It's been raining a lot in NYC for the past couple of weeks. This has caused me to get somewhat creative in the things I do with the boys do during the day. Luckily there is always something going on at the different public libraries throughout the city. I te[...]
It was Father's Day and because of a tight deadline he was on, the only thing my husband wanted to do was get some work done. It was rainy on and off (mostly on) and it seemed like the lazy Sunday would be spent inside. But with the boys getting louder and cabin f[...]
