Boston, Mass – It’s only recently that I have gained the confidence (or foolhardiness) to take the twins to the Museum of Fine Arts (MFA) when there are no special kids’ activities on tap. We used to go regularly to the bimonthly “play…
The Art of the Brick
Boston, Mass – There are many reasons why Voting Day is great for kids: stickers, bake sales, and… no school! We took the opportunity to check out the Art of the Brick, Nathan Sawaya’s cool LEGO art exhibit that is currently…
Peabody Museum of Ethnology and Archaeology
Cambridge, Mass – Thanks to Playmobil and very vivid imaginations, the twins have this new found interest in ancient temples and lost treasure. Archaeologists in the making, right? In attempt to encourage our budding Indiana Jones(es)–and also, as a way…

Micro Museum
Somerville, Mass – Somerville was in the news while we were away. Not so much because of the rash of house fires (nine over the summer, four of which are confirmed arson cases), although that’s certainly what Somerville residents are talking…
New England Aquarium
Boston, Massachusetts – Back in our own house in our own country, we’re trying to transition to a new routine, which will include preschool for the twins, starting next week. This week, we got nothin’. No babysitter, no grandparents, no…
