Say Cheese – Indoor Playground in Astoria

Hidden in Astoria is a pretty cool indoor playground called Say Cheese. From the outside, it looks a little small, but it’s a pretty decent size once you walk in. The space includes slides, wall games, projector games, and a ball pit.

So far, Maxine, my daughter, has been there twice, one time with her school and another time with her cousins. I highly recommend it for rainy days or even when school is closed. I would have an exit plan; the kids are having so much fun they don’t want to leave!

Happy St. Patrick’s Day

We went all out this year to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day.

Maxi wore a Papa’s Lucky Charm dress.
We made cute goodie bags for family members and for her classmates.

Maxi had some sticker fun.

We read some fun books.
We also made some Irish soda bread.
Looks pretty good for our first try!

May the luck of the Irish be with you today and every day!

Celebrating Mom

My mom is a leap-year baby, so when it’s a leap year, it’s a big deal. This year is even more special because she turned 80.

We celebrated at our favorite local restaurant, Via Trenta in Astoria, on her birthday.

Last week, we celebrated with family and friends at Luigi’s Restaurant in New Hyde Park.

We had an amazing menu!

The day was filled with smiles and laughter.

We had a few interactive elements.

Also, shared some fun pictures of Mom.

We also had some goodie bags!

For the kids

It was a fun afternoon. I’m glad we got to celebrate Mom, and cheers to many more birthdays to come.
