Happy New Year!!!

Happy New Year 2011 to one and all!!! 

After having the kids home on break for the last week or so, you may be at your wits end and need to get them out of the house.

What to do? Start the year on a crafty note and head to one of my favorite places - PaintSome Pottery in the Tilghman Square Shopping Center (4610 Broadway, Allentown, PA 18104).


They're open 10 a.m. - 5 p.m.on Saturday and noon to 5 p.m. on Sunday so get out for a bit and keep those little hands busy!

You never know, that cute creation of theirs may warm the heart of a friend or family member just enough and get you a babysitter for an evening. Not that you heard that from me. . .

Breakfast with Santa at The Crayola Factory

Tired of the same old breakfast? If so, head to The Crayola Factory next month for their special weekend event - Breakfast with Santa.

Saturday the 4th, 11th and 18th the breakfast will take place from 9:00am - 10:00am. Sunday the 12th and 19th breakfast will be from 11:30am - 12:30pm. There will be no breakfast on the 5th.

There will be holiday music and each child will receive a Crayola gift valued at $20.00.
