Summer was half a year ago, and I’m sitting here wearing my hygge robe, drinking hot tea. This last summer was a hot one, and the one coming, well who knows. Not to be a Negative Nancy, but I don’t have my hopes up that this one will size up to last year’s, given our climate in Upstate NY! But…

Hi, friends! This post is for my local peeps, but if you are simply entertained by my writing (laughing with me or at me??), keep on reading. Visiting libraries is one of our go-to family activities. They’re cheap; free, come to think of it! Well, as long as you are diligent about returning books on time. Our libraries around here…

Hi Peeps! Today I just wanted to check in for a quickie post about a local place I’ve been visiting more and more over the years, Savicki’s Farm Market. ILWIL = I Love Where I Live. I think I’ll start a new series where I periodically feature a cool place here in Upstate NY! What it is: … It’s a…

Greetings, Shorties! We at the Shortest Tallman (and by “we,” I mean “me”) love July. Back when I was teaching full time, July was like a giant Saturday… newly relieved from the duties of work, and lots of time until Monday 🙂 Plus, it was my opportunity to be a SAHM, something I had dreamed of from my early days…

Hi, Shorties! Absence makes the heart grow fonder? Or forgottener? Ha! Well, I haven’t forgotten about my blog. I’ve had a bunch of stuff going on, and I’ve been focusing on them, as well as sleep, over my blog 🙁 We went to Disney Whoot! We had a blast on our Disney trip! With a family, I highly recommend staying…

Literally, October at a glance. Here is a photo gallery of the sights around an upstate NY October! As far as Octobers go, 2016’s was quite lovely! Sure, I’m bummed about the weather getting colder, but there’s so much to look forward to. …

Hi peeps! Boscov’s reached out to me, invited me to their store, gave me a tour, fed me their fudge, and asked if I would give my readers a review of their brand new store in New Hartford, NY. Ya know. NBD or nuthin. !!!! Before coming to our area, I had heard of Boscov’s, and was pretty sure I’d…

It’s been a long time since I’ve been to our local children’s museum. I’ve read news stories about changes in leadership and various drama over the years, and I know funding has been an issue. Still, somehow I have never taken my kids there, and we tend to get out a lot. Now that it’s just me and my little…

This summer, we went away twice, two totally different vacations. One was an old favorite, totally within our comfort zone, and one was a new experience for us (to a degree anyway. We didn’t vacation in Madagascar or something lol). (One things I just realized was that we had a buffer day before the Tallest Tallman had to go back…
