Best Indoor Play Places for a Winter's Day
January 20, 2009
Sadly the extremely short lived Blue Sky Family Club leaves us one less place to go when it is dreary out. But have no fear! There are still great places to take the tots when the weather outside is frightful. Some of my favorites: Sadiey Dey's Play Cafe (formerly Tumble & Tea): I know some may disagree with me, but Sadie Dey's is at the top of my list Read more...

Top 5 Local Holiday Traditions
December 02, 2008
If these wonderful activities aren't already a part of your yearly Holiday festivities, I would strongly suggest adding one or two to your repertoire. Kids love doing the same thing year after year, and all of these activities would make great outings for a child to look forward to (and hey, maybe you'll even look forward to it, too!). 1) The Tilden Park Merry Go Round and Read more...
Dance early, dance often
November 13, 2008
This being Berkeley, there is a group of people who love to dance -- barefoot -- and do it regularly. This being Berkeley, they invite all like-minded folks to join them for mellow freestyle dancing. Sometimes, it's an all-ages thing, and it's the perfect way to tire out a preschooler at the end of the week. Family Jam is before-bedtime freestyle dance for kids of all ages and the people who Read more...

Where to spend the 4th of July? Albany!
July 03, 2008
My friend Sunny just called to ask if she'd see me at Memorial Park tomorrow. With it being our baby's first birthday, we haven't focused much on the other aspects of 4th of July, so I was without a plan. I was thrilled, therefore, to read the announcement from The City of Albany Recreation & Community Services Department about their 4th of July Green , Red, White & Blue Celebration in Read more...
Summer music of the square dance variety
July 01, 2008
A preschool mom just told us about a daytime family dance/live music opportunity at Ashkenaz this weekend. If you have never been to one of Evie Laden's square dances, you are missing out on a unique Bay Area experience! They are usually held in the evening, so this is a great way to get the younger kids out on that dance floor, and for us older folks to do a little hoofing Read more...
Dance the afternoon away at Baby Loves Disco this summer!
June 20, 2008
Whitney and I went to our first Baby Loves Disco when the boys were 18 months and 2 years old (and me quite pregnant) and it rocked! We BART'ed into the City from West Oakland (itself an adventure) and hoofed it up the hill from Powell Station to Ruby Skye for a great couple hours. Ruby Skye is the kind of nightclub that I had never visited when I had the chance in my ever-so-slightly wilder Read more...
