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.






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.








On Sunday, my daughter and I got to watch Gabby’s Dollhouse Live at King’s Theatre in Brooklyn. My daughter loved it!








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.




It’s been a fun couple of days celebrating Three Kings.








Here are the recipes I made from July to December from ‘The Calendar Kids’ series.













Overall, the book series was very cute and the recipes were a lot of fun.
