We have just completed what I believe might have been the best weather weekend ever.  I mean: gorgeous! Less gorgeous was yesterday’s post, with a variety of humiliating typos. I really was tired.  I think I fixed them all. Anyway, it’s our last day of school this week, so we’re shifting into summer.  Here are … [Read more…]
Hooray! The sun’s finally coming out! Good thing, because we’ve got a lot of outdoorsville happening at our house, and I was really beginning to freak out about it. 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…]
I’m crabby. The girls are harmoniously playing a game in which their doll named Kelly (acted out by M, and not to be confused with Barbie’s younger sister) is whining, complaining, and abusing the adorable kitten played by J. Even though it’s pretend, the whining & complaining is so realistic that it is actually just … [Read more…]

Man, oh man, was that a gorgeous holiday weekend or what?  We went to Moreau Lake State Park today, which I’ll tell you about tomorrow. But here are some things going on this week: Tuesday, June 1st: At 11 am, there’s a ribbon-cutting ceremony at Jerry Burrell Park in Schenectady. The playground was designed by … [Read more…]
Weekend’s over! After ranting on Friday and fretting on Saturday, we’re back to the weekly line up. There are also plenty of regularly scheduled events, and the weather’s looking pretty good, too. Yay. All Week From 3-4 pm each day, kids can help make a commercial for the Rensselaer Public Library‘s summer reading programs. Monday, … [Read more…]
Once again, plenty to do for kids and families in the beautiful, sunshiny, tulip-strewn Capital District! Here’s the weekend list, but as always, you can also check the Big Ol’ List for regularly scheduled events. Headed outside? Don’t forget that the farmers’ markets are all outside now; or take a hike or visit a playground … [Read more…]
So, there’s plenty to do, plus some more nice weather later this week. Currently I’m staying cool by sitting around with wet hair and eating yummy frozen mangoes. I’m ready for the thunder storm already! Oh–if you refresh a few times you might see a new picture of the girls and me at the Schenectady’s … [Read more…]
