Hey, I realized that I’ve done more than 100 posts now! Yay, me. Actually, I’ve been a little bit bummed because after steadily climbing in readership for a while, I’ve leveled off in the last couple of weeks. It’s true that I haven’t been very good about passing around those cute cards, which would help, … [Read more…]
No, neither am I. It’s way too cold for me. But did you realize that, during the school year, places offer the opportunity for some overnight fun? The Children’s Museum of Science and Technology has camp-ins that cost $30/child and include activities, a planetarium show, a light snack, and breakfast. Individuals can come to a … [Read more…]
So, weather.com says that we’re going to possibly hit 50 on Wednesday! Woo, hoo!  We are so getting outside. I wish that I were with-it enough to provide you with a list of playgrounds and a constantly-updated snow-meltedness index. Maybe that will be the next big project? Umm, yeah. Do you see this? Clearly, I … [Read more…]
We spent Friday night at my sister’s. I always say that if I had three times as much money and ten times as much personal style and I didn’t have children running my house, I’d have a house just like hers. Everything is carefully chosen and beautiful. But I have to say, we did provide … [Read more…]
Friday was just one of those days for me. It started with the morning bike ride, which turned out to be too cold. Also, how discouraging do you think it is that my 5-year-old questions my ability to find her nursery school? I have a tremendously poor sense of direction (which, if you’ve read the … [Read more…]
It looks like the weather is going to be pretty good, too. Although, in case you’re wondering, it turns out that it was a little bit too chilly to bike to nursery school this morning, which we discovered mid-bike ride. Don’t forget that Rumpelstiltskin and The Little Mermaid are playing this weekend–for details, check out … [Read more…]
That’s right, baby! All of those seasonal fried-food-and-ice-cream places are gearing up! Bring it. . . . b-r-i-n-g. . . i-t! The Control Tower on Route 7 opens Monday, March 15th. Although I resent the new go carts and high prices, I love me a Chicken Caesar Wrap. Kurver Kreme on Central Avenue opens Monday, … [Read more…]
J and I went on our first bike ride of the season yesterday. We used our fabulous Trail-Gator.  Oh, Trail-Gator! How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. You bring all of the joy of “real” bike riding–the speed, the wind in the hair, the ability to easily ride in figure eights–to my … [Read more…]
This morning, I went to the New York State Museum all by myself. I know, I know: kids love it. A wonderful family destination. But last time I went, it was with the kids and the husband and my parents, and there just wasn’t time to look at everything. Specifically, the 1609 exhibition, in honor … [Read more…]
Please don’t judge me. I almost didn’t find the courage to share this. I am about to inflict pesticide-ridden strawberries on a whole group of innocent, cherubic, nursery-school children. I am the helper at our co-op nursery school on Wednesday, and J requested strawberries. Repeatedly. Today I went grocery shopping, and there weren’t any organic … [Read more…]
