Field Trip

July 17, 2012

An excessive heat warning, 90 plus degrees with high humidity, the blazing sun… a basketball court. Are we intimidated. No way! This week (and many other weeks this summer) Gloucester county is sponsoring inexpensive sports skills workshops in various parks across the county. We’ll be out there with the coaches for an hour and a […]

A History Lesson

July 16, 2012

0

I’m so proud of myself for having come up with a long list of potential places to visit with kids this summer. This list includes the usual (aka. the Beach or Adventure Aquarium) and the obscure. This post is about one of the obscure: the South Jersey Museum of American History in Glassboro. I’d never […]

Regal theaters all over the country are participating in the Regal Summer Movie Express film festival. Every Tuesday and Wednesday at participating theaters you can go see a kid’s movie for $1 at 10 am. (It used to be free, but nothing is free any more.) The movies are usually last year’s hits (or the […]

Family Night Fishin’

It is family night again. What to do, what to do… Do you know another great thing about South Jersey? It is only 45 minutes from the famous family friendly Jersey Shore (NOT the Jersey Shore where the idiots from MTV’s Jersey Shore hang out). Everyone love a day at the beach. If you live […]

To Grandfather’s House We Go…

July 7, 2012

My dad insists that my son call him “Grandfather”. Grandfather and grandson are great buddies and when they get together there is no stopping them. Literally. They get  up early and play ALL day, no stopping. My parents are fortunate enough to be able to live in Heritage Shores, a nice neighborhood on a golf […]

When All Else Fails…

I enjoyed the company of my grandmother (Grammy) this weekend. She recently turned 86 and was staying at my house so that she would be closer to yet another party she has to attend. I can’t keep up with Grammy! She arrived at my house at 2 in the morning on Saturday and didn’t sit […]

Web-slinging at Chuck e Cheese

Who is swinging into town? It’s your friendly-neighborhood-Spider Man… at Chuck e Cheese! I know how you parents LLLLOOOOVE Chuck e Cheese as much as I do (eyes rolling into the back of my head). But if you just have to get out, for $5 your child can run around like a maniac for a good […]

Hanging out with Sistahs

June 26, 2012

It was Hades hot last week. I usually put a halt to my running around when the temperature gets above 90 (my ancestors sweated it out for me in cotton fields long ago and I am trying my best to stay as cool as possible in honor of their memory…). However, with 2 teens staying at […]

Kids Bowl Free!

June 19, 2012

What do you do with a 16 year old and a 4 year old that will make everyone happy? Bowling. Kids bowl free all summer long, 2 games per day, all over the country. If you’ve got kids and you’re not sure what to do, take them bowling. It is interesting enough for the teens […]

Easy Walmart Mosaic

June 14, 2012

It was a rainy Wednesday and I didn’t have any trips planned, except the traditional I-don’t-have-anything-else-to-do-so-I’ll-go-to-Walmart trip. This trip is familiar to anyone living in rural South Jersey as there often is nowhere else to go that is more interesting that is within 30 miles. So off we went in the middle of the day […]
