Hooray for a break in the weather! This afternoon we took J’s first on-the-road bike ride around the neighborhood. She did great. In fact, the whole time I was wishing that I’d taken a camera with me, because she was so cute. She’s quite the style maven, and this afternoon she was wearing zebra-print flats … [Read more…]
Okay, anyone else feeling bitter about the rain? Of course last week, when my children were gone and I was hunched at the computer and/or doing housework, it was bee-yooo-teee-full. But now, with no camp whatsoever and plenty of time for the pool, it’s rainy and even chilly. I’m not ready. I’m not ready for … [Read more…]
. . . And all’s right in our little corner of the world. M loved camp. I drove to Wa Wa Segowea to get her while Cute W stayed local to get J off the bus from her daycamp. She gave me a hug, then pulled me by the hand around camp looking for her … [Read more…]
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…]
