Saturday I wrote that my son and I saw Milkshake the Band in concert. A truly great show for kids. Good music, glorious weather, and a super enthusiastic band of musicians. As the concert closed up, my son and I milled around to get a few autographs. He got autographs from everyone, but most...

Milkshake Band in Concert!

Mikel signs the CD! Lisa! Milkshake was awesome. We arrived late after an early snafu of leaving the battery for the camera at home. Battery retrieved and we were on our way. The concert was set up outside the Westview movie theater at the Westview Shopping Center in Frederick, MD. Huge stage. My son...

PBS to the Rescue, Again!

With the kid in school for the whole day, I’m missing the Sesame Street/PBS action. I’m a long-time watcher…started around age 4 when my family moved to America. Three channels — totally precable — black and white TV, even. PBS was a favorite of mine. Romper Room, too. I know that the Electric Company...

LeapFrog Text and Learn

Have I mentioned that I’m a winning machine? Yes, just about every week I win something or so it seems. I know I sound braggy, but if it were not for winning prizes and getting free stuff to review I wouldn’t have anything tangible to show for my blogging at all. I write for...

And That’s All I Have To Say About That…

And That’s All I Have To Say About That…

Is there really anything more to say about this cake? A cake made by my father-in-law with a raised cake nose, indents for eyes and mouth, and chocolate shavings for hair. No, I did not think so. My FIL makes cakes for every occasion…birthdays, graduations, special occasions. He loves the process of making a...

One of Those Days

May 16, 2009
By

Today was a day. Teacher Professional Day. No school for any of the kids. Kids thrilled. Me…not so thrilled. I knew that I was conflicted about the day going in to the day. By the end of the day I was over the day — big time. On the one hand I wanted to...

A friend posted about needing tips for a trip to Disney. I left an encyclopedia for a comment… Sneaker and socks for all — lots of walking. Fast Pass — when you arrive at the park go immediately to the Fast Pass rides (Magic Kingdom–Winnie the Pooh ride). Put your Disney entry tickets in...

Speak Now for Kids

I was asked to join a Blogger Advisory council for Speak_Now_for_Kids by Resourceful Mommy Media, LLC. I did not have to be asked twice once I found out that 11 percent of children in the United States are not insured. Just reading that number makes me furious. ALL children should have health care coverage!...
