KidMontauk

We have been in hibernation.  We will see you again in the spring.

I am thankful for my wonderful children who remind me of what is most important in life on a daily  basis.  I am also thankful for my family, friends and this wonderful community in Montauk.

Have a wonderful holiday weekend.  Please check out the calendar of events!  Lot’s going on in and around Montauk.

If you’re a parent, you know what the “negotiations” or rules that have to be set are like with our children after Halloween.  We usually have at least one melt down but funny enough my other daughter prefers to inventory, color code and look at her candy for months to come.  Or at least she has me believing that.

Another option is to have your child donate some or all of their candy this year.  Here is a list of organizations that accept candy and care packages:

This is the weekend my children look forward to all year long.   When they see the carousel being put together this Friday, I know they will be squealing with delight! The Harvest Festival runs from 10-5 on Saturday and Sunday.  There are jumpy castle type rides, face art, sand art, pumpkin painting, food and drink, live music and the famous Clam Chowder Contest.  If you want to miss the crowds, try to go early or late.  Last year I wound up writing my cell phone number on my daughter’s arm because it was so crowded.

Check the Calendar of Events.  The next two weekends are filled with fun in and around Montauk!

If you’ve been in Montauk in September, you know what I’m talking about. There are less crowds, less cars and a much more laid back vibe but there is plenty going on. It seems that everybody begins to move at a slower pace with more smiles and patience.

The kids are back to school and so there are weekday spaces at the beaches and even still on the weekends. With school comes all the new offererings of sports and family programs from Montauk Youth and Ballet is back from the Hampton Ballet Theater Company. Take a look at the calendar of events and more importantly….relax…

Do you remember when your grandma told you the fashion rules? Hand bag, belt, and shoes MUST match. NEVER wear navy and black together. And most of all NEVER EVER WEAR WHITE AFTER LABOR DAY. Except of course if you are the bride and then never wear white to a wedding UNLESS you ARE the bride. (more…)

Montauk is boarded up, low lying areas and hotel beaches have been evacuated and people are settling into their homes or shelters.  The ocean is roaring and the town is quiet.

Children’s programs are cancelled for Sunday, August 28th.

Be safe.
