My family had the best time at Kerrygold USA’s Magical Pantry event today, and not just because butter may very well be my kids’ favorite food… Among several fun activities were mason jar butter making - fun (and a workout), you should try it with your kids! Steps:1️⃣ Pour 1 cup of heavy cream in a mason jar 2️⃣ Shake vigorously until the milk fats clearly separate from the water (takes about 5-7 minutes continuously - pass it around!) 3️⃣ Strain milk fat and rinse with cold water 3x 4️⃣ Mix in salt to taste, or leave unsalted 5️⃣ Roll into shape using parchment paper 6️⃣ Store in fridge, enjoy! #sponsored #kerrygold #kerrygoldbutter #magicalpantry #makebutter #kidscooking #kidskitchen #kidsactivities #nyckids #citykids #brooklynkids #brooklynmom #brooklynparents #findyourfamilyfun

Shout out to PS8 PTA - Brooklyn Heights’ 4th grade class who was there for the ribbon cutting this morning. 💗
From the library’s website:
At over 26,000 square feet, the new library has more public space than any other branch in Brooklyn and a bright, open design with flexible spaces for books, programs and technology.
In 2015, BPL held three public community planning workshops and conducted online surveys. These workshops, as well as interviews with library staff, planning sessions with teenagers and regular meetings with librarians influenced the library's design.
The design features:
The new library is 26,620 square feet, making it the largest nieghborhood branch in Brooklyn.
A double height Main Hall, filled with books, shelves, seating and a reading circle.
A new Multipurpose Room, with seating capacity for up to 225 in audience style.
A children’s area designed for programs and collections for our littlest patrons, birth through elementary school.
A dedicated teen library space, the first of its kind in Brooklyn Heights.
Conference and meeting rooms that can be reserved online with a library card, and collaborative co-working seating throughout the library.
A reading circle in the Main Hall with plenty of power outlets and comfortable seating options, for programs or a great spot for casual working.

A family trip to Medieval Times in Lyndhurst, NJ
Sunday funday with the kids at Medieval Times Dinner & Tournament - Lyndhurst NJ! (14 miles from the Brooklyn Bridge)

“When we get uncomfortable, ultimately we become more comfortable.” - Daniel Carlton Storyteller (Director of Jabari Dreams of Freedom)
Theater is not only a place to have fun. It is also a place for us to feel uncomfortable. In that uncomfortableness, we listen more. We grow. We become better people.
After watching the show, have that conversation with your child. Answer those questions.
