Camille and I just happened to be in NYC on Tonys Sunday, so we stopped by the Beacon Theater to see what all the fuss is about….
photo friday: macy’s thanksgiving day parade
And finally! The reason I decided we should take at least one trip to NYC over Thanksgiving …. the parade!! We got up early, very early. And dressed warmly. And headed to the subway to get to the UWS near Tavern on the Green. Just as we arrived at Central Park West, a gate was
atlanta: music midtown
Though it saddened us greatly, we decided that after seven-consecutive years, we would not be going to the Austin City Limits Music Festival this year. Too expensive, too much school to miss for the girls. Instead, Chloe and I decided to attend Music Midtown instead. A much shorter festival and only a MARTA ride away.
atlanta: beltline lantern parade
Continuing on with my theme of getting out of the house on Saturday, we decided to battle the crowds (or join in the crowds) and attend the Atlanta Beltline Lantern Parade. The threatening weather held off, and we found ourselves a nice spot near the O4W Park. Alas, the parade was very long and we
weekend in wauseon
This past weekend, I headed off on a rare trip – one on which I did nothing. I made no decisions. I don’t know when I’ve ever had a couple of hours like that, much less a couple of days like that! I flew up to Detroit and met my aunt and uncle who took
photo friday: My girls at LEAF
The girls and I had a lovely weekend at LEAF, now almost four months ago. I don’t know if and when we’ll return to LEAF, but we sure did make good friends and memories on our many weekends there. photo friday: LEAF fun – (oct 2013) photo friday: LEAF food (oct 2013) photo friday: lake
photo friday: LEAF fun
While at the Lake Eden Arts Festival, we don’t just listen to music, look at art and eat, there’s also lots to do and time to sit quietly. Chloe loves the more active things, from the kids’ village to the zipline. Camille often opts for the quieter activities like drawing, reading and knitting.

ONe of the things I love about LEAF is all of the ART. Not just the artists’ art that is for sale, but all the creative art that can be found in every nook and cranny!
photo friday: Lake Eden
What does LEAF stand for, you ask? Lake Eden Arts Festival! And what about this Lake Eden? Well, it is the lovely centerpiece to the music, food, art, and activities of the weekend.
photo friday: LEAF food
For our first trip to LEAF, I brought along all our camping cooking equipment and food. Through the years, I’ve brought less and less with me each time. Why? The food at LEAF is amazing. Even the coffee is good. Plenty of vegetarian friendly options. Good ones. GREAT ones. So good that I could eat
photo friday: austin city limits
For the seventh year in a row, we made our pilgrimage to Austin for the Austin City Limits Music Festival. With both girls in school now, it was a whirlwind of a trip. Drive 900 miles on Thursday. Go to three full days of music. Drive 900 miles home on Monday. But it was very
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.
photo friday: renfest
A bit over a month ago, the girls and I headed down to the Georgia Renaissance Festival as we’ve bee doing for years now. As we’ve learned from experience, it helps to arrive early to beat the line for parking. The weather was good and the girls had fun — however Chloe didn’t have quite
Spring Break Day 2 : Grace Potter
I didn’t sleep well because Gazoo kept getting me up. I was then up early to help Chloe and Rob get out the door a little after 6am. After a day of cleaning and getting things done, I wasn’t much in the mood to get on MARTA to head to join the crowds at Centennial

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
photo friday: “backstage” at austin city limits
Back in October, the girls and I headed to Texas for the weekend for our annual pilgrimage to the Austin City Limits Music Festival. This year, however, we had a special treat — “backstage” passes! These lovely little red wristbands allowed us to enter the guest areas — free sodas and water, “cleaner” port-a-potties, chairs
light up blue ridge
For the past few years, it has been our custom to headed down to Blue Ridge on the Saturday following Thanksgiving. And over the years it has grown and grown in size. My mom plays in the “Tuba Christmas” then we watch the Christmas parade and then we wander around. This year, there was even
Dragon*Con Weekend
Rob and the girls headed off to the “big city” for a weekend of hanging out with a lot of enthusiastic sci-fi/fantasy fans and hopefully getting to meet some stars….
braves game: what game?
As a fundraiser, Chloe’s gymnastics team sold $10 general admission tickets to the Braves vs. Mets game last Saturday. While it complicated our travel plans, I thought it would be a good way for Chloe to get the chance to feel more a part of the team if she went and “did a lap” around
photo friday: my happy place
A couple *months* ago, while Camille and I were in NYC for Kindiefest, we were honored to be invited up to the Sirius Fishbowl for a Kids Place Live Special Live Concert. A number of our favorite artists came together in one place to collaborate on each other’s songs. It was a wonderful time for
