My little crew has a new obsession — All they want to do, every single day, is ride their bikes. Each afternoon, on the way home from school, the question begins as soon as they get in the car. “Can we ride our bikes when we get home?” Now they are even asking to ride […]
Exploring Nature at Fisher Meadows
Cut to the chase. Take me to the Momsense. The pictures from today’s post are a bit old.

Little Hikes for Little Tikes at Wintergreen Woods in Wethersfield
Cut to the chase. Take me to the Momsense. If there’s one positive thing I can say about the frosty, snowy, dreary, loooooong winter that we just experienced, it’s that it has made me enjoy these first lovely spring days even more. Lately my outing mantra has been: I don’t care what we do, so […]
