It’s been a crazy-busy weekend. I spent all day yesterday at the Hannaford Kidz Expo. In fact, you can check out the KidsOutAndAbout.com Facebook Page for a picture of me and Debra Ross! We had SO much fun, and the very best part was meeting readers and folks I’ve known only through comments and emails. … [Read more…]
Yesterday I spent the morning in a frenzy of gathering leaves, running plastic play dishes through the dishwasher, and scrubbing down everything in the general vicinity of the playhouse to try to rid ourselves of whatever’s bugging J. Just as I finished up, the snow started swirling. When the girls arrived from school, they put … [Read more…]
I’ve been busy, and now I’m ready for bed. So here’s a collection of links that I’ve been stockpiling for a lazy posting day. Here’s an article from The New York Times called Effort to Restore Children’s Play Gains Momentum. Here’s a list of Ten Great Science Fiction Books for Girls. You can get free … [Read more…]
We’ve got Cute W’s parents visiting, and our schedule is packed with the normal activities that have become events because Grandma & Grandpa aren’t usually here. They both went along to J’s piano lesson this afternoon, so it was like a mini-recital. It’s conceivable that 2 to 4 of us will descend on the library … [Read more…]

I’ve realized that I need to get to work earlier on my weekly posts now that Downton Abbey is on again. I am simply to enraptured to multitask. Speaking of tv fun, last night we watched Crazy, Stupid, Love, and it was surprisingly sweet and enjoyable. Put it in the queue. Here’s what I’ve found … [Read more…]
I promise that this is my last alliterative title. I couldn’t help myself. We went to M’s first school orchestra and chorus concert. For the chorus portion she had a solo, and she did a great job. Poor J, who had seen the program as part of an assembly once already during the school day, … [Read more…]
Really, it’s impressive that I’m pulling this post out at all. We spent much of the afternoon and evening skiing, I sampled some delightful home-brewed home cider, and frankly? I’m pretty much ready to be sleeping. So I’ll ask in advance for you to forgive typos or missed items. And always don’t forget to check … [Read more…]
I’m not up for much today. I’ve had a series of technical difficulties, I still have a splitting headache, and in moments I plan to have a big slab of brie that’s softening on the coffee table. So, let’s throw this together quickly, shall we? If you’re thinking about joining a CSA, here’s a post … [Read more…]
Wow, what a gorgeous day today! I hope you managed to get out there. It was perfect weather for me to dismantle my Christmas wreath–I often leave that for months, because it’s best done outside (pine needles everywhere) and it’s usually too cold. I also managed to put away all the rest of my Christmas … [Read more…]
