Happy Halloween, everybody! We ended up skipping out on an after school Halloween party because the girls were freakishly tired. Instead, they stayed home and practiced piano/cello and then vegged out in front of the tv. By early evening the prospect of candy re-invigorated them. Just as we were going out, M asked for eye … [Read more…]
It’s been a little insane this weekend. Last night J had a friend over and M was at a sleepover. This morning M had a soccer game, and I knew it would be unbelievably cold, so I scheduled a make-up gymnastics class for J, so we had a good excuse to miss soccer. Between the … [Read more…]
Okay, this whole Disney trip is quite a bit to process, really. We were there a full week and we did a good two-thirds, at least, of each of the four major parks. One thing that most of us didn’t do was go to Downtown Disney. You know I’m not a shopper, and any pre-departure … [Read more…]
 Snow? SNOW!?! Are you freakin’ kidding me? I am so not ready for this. Okay, plenty going on this weekend. Almost all of it Halloween-y. In fact, I just went ahead and went through Monday so we’d have it all in one place.  If there’s something I didn’t catch, please feel free to add it into … [Read more…]
Alright, the truth is that we’ve been home almost two days already, but I’m finally “home” to the blog. Disney World was super fun and unbelievably exhausting. On our last night, children and adults were both practically nodding off into our dinners, and while the rest of our relatives left first thing in the morning, … [Read more…]
Here’s a guest post from June, my colleague at Kids Out and About. She occasionally (and it’s very occasionally lately–ahem!) writes a blog called My Name is June. I Like to Cook. She also wrote the post about making pancakes. Thanks, June! Do you order pizza on Halloween to scarf down while you pass out … [Read more…]
Here’s a guest post from Danielle, a mom of 2 in Schenectady. She writes on Examiner.com as the Albany Acting Examiner. Thanks, Danielle! Recently on Facebook, I read a comment on a friend’s thread asking if his current show, Spotlight Players’ The Producers, is okay to bring kids to. After discussing tap dancing Nazis, the … [Read more…]
Here’s a guest post from June, my colleague at Kids Out and About. She occasionally (and it’s very occasionally lately–ahem!) writes a blog called My Name is June. I Like to Cook. Thanks, June! Last Sunday Hannah and I decided to make pancakes for breakfast. Now this is not a rare occurrence; we make pancakes … [Read more…]
First, a collection of links for you. Here’s an All Over Albany post with comments recommending local pediatricians. I thought that if I said I was an organ donor on my driver’s license, that was enough. Wrong apparently. But you can fill out a form online. I just thought this Motherhood Uncensored post was funny. … [Read more…]
Here’s a guest post from Sandra from Albany Kid. Thanks, Sandra! Here’s a tip for Disney World that most tour guides won’t tell you. It was something I learned the hard way on our first family vacation at the Happiest Place on Earth. My family had gathered in Orlando, Florida to celebrate my oldest baby … [Read more…]
