Every first Saturday of the month, Home Depot has a kids’ craft workshop. In April, we made a planter, and this month we made a keepsake box. It’s a fun activity we really look forward to each month.
Last week, I attended a Craft & Sip fundraiser for my daughter’s school. We made a teacup planter using decoupage techniques. It reminded me of paper mache 😂. It was a lot of fun and a good girls’ night out for us Kindergarten moms.
It came out great, right?!? Now I need a plant 😆.
Last week, my daughter Maxine and I had another mother daughter adventure watching The Magic School Bus at Queens Theatre.
I was never into the show when I was younger, but it’s fun watching it with her now, and it was great seeing this live show. She was really into it and loved seeing the characters come to life.
My daughter and I enjoyed the Wild Kratts live show last week in Brooklyn. If you are watching a show at Kings Theatre, I highly recommend you get the family pack. It includes popcorn and a drink, plus access to their speakeasy area, where you can get a drink and use the bathroom (no lines!).
The whole family got to enjoy a little petting zoo moment this past weekend at Puzzles in Astoria.
My daughter recently attended a birthday party at Art Strong in Long Island City. It was actually really spacious, and the activities were pretty cute and creative. I would definitely recommend the space for regular art classes and birthday parties.
Earlier this month, I had a girls’ night at La Pizza & La Pasta inside Eataly in the Flatiron District. We got to indulge in a curated selection of flavors from Northern Italy. The food was plated family-style and delicious. Wine and other drinks were optional. My crew left happy and stuffed.

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.
