Weekly Wrap Up: Fall Festivals and Pumpkin Patches, Exerblast, Snowy Day, Free Weekend Events
Submitted by Raven Snook on
Despite the dreary weather, we've been feeling upbeat all week. On Wednesday, we celebrated the International Day of Peace with pinwheels for peace. (The photo above is from my daughter's East Harlem elementary school.) On Friday, fall officially arrives, which means we have lots of harvest festivals to look forward to. Plus, we found out that Mommy Poppins has been nominated as best local blog by Parents magazine! If you think we should win (and we hope you do), please vote for us at Parents.com. You'll need to register (boo!) but it really only takes a minute.
We're also really looking forward to this weekend. There are so many incredible annual festivals and events, like the amazing Dumbo Arts Festival and Smithsonian Magazine's Museum Day, when 35 NYC cultural institutions offer free admission.
And that's just a bit of what's going on. Here's what we covered this week on Mommy Poppins in NYC, New Jersey, Long Island and Connecticut, as well as selected stories from our brand-new sites in Boston and Los Angeles.
