I started this blog with one daughter, kept it up with the other, to spend time together doing something we enjoyed.
However, things change and people evolve. My daughters are older, busier, and not as interested in writing.
From now on this blog will be mostly mom with occasional contributions from my daughters and maybe even my husband.
Nothing else will change. We'll still focus on sharing fun places to go, fun things to do, and more, and we would  still love to hear your views too

Musical Performances and More in Quarantine


Broadway, West End,  and  tour casts of various musicals, and others have come together virtually while in quarantine to perform songs from their shows and more. Most of these songs were put together to raise money for The Actor's Fund, Broadway Cares/Equity Fights Aids or various other worthy causes. However, some were put together for other reasons including to cheer up a little girl who missed her opportunity to see Hamilton because of the quarantine or  to thank healthcare workers. Below is the most comprehensive list of these songs that we could find.* Enjoy and donate if you can!
