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…
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…
tomatoes – 5 may 2011
For Cinco de Mayo, we had tacos. With fresh tomatoes and avocados. Yum!
Struggling to Keep Up
I had been doing so well at staying on top of everything and even moving forward on a number of projects. But after our trip to New York last weekend, I have managed to fall behind on just about everything, except for work. It is so frustrating to have a to-do list that is a…
flowers – 4 may 2011
A quiet day at home, catching up on work and other things. Not much time for taking photos, unfortunately.
My Happy Place was A World of Happiness
After our ramble through Central Park last Friday, we stopped in Rockefeller Center for some lunch and window shopping before making our way to the 36th floor of the McGraw Hill building. Upon signing the visitor log, I could see that this was going to be an amazing afternoon. A page filled with the names…
doctor who – 3 may 2011
The girls are happy to be back home after our action packed trip. And they got to watch more of their favorite, Doctor Who.
Travel Tuesday: Weekly Favorites for 3 May 2011
We are back home from our NYC adventure and I’m desperately trying to catch up … 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: Kids and Castles: Culture Shock: Easter Egg HuntInteresting comparison of…
Central Park Ramblings
After we left the Guggenheim Museum on Friday, we debated going back the way we came to the subway versus walking across the street to Central Park. We decided to make a quick visit to the park before hitting the subway. However, once we were in the park, we didn’t want to leave; we modified…
forbidden planet – 2 may 2011
A kindie friend posted on facebook that he had visited Forbidden Planet near Union Square, so I decided to surprise the girls with a visit to this scifi/manga store. Chloe loved all the Doctor Who “collectibles”! Camille was feeling a little out of place, though, and wouldn’t go upstairs to look at the manga 🙁
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…
ice cream truck – 30 apr 2011
You’ve never seen such a mad rush as the rush of kindiefesters when the ice cream truck pulled up outside the venue!!
Visiting : The Guggenheim Museum
While the girls have certain favorite places to visit in NYC, I do try to make sure that we get to at least one new place each time we visit. This time, I decided it was about time for us to get to the Guggenheim. By the time we got there, after the subway ride…
belvedere castle – 29 apr 2011
As we walked through Central Park, the girls were super excited to spot a castle! Right here in the middle of NYC!
Times Square means Chocolate
After our trip to NYC, we arrived in Times Square where I surprised the girls with a visit to the Harry Potter Exhibition. But then, once we were out and had a soft pretzel (gross) for a little sustenance, the girls wanted to visit places in Times Square. The Toys R Us with the Ferris…
Photo Friday: RenFest
For a few years now, we have made a tradition of heading just south of Atlanta on a spring weekend to attend the Georgia Renaissance Festival. The girls love just about everything about it. The shows, ranging from acrobatics to jousting to craftspeople showing their crafts, are lots of fun to watch. The people in…
Thoughts: The Journey is Half the Fun
The girls and I headed out yesterday to travel from Atlanta to Brooklyn for our annual kids’ music pilgrimage. The first challenge was the weather. Atlanta was very, very fortunate to have not been hit harder by the storms that rolled through. The tornadoes were north, south and east, but Atlanta was spared. No trees…
times sq – 28 apr 2011
Yup. We made it to NYC despite the stormy weather. Fun times in Times Square, then off to Brooklyn!!
RenFest
Last Sunday, after the girls found all of their eggs, we headed down to the Georgia Renaissance Festival. Depsite being overwhelmed with I wanted to get done, I knew the girls really wanted to go, and this was the weekend for it. As we head towards summer, it gets hotter and hotter. We only have…
