photo friday: sirius/xm in NYC
As with our past few trips to NYC for Kindiefest, this latest trip also included a long evening of seriously great kindie music at my happy place — well, not my true happy place, as that’s XM in DC, but a good second to it.
live in concert: gustafer yellowgold
I do wish this could be the case more often. It is simply lovely to walk from our condo over to the square for a kids’ concert. Especially a concert for a musician whom we’ve known for so long and simply adore. As always, we had s wonderful time being a part of the audience

At one time the girls and I were going to dozens of kindie concerts a year, traveling long distances to get to them. In the past year, we’ve been to only a handful. Between school, gymnastics and finances, we haven’t been able to get around nearly as much as we used to. Thus, when kindie

Back in October, the girls and I headed to Texas for the weekend for our annual pilgrimage to the Austin City Limits Music Festival. When we first started going, it was solely for the kids’ stage, Austin Kiddie Limits. The children’s area has grown through the years, and we still love hanging out there early

Our friend Charlie Hope is on tour and stayed with us last night. This evening, she played a well-attended concert at the Decatur Library. Yeah, Charlie!!

Of all of the friends that we got to hang out with at Kindiefest this year, I think we’ve known Ralph the longest. We first met him over 9 years now … he was our very first kindie musician! In those nine years he’s been to our house; we’ve been to his. And Camille has

Gooney Bird kept on eye on the donuts at Kindiefest. Unfortunately, no one offered to buy him one.

After arriving at our least favorite gate at JFK (seriously), Gooney Bird found a great seat on the AirTrain: A long trip on the A train brought us to Downtown Brooklyn and a very short line at tckts where we got tickets for Phantom of the Opera: After dropping our backpacks at the hotel, we

Our mascot, knit by Camille, is now on the big, big bird headed to the big, big city…. At the Decatur MARTA station: Made it through security: On the “Plane Train”: Checking out the recycled fashions at the airport: Ready to fly: After that flight, Gooney Bird is not sure about flying again:
gustafer yellowgold at eddie’s attic
I can’t believe that we haven’t been to Eddie’s Attic since we’ve moved to Decatur! Two blocks away and yet we haven’t been…. Ever since we discovered the world of “kindie”, we’ve loved Gustafer Yellowgold. So t is a no-brainer that when Morgan and Rachel will be in our neighborhood, we will not only be
live in concert – justin roberts
a week ago, the girls and I were on our way home from Chicago. Earlier in the month, I had begun to work earnestly on a calendar of “kindie events” and was thrilled to see that Justin Roberts would be performing in Champaign, IL, right as we were heading home. We arrived in Champaign-Urbana (everyone
live in concert – ralph’s world
We’ve been planning all summer to make a trip up to Chicago but have been waiting for a convenient weekend that would also include at least one or two kindie concerts. And, finally, we managed to make it up north on the last weekend of August. As we were delivering a large object, we decided
with justin – 28 aug 2011
On the way home from Chicago, we made a pit stop in Champaign. And got to catch a Justin Roberts concert! All pit stops should be that much fun.
with ralph – 27 aug 2011
After a relaxing morning and then a stop at the Stitches marketplace, we made it to the Palatine Street Festival where Chloe went in the bounce house, we had some pizza and then Ralph put on a great concert!
live in concert: OneVoice Rocks!
When I first heard about the OneVoice Rocks! Festival, I knew the girls and I had to get there. Some of our favorite bands (SE rockers Lunch Money, Seattle’s Best Recess Monkey, hometown hero Robbie Schaefer) coming together? To play live music? For a great cause? Near where we love to be? How could we
live in concert: lunch money
Spur of the moment (sort of), we decided to take an overnight trip up to Chattanooga. We’ve been wanting to return for a couple years now and hearing that Lunch Money, our favorite kindie band from South Carolina, would be having a concert there made it seem like an ideal time to go. We’ve been
yogurt tap – 19 may 2011
After seeing The Deedle Deedle Dees concert at Little Shop of Stories, we walked across the square and the girls had a treat — Yogurt Tap!
Lake Eden Arts Festival (LEAF)
Last weekend, we headed out of town to just east of Asheville, for a weekend of camping, music, outdoor activities and, well, rain. We’ve been three times previously (Fall 2010, Spring 2010 and Fall 2009). Every trip has been different. The first time, Rob didn’t come. THe second time Rob came up on Saturday. The
Photo Friday: Hanging out at Sirius/XM in NYC
Last Friday, we were fortunate enough to be invited to attend an amazing concert being broadcast live on the air from the recording studio high above Rockefeller Center. What an honor it was for us to get to hang out with so many of our musician friends, wander in and out of the green room
chloe’s new friend – 1 may 2011
This beautiful musician walked up to me at Kindiefest on Saturday and while she didn’t recognize me, she did recognize the girls. And then went on to mention that she too would like a poptop (how she knew/remembered I had just bought one, I don’t know!) — though as we talked, it was clear she
