Kingston Plantation, Myrtle Beach
A couple of months ago, I had the irresistible urge to get to the ocean. This seems to happen every year in the winter. I must get to a place where I can see the sun rise over the horizon, hear the waves and feel the sand. It doesn’t matter if the ocean temperature is
free range kids
I haven’t (yet) read the book Free-Range Kids: Giving Our Children the Freedom We Had Without Going Nuts with Worry by Lenore Skenazy, but it is intruiging…the idea that kids should be given a lot more freedom to wander than they are. Much of the time, I don’t give my kids as much freedom as
Where in the World?
Wow, I haven’t done much here in the past couple of weeks. Lots of deadlines at work plus lots of travel have left me scurrying to catch up on all of my various projects. In the past couple of weeks we have been to NYC, DC, Spain, Germany, France, Luxembourg (in fact, just the EU

Rainy Day in Brooklyn
I woke up early on Sunday and tried to catch up on all the videos and photos I had taken on Saturday. But by 11am, the kids were still asleep and I was more than ready to get out of the hotel and do something. Unfortunately, the drizzle turned to rain…we found breakfast (the girls

For the third year in a row (2007 and 2008), we headed to Brooklyn to the gathering of the “kindie” music scene, now called now called kindiefest. What fun it was to see so many of our favorite musicians and our online friends all gathered in one spot! The girls got the chance to participate

Photos by Gazoo
The girls read about a pet collar cam a while back, and I promised them to look into it. I found only one, offered on various sites, and the reviews were quite mixed. I bought it knowing that it could break on first wearing — it is not waterproof. It arrived in our mailbox (no

geocache mission
Fort Mountain was our address this weekend. The “Trading Post” had wifi, but in the so-called “cottages” I could barely squeak an Edge connection on my phone. More on our weekend later this week…. As we were leaving, my parents pulled up to the cottage with a plan. Not quite fully formed, but a plan.
