Cute W worked late last night, so we slacked off, skipped the bedtime stories (in spite of their schedule), and watched the red carpet arrivals for the Oscars instead. This was the girls’ first encounter with the Oscars, and their questions and comments were pretty amusing. I said that I thought Jennifer Hudson looked great … [Read more…]
Phew! So much is going on this week. Here’s what I’ve found: All Week: Don’t forget that there’s plenty more going on at William K. Sanford (Colonie) Library and Albany Public Library.

Holy crap! Just when you were saying, please, somebody deliver me from this heat and rescue me from my sweaty, messy house, and just give me something besides the pool to do so that I can give the kids a break before their eyes turn permanently bloodshot and their hair turns green due to overchlorination, … [Read more…]

I am actively working on a restaurant post, so if you have suggestions for good places to take the whole family, I’d love to hear them. … [Read more…]
Well, okay. Maybe you can. I got a little carried away at the Greenmarket today. But, oh, the bountiful goodness! It all looked so fabulous that I had to take a picture. In fact, you can see M’s silly-banded wrist in the corner of the picture because I couldn’t get her to move any further … [Read more…]
