Happy 2012!
I must admit I am behind on my blogging, so sorry!! Ill try to give you all a quick summary (in pictures of course!)
Jill's House has been having a lot of fun! We take regular trips to the Strong Museum of Play, Story Hour at the Highland Library, the Public Market, as well as our neighborhood playground (we love the Linden Street Playground!) It has been a mild winter, so we havent had much time to play in the snow, but have had a couple chances to make snowmen (or snow women!)

Another Mom and I asked our librarian if we could include a project at the end of her storytime and she said YES! We try to tie our projects to her weekly theme and its been a big hit!
This is NOT your typical January in Rochester! I promise!!
we have been celebrating quite a few birthday recently! Skylar turned 4! Keira turned 5! Simon turned 3!
here is Skylar on her big day:
The wizard of Oz exhibit is at the museum right now, I couldnt get the kids interested until Simon found the Farm area, now its a new favorite!
Projects sponsored by the Highland Library branch!
Jill has turned the back porch into an art center, its being well used!
To make life even more fun, we have been hanging out with our good friends Zosima, Giada and their Nanny, Dora, more kids makes for more fun! We get together and play and bake a lot!
Life is sooooo good, I thank God for making my passion possible! I thank all my families for their trust and love, I thank my landlord for allowing me to do this here, I thank my neighbor downstairs for putting up with the noise! I thank the library for being their for us, for my neighborhood for being so wonderful, I thank YOU for whatever part you play!
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!

About Me
- Jill Carlier
- Rochester, New York, United States
- Jill of all Trades is run by myself, Jill Carlier... Hi! I live in the Highland Park Neighborhood of Rochester, NY. My goal in life has always been to live in and serve my neighborhood in order to simplify my life and help others. I will help you with your kids, your pets, your home, your plants and anything else you might need help with! I graduated from SUNY Brockport in the fall of 1987 with a dual degree in Psychology and Teaching. I have a wide resume of career activities starting with babysitting to camp counselor, Nanny, caterer, daycare provider, group home counselor/manager, kitchen manager, receptionist, and more! Since my calling appears to be helping people and I have been referred to as a "Jill of all Trades" I figured, why not? So, here I am! I look forward to meeting and working with you!
