First, this weather is nutty. When the girls got home from school yesterday and today, it was glorious. Today J used chalk to draw yoga mats on our driveway and led us in a stretching class. We’ve decided that J and I should be in an advanced class while Cute W and M need to … [Read more…]
So, the Golden Globes wasn’t too long ago, and they just had the Screen Actors Guild Awards. But if, by chance, there were an award given to the Mommy Who Make Her Children Cry With The Least Possible Effort, well, I’d be a winner today. After school, both girls were doing homework when J went … [Read more…]
It’s cold enough that outdoor skating is available! I got an email today saying that there’s skating at Indian Meadows: The Town of Glenville skating rinks at Indian Meadows Park, 155 Droms Rd., are now open. Hours are sunrise to sunset, and when rink conditions allow, evening skating under the lights until 9PM. The rinks … [Read more…]
First, one quick note: Deb from KidsOutAndAbout.com is going to be on Tuesday’s noon news on Channel 13, WNYT, and one of the things she’s planning on talking about is favorite sledding hills. She made a survey, and we’d love help with filling it out. Even though I have the whole day to do it, … [Read more…]
Over the weekend, The Daily Gazette included a list of Schenectady County hikes. I compared it to my list of Family-Friendly Hikes and realized that I was missing some, so I updated the page for you. At the bottom I’ve also included a couple of my favorite local nature-appreciation blogs as well, just in case … [Read more…]
So, perhaps a bit more academic than pure fun, but I’ve put together a list of places that rent musical instruments in our area. It’s below, and it’s also included, now, in the Big Ol’ List of Links as well. I’m adding the section because I ran into troubles with my own attempts at renting … [Read more…]
Merry Christmas Eve! We’re enjoying a lazy Christmas Eve at our house. We even broke with tradition and went to see a movie. I’d always sort of scoffed at people who went to movies on Christmas Eve or Christmas, but come on, it’s The Muppets. Cute W and I are both big fans, and with … [Read more…]
I was tidying up my room last weekend, and I decided to make a clean sweep and clear away a mound of clutter. And by clutter I mean precious gifts from my beloved daughters. I know, I know: I’m a terrible person. But I’m going to say it, so just go ahead and judge me. … [Read more…]
M, who was shut out of Girl Scouts in kindergarten, has finally joined a troop. Actually, this marks the girls’ 3rd attempt at joining a troop (M tried one at another school for a bit, J tried this year, but it was way too huge a group for her). So much depends on the leaders, … [Read more…]
Yesterday I was running out of time for my grocery shopping trip, and I thought that I’d just go to ShopRite because it is closer to me than my regular big supermarkets. This was a stupid, stupid idea.Which I realized about five minutes into the excursion. I’ve been there so rarely that I spent way … [Read more…]
