You may be dreading the first flurries of the winter (i.e. shoveling and slush), but your kids can't wait to careen down the side of the neighborhood's highest hill. At least you can agree ...
Slip Sliding Away on a 200-Foot-Long Sledding Hill
Save a spot for John Mastrangelo in the Cool Neighborhood Dad Hall of Fame. Mastrangelo of Orchard Park, NY, is the mastermind -- and the muscle -- behind a 22-feet-tall, 200-foot -giant sledding hill in his backyard. Open, of course, to all the ...
Finding the right spot
The plan was to head to our favorite sled hill alongside the highway. There's a wide spot just off the road with plenty of room to park and a service road that, in winter, makes a great place for sledding. So we bundled up the kids, loaded them in ...
How not to stop a sled
Yesterday morning, we met up with our friends at a small ski resort that also had a nice sled hill. It was a little pricey -- $9 per person -- but it there was an easy path up the hill, lots of room to come down, and it was conveniently located for ...
A little bit of snow
We arrived at Lake Tahoe late yesterday afternoon, after an early morning packing frenzy and a long day parked on I-80. I have a very generous friend who graciously lets us stay at his house by the lake, so we've been going up every February for a ...
Ski lessons for little ones?
In less than two weeks, we're off to Lake Tahoe for a week. This time of year, of course, the activities are all centered on snow -- skiing, snowboarding, and sledding. Thus far, we've limited our adventures to the latter, but as Jared is getting ...Should helmets be mandatory for kids on sleds?
In December we brought you the news that Lincoln, Nebraska banned sledding. Now, another state moves to legislate the time-honored winter tradition, by mandating that kids on sleds or skis wear helmets. Massachusetts Senator Steven Panagiotakos plans ...
Blogging Baby Sleepover for Sunday, February 18
We're actually at Lake Tahoe this week, so I don't have to worry about taking out the garbage tonight -- yay! There isn't, however, a whole lot of snow this year which, of course, is kind of the point of it. So I went looking for folks whose kids are ...
Blogging Baby Sleepover for Sunday, January 21
Who cares about taking out the garbage when the internet is right there, just begging to be surfed? How can one say no? I came across a journal written by someone I used to work with and was intrigued by his intent. He's not writing for himself, or ...
Tips for winter sledding safety
While not everybody lives in a climate where winter brings sledding fun, we here in the Rocky Mountains are enjoying a white winter full of skiing, ice skating and sledding. For my family, sledding is the easiest activity to accomplish. All of us, ...
Teens spend snow day playing on icey highway
I grew up in Cleveland, where it snowed. Every winter. A lot. Every year you could more or less count on at least two or three weeks of really good sledding weather. But for kids in Central Texas, where I live now, snow days come once in a lifetime ...
Volkswagen snow sleds
Our friends over at Luxist (with whom I'd gladly trade some dirty diapers for some expensive wine, fast cars, and sleek yachts) posted a story the other day about a line of snow sleds being offered by Volkswagen in Germany. While the steering ability ...
Fun toys for winter
As the snow piles up here in the Rocky Mountains, I am already starting to feel that annual panic that comes with knowing that for the next four months we will be confined to small, indoor spaces. In order to get away from each other, my brood and I ...
