I took my daughter on a mini adventure on Friday. We took the LIRR to Grand Central and enjoyed the YOYO Art Exhibit.

So adorable

We got Luke’s after for a yummy snack.

We lost our best girl yesterday.

Brittany, aka BB, turned 17 in May. We’ll miss her terribly.

Until we meet again, sweet girl. ❤️

Piano Recital

Posted on May 20, 2026 by mlenoach

My daughter Maxine had her piano recital earlier this month. It was held in the Church in the Gardens in Forest Hills.

The venue was beautiful. Maxine did her best. We practiced, but she kinda froze up. It happens. This will be the first of many, I’m sure.

The Magic School Bus live show at Queens Theatre

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.

Wild Kratts at Kings Theatre

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!).

Petting Zoo Fun

The whole family got to enjoy a little petting zoo moment this past weekend at Puzzles in Astoria.

Art Strong

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.

Home Depot Fun

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.
