My daughter participated in her first fun run today! Super proud of her, especially because she fell, and she just picked herself up and kept it moving. It also helped that a young boy helped her and made sure she was ok 🥰.
I think there will be more runs for her in the future.
Every first Saturday of the month, Home Depot has a free workshop for kids where they make something. In January, my daughter made a toy truck. In February, she made a penguin mailbox. Today, she made a leprechaun trap.
Here are some pics of my daughter making the penguin mailbox in February.
Here are some pics of today.
Looking forward to the workshop in April.
It’s a big day…
And lastly, and more importantly, Happy Birthday to my husband.
On Sunday, my daughter and I got to watch Gabby’s Dollhouse Live at King’s Theatre in Brooklyn. My daughter loved it!
My friends and I took advantage of the 2-for-1 Broadway deal last week and saw Death Becomes Her. It was so fun and hilarious, plus we had great seats.
First date night of the year was at Grand Central Oyster Bar and Restaurant. We participated in a Billion Oyster Social. The Billion Oyster Project is a fabulous organization that collects old oyster shells and returns them to the New York Harbor to restore oyster reefs. We enjoyed a three-course tasting menu with cocktail pairings. Everything was yummy 😋!
After the social, we stayed and had more oysters and dinner.
NYC got hit with a lot of snow on Sunday.
I had the best day wrapped up in blankets. I was also mildly productive.
On Monday, it was all about the snow day.
In honor of MLK Jr. Day, my daughter and I made cards for seniors in nursing homes/rehab facilities. We’ve been doing this for a few years now and really enjoy it. I was in charge of the writing, and my daughter did all the drawings ❤️.
This amazing program is facilitated by GlamourGals. Check them out!
Carnegie Hall has great family programming. This past Saturday, we enjoyed their Musical Explorer program, featuring three performers. It was a great blend of music, dance, and storytelling. Everyone, especially the kids, was encouraged to sing along and learn different cultural dances. We had a great time!
On Sunday, my daughter, Maxi, and I attended the keychain-making class at Michaels.
Maxi got to choose all her beads, and I just helped with the knots. It was a nice, quick, and free event.
