When I was kid in the late '70s and early '80s, playtime after school was spent in the woods and ravines of my suburban Seattle neighborhood, making forts and creating imaginary worlds. If the Moonpaper Tent had been around then, I would have been all over it.

I love walking tours, or at least the idea of them. I am an all-weather walker, and I enjoy knowing that Gub is already developing a map sense of her city. Of course, she is still too young to appreciate the educational aspects of a walking tour, but I when I am with her, I often find myself looking at things I'd passed a million times before without notice.

If you haven't already heard, your next chance to party hard with your kids is this Saturday, Feb. 23.
I'd been hearing about Baby Loves Disco, the family-oriented daytime dance party, for months before I finally checked it out in November. My friend and her son, who is three weeks older than Gub, were here from out of town, and we thought it would be a good urban activity for the kiddos.
