Road Trip Music
I seriously need YOUR help!! You, my musically intelligent and knowledgeable friends. Please, please help me educate my young’uns. We need the expertise that you have to share. We are leaving on Sunday for our “epic trip out west”. And I have not yet created a musical accompaniment. I need songs for every step of
Mondays are for Dreaming: Coney Island
This week’s Monday Dream is once again not my dream but more my daughter Chloe’s dream. Though I admit, this is one that, in some aspects, has much more appeal to me than returning to Disney once again. Chloe’s dream is to move to Brooklyn. Brooklyn! A strange choice for an eight year old born,
LEAF – 15 may 2011
Our last day at LEAF. Nice breakfast, good music, then packing up to go home….
LEAF – 14 may 2011
Chloe loves LEAF – zipline, hula hoops, bungee jumping, walk climbing and so much more …
LEAF – 13 may 2011
After my morning working at the hotel, I headed out and joined the rest of the family for a weekend at LEAF.
the panic starts to set in
I keep stumbling upon the realization that we are leaving for our epic trip out west in, now, nine days. NINE DAYS! Holy cow. While I did complete most of the planning a few weeks ago, I haven’t at all really thought about packing. I often don’t pack until the day before a trip, but
goats on the roof – 12 may 2011
We took the scenic route up to LEAF, stopping for lunch at Goats on the Roof. Not only goats on the roof but kids and chickens too. A touristy gimick, but fun nonetheless… My review on Trekaroo. My review on Yelp.
Photo Friday: Union Square in NYC
Last week while we were in NYC for Kindiefest, we had a late flight out on Monday, so we had a full day to wander around and take in the sights. After our trip to the top of the Empire State Building, I decided to surprise the girls with a trip to Forbidden Planet on
flowers – 11 may 2011
Our porch, with its new furniture and plants, was a wonderful place for us to hang out and work all week! Hopefully the weather will not get to hot yet and we can get another week of outdoor living before we have to retreat inside to the AC.
Thoughts: (Minor) Emergency at Ground Zero
A little over a week ago, the girls and I were planning out how to spend our final day in New York City. I had already taken them to a new museum (the Guggenheim), a new park (Central Park), a fun exhibit (the Harry Potter Exhibition, great concerts (Sirius/XM) old haunts (Times Square, Coney Island,

gazoo – 10 may 2011
Gazoo likes the new furniture and herb garden on the porch too. She seems to *really* like herbs in fact. I caught her eating dried lavender as though it were a special treat … ??
Too Much Computer
Ugh. By 8pm, I had had it. I had spend almost the entire day, save a trip to the store, on the computer. Not mindlessly web-surfing, mind you. Working, blogging, organizing, replying. Despite still having a long list of things that “have to get done”, I just can’t go on. The computers are going to
Travel Tuesday: Weekly Favorites for 10 May 2011
I’m still not caught up from our NYC adventures, but am already having to get ready for this weekend’s camping trip … I love what I’ve been reading out there on the web, and I’d love to share my highlights with you. Here are some of my favorites from the week: Toddler on Tour: All
lizard – 9 may 2011
Gazoo was acting a bit strange in the living room. When we went to see what she was up to, we found a lizard …. Camille moved the lizard outside to safety.
too much tuscan reading
Every couple of years, I lose myself in my fantasy books. No, not sci-fi. Not my thing. I lose myself in Peter Mayle, Frances Mayes and other “ex-pats” making new lives or “alternate lives” for themselves in places like Provence and Tuscany. This spring, I’ve read my stash of Peter and have almost gone through
porch furniture – 8 may 2011
The girls and I scrubbed all the pollen off the porch on Saturday, and I finally decided that I did want new porch furniture. So we headed out and bought some. Comfortable and looks nice too! Finally …
the yard – 7 may 2011
Today I spent half the day in the front yard at our yard sale. I love these purple flowers!!
camille – 6 may 2011
Camille has spent the week, well since we got back, working on her homeschooling. I hope she can finish up the year soon!
Are We There Yet?
No, we’re not on another trip. In fact, we are actually at home this weekend. Home for a yard sale, a “Room of the Week” and playing catch up/get ahead for the next rip. The question is in regards to the end of the school year. Are we there yet? For Chloe, this has been
