I’ve been collecting links to share. And I’m too lazy to write. So, here’s what I’ve got: I thought that saying I’m an organ donor on my driver’s license was enough, but apparently it’s not. So here’s a form for New Yorkers to fill out to register as organ donors. I thought that this video, … [Read more…]
I don’t know exactly how it’s happened, but the four of us are all here watching New Year’s Rockin’ Eve. I was too passive. It honestly didn’t occur to me that the girls would stay up until midnight. When we’re home, we head upstairs early. Like, 8:30 pm is late for them. But since it … [Read more…]
Although I talk a good game, offering all sorts of ideas for having fun throughout the week, we’ve been slobs at our house. There’s been pajama wearing past noon, lots of reading Harry Potter, constructing Star Wars Legos, and general slobbing about. Yesterday I took the girls to Barnes & Noble, where they managed to … [Read more…]

Christmas dinner is traditional with my family, with potato leek soup to start, steak with a sauce that takes 2 days to prepare, and my beloved broccoli-stuffed tomatoes. … [Read more…]

And then, to my great joy and relief, I found out that several of my Disney World articles, complete with photos, are now available on KidsOutAndAbout.com! … [Read more…]

We’ve had a low-key weekend. I had a (desperately-needed) girls’ night out on Friday. Today we lounged, and our only outing was to M’s soccer game. This was her third game with this team, and each game they’ve gotten their butts’ kicked, but slightly less than last time. Today’s loss of 5 to 1 felt … [Read more…]
Long night. Here’s what I’ve got: All Week: The new Clifton Park Stadium 10 Cinema is celebrating their grand opening this weekend with a variety of showings, many of them family-friendly. Tickets and refreshments are $2, and proceeds go to charity. Les Miserables School Edition, performed entirely by students, is at Cohoes Music Hall beginning … [Read more…]
Last night I said that I’d love to hear about volunteer efforts in the Capital District, and the folks at All Over Albany have some suggestions here. Also, Matt Baumgartner of Friday Puppy/Bombers/Biergarten fame, is asking for donations to help out Jumpin’ Jacks. Oh, and I forgot: I meant to link to DelSo, who just … [Read more…]
