Those oh-so-helpful folks at All Over Albany shared that a bunch of videos are available from the recent TEDxAlbany event. I’m excited to check these local ones out, because I love me some TED Talks. Speaking of things I love, I also love Girl Power Books, so I was excited when Lisa Belkin over at … [Read more…]
Okay, I’m catching up a bit, and the holiday panic is subsiding. I’ve also been rummaging through my email, and I thought that I’d share some miscellaneous news items. Emack & Bolio’s in Albany wants to make sure that you all know that they do birthday parties. Candyland Activity & Enrichment Center in Schenectady is … [Read more…]
So the nice ladies at the Momxchange blog said all sorts of lovely things about me, which was too kind of them. You should check them out. Among other things, they are much more likely to notice things like shopping opportunities for mommies–as I’ve mentioned before, I am not a shopper.

The news from Haiti is so horrible. I thought that this site, which talks a little about how you can give most effectively when there’s a disaster far away, was … [Read more…]
So, I attempted to be useful while J was doing gymnastics today–both the girls are loving it, and the next session at World Class is starting next week. Incidentally, J’s little friend has decided to switch to dance and J said, “I’m a little sad that she is in retirement from gymnastics. We are very … [Read more…]
My girls were thrilled with Albany Winterfest yesterday. Loved the jugglers and trampoliners and fireworks, and they came home with prizes that were not nearly as crappy as what we usually get from, say, Chuck E.
