☀️ Just Another Tuesday or So I Thought... on the Main Line

LOCAL STORIES, BUZZ + AN EVENT ROUNDUP FOR THE 'BURBS
It started as just an ordinary Tuesday. Connor had been up early, and I woke Hannah to get ready for Nursery School. We went through the usual morning routine—cereal, getting dressed, then strapping Connor into his car seat. Hannah, all of three years old, climbed in with her oversized backpack, always excited to see her bestie, Molly. With my little six-month-old in tow, I thought I had the day mapped out.
After drop-off, I treated myself to a much-needed Starbucks run.
Experience the raw emotion and riveting drama of A Chorus Line. The sensational musical that gives voice to the faceless wonders of Broadway—the chorus dancers.
This groundbreaking show, a winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Drama and numerous Tony Awards, delves deep into the personal struggles, ambitions, and intricate lives of seventeen dancers vying for just eight spots in a Broadway production. Details
“Thank you for the invaluable support, personal mentoring, and coaching that you gave our daughter during her college application process. You are an unbelievably special, brilliant, and gifted advisor. Your kind and caring approach helped her discover aspects of herself and find her voice. She experienced so much joy and connection in working with you, and we thank you for helping her blossom as a person throughout this process.” — Parent Testimonial, June 2025
The team at AH&A sees the high school years as time for tremendous growth and self-discovery. Through a holistic approach grounded in mentorship, we nurture both educational and emotional development. In addition to our core college consulting, test prep, and academic services, we offer mindfulness coaching, executive function support, and a strength-based perspective that builds confidence across learning styles, developmental stages, and abilities.
Our students are admitted to highly selective schools but our mission goes deeper. At our core, we are educators and mentors, committed to shaping thoughtful, resilient, and socially-conscious young adults.
If our approach resonates, we invite you to schedule a free consultation.

I've been on the hunt for a very specific trellis for our garden. Not something I'd find at Home Depot or Home Goods. I'm picturing something old, a little weathered, maybe a bit quirky. Vintage, but not too vintage. I can't actually describe it, but I'll know it when I see it. Of course, I could find something beautiful at...
