Kathiey's World

 My daughter Erica has two very young children.  The day seems long when you have a 1-month-old and a one-year-old, so we have decided to go on some adventures in our attempt to break up her day.  One such adventure was not far from our location it is called. Spring Haven Farm in Chapel Hill, NC. We gather up the kids, and off we went to the farm. Here is a quote from the website..... Experience all the  fun  and  joy of the farm with none of the work! "A Celebration of all things Goat! Our farm is family friendly, with fun for everyone. Watch as baby goats prance, hop and gallop around the farm… watch out, they may even steal your heart! Goats are full of love and curiosity - they’re waiting for you to show up so they can get snuggled and loved on!" There were so many free-range critters.  We met several friendly goats walking around the grounds.  There were also turkeys, guineas, chickens, a couple of dogs, and we saw one cat.  Also, you wi...

A few weeks ago my daughter said: "Mom, we are going to do something fun today and it is a surprise."   I am all for surprises, so I said: "let's go!"  We were nearly in Chapel Hill when she informed me we were going to a cat cafe.  I was really excited, I had never been to one. Cat Tales Cat Cafe   Check out their website for more info before you go. As you can see through the window, there is a small cafe where you can buy gifts, coffee, tea, wine, and other goodies.  Erica and I grabbed a drink and headed into the kitty area.  What fun! All the cats at the cafe are adoptable, so it is a great place to go if you are considering adopting.  Cost of the visit is $12.00, and you can book online.  Reservations are recommended because only a limited  amount of people can be in the room with the cats. This reservation gives you an hour with the kitties.  We met the artist of this beautiful mural...such talent! ...

Caleb spent most of the week with me during his spring break last week.  The big question was what to do to get out of the house each day.   We decided to take local adventures.  We visited three museums in three days one of which was Kudzu Children's Museum  at University Mall in Chapel Hill.  What a great place! Here is a quote from their website... "At Kidzu —make, build, explore and learn— an adventurous expanded Museum experience for age infant to tween. Kidzu’s new 8,500 square foot space is multi-sensory, play-centered, and focused on providing area children and their families, teachers, and caregivers an ever-changing menu of exhibits and programs that inspire creativity, collaboration and community. Kids Children’s Museum is a hands-on museum dedicated to inspiring young children and the adults in their lives to learn through purposeful play.
