Incentives for Wee Geeks
When i first started blogging, I was worried that I might become just another Mommy blogger. There is nothing wrong with being a Mommy Blogger, but I had this notion that, somehow, I would no longer have interests of my own. Obviously, that’s not how it actually works. Another concern I had, as a parent …
Making Moustaches!
Anyone who has been following fun and popular things to do lately has probably seen that pretend moustaches are a big deal. Sunglasses come with one attached, pre-glued ones abound, temporary tattoo finger ‘staches, even gold necklaces with jeweled moustache-shaped pendants! I thought I had blogged about the ‘staches I made this summer, and perhaps …
Creativity and me
I started this blog as a place where I could geek out about things, share ideas, and, yes, talk about the cool stuff I do with my kids. It somehow became much more about the kids than the geekery. Perhaps this is a stage that all parents go through, perhaps it is just a stage …

It’s Summer time, and New York City is full of amazing and educational opportunities for kids. As a parent with kids in the City, I feel that it is my responsibility to find these opportunities, especially if they are free, and experience them with my children.

My own kids are currently in a school that only has partial A/C. My daughter is in a moderately air conditioned room, and my six-year-old asthmatic son is in a sauna. While many …
Catching Up
Between I-Con, the school book fair, Spring break for the kids (not for me!), and a busy class schedule, I have been lax in updating of late. I have much to tell about all of the above, and more! I need to get out in the garden and take some photos of the lovely blooms …
The Most Addictive Game!
Like many people, I spend a lot of time on Facebook. I like to keep up with friends and family, plan events, see links to things both informational and/or humorous, and to play games. I have always enjoyed playing games, whether board games, card games, tabletop RPGs, console games, or video games. I used to …
Cardboard Luxury Home
As a parent who is concerned about proper nutrition for her kids, I try to get the best food available. That said, I only have a certain amount of time per week, and I do not have the option of driving to the grocery store while my children are at school. Needless to say, …

This is my Pixie. She is an intelligent, creative, sweet child. She has many friends, she loves to read, she does well academically. I love my Pixie! Like many children who are a little shy, my daughter has experienced bullying at school. We have contacted the school when this has happened, had conferences, and generally …
