Want to drive to a museum that has plenty of parking and isn’t very crowded? Go to the College Park Aviation Museum! We just got home from this destination and it was definitely fun! It’s not enormous, but it has lots of hands-on activities for little ones and my 5-year-old was engrossed!
It’s [...]
I love this upcoming week, the end-of-the-year, play-with-toys week. It’s lazy and fun and always a good time to do something new and a little special with your kids.
I just found a great destination to take your kids for a few hours -

My son, who turned 5 just over a [...]
It started out innocently enough, we were going to Build-A-Bear yesterday and my son asked me,
‘Did you ever go to Build-A-Bear with Nanny when you were a little girl?’ (’Nanny’ is my mom.)
‘No, we didn’t have Build-A-Bear.’

Christmas is the 25th, Kwanzaa always starts on the 26th and Hanukkah starts the evening of the 21st this year. So no matter who you are, we’re all basically on the same schedule this year…
except for those of us who as a result of:
poor planning,

I had a music channel on TV, as I typically do. I usually listen to the ‘light classical’ channel but now have switched to the ’sounds of the season’ channel since it is holiday time. Our Verizon Fios music channels feature factoids on the screen relevant to the music playing…

Busy running around? No, me neither.
Take a break and go for dinner with your kids and your hubby to Austin Grill.
We went to Austin Grill last night for dinner. It’s quick, but not too quick, and the food is good.
BUT THE BEST PART is that ‘Kids eat free’ EVERY TUESDAY at [...]
Ahhh, the post office at holiday time- it’s crowded, cold and s…l…o…w.
Yesterday afternoon my Little Man and I went to the post office to send out our Christmas cards. They were all addressed and done, but 1 Christmas card we send out goes to our friends in England, so we needed to wait in [...]
