like J making her own cheesy eggs). … [Read more…]
We visited Roseland Water Park, located in Canandaigua, on our way home from Rochester. The park offers plenty of active fun in an environment that’s calm enough to be low stress for the parents. We had hours of fun, and it was really only a couple of hours into it that I realized that the … [Read more…]

There are two big pieces of local museum news, both excellent for all of us who like to find fun and cool things to do in the Capital District. First, the New York State Museum will once again be open on Sundays! Yippee! Some of you may recall that the museum was had to close … [Read more…]
I’ve been a blog slacker because I’ve run out of my summer energy. Most of our camps and activities have ended and the pool is less crowded with friends. My kids are hanging around the house more, creating crafty projects and games that leave stuff all over the house, asking to sit on my lap … [Read more…]

While we were on one of our recent road trips, Cute W was fiddling with the radio stations, and he stumbled on Flo Rida’s Whistle. This pop song was new to him, and honestly, it’s catchy, until you notice the words. They begin, “Can you blow my whistle baby, whistle baby, let me know. Girl … [Read more…]
While I was in Rochester, I visited the Memorial Art Gallery. Let’s get this out of the way: I’m a sucker for an art museum. I love them, and I’ve found that, for a couple of hours at a time, my kids really love art museums, too. The MAG’s collection is extensive, with Ancient Egyptian, … [Read more…]
At 3 am last night, I heard movement in the hallway. Sounded like a typical trip to the bathroom. Except that it was unusually, fully, unbelievably dark in the house. No moon outside, no nightlight on in the bathroom. Why wasn’t the nightlight on in the bathroom? We keep a nightlight lit because when we … [Read more…]
I’ve been working on a post way too long and it’s still not ready. And you know Cute W’s not around, so I’d like to just knock off and catch a chick flick, thank you very much. So I’m going to slack off and share a post that’s been waiting to be published forever. I … [Read more…]
