Wordless Wednesday: Scott’s Orchard Fall Festival
Before we get wordless (well, at least a little less wordy than usual), don’t forget to check out our What to Expect Book Series GIVEAWAY! Think these books are just for the preggers ladies? Not so! This set comes with books on ‘what to expect’ for the first and second years of your baby’s life […]
Central Park Zoo in New York City
This past weekend, I made the possibly crazy decision to meet up with my sisters in New York City. Well, I guess normally that isn’t a crazy thing, but with three little kids in tow, it definitely seemed like a bit of a wild adventure. We were only in New York for two days, but somehow […]
Giveaway: What to Expect Book Series
This giveaway is now closed. Do you remember when you found out you were pregnant? What an amazing time. Were you like me and immediately ran out to the store to buy every pregnancy magazine and book you could get your hands on? If you did, I’m betting one of the books in today’s giveaway was […]
South Windsor Police Car Seat Check-up
So this week is car seat safety week, and I thought, what better time for a post about an event that has become an essential part of my life since Boo was born–actually, even before Boo was born: the FREE Car Seat Check-up run by the South Windsor Police Department (and hosted by the South Windsor […]
Wordless Wednesday: Sunday Morning Breakfast
We enjoyed breakfast at Rose’s Berry Farm this past Sunday. With three kids under the age of two in tow, this is one of the only breakfast places where we can actually enjoy ourselves with little to no stress. You sit outside, there are plenty of high chairs, they only have paper products, the table […]
Fish Family Farm
Just yesterday, my family and I went to visit a new-to-me dairy farm in Bolton, Connecticut. I first heard about this farm from one of our readers (thanks Mia!) and then heard about it again when the Lutz Children’s Museum held a fundraising event there a few weeks ago. So, on this beautiful Monday (when we were […]
Apple Picking at Belltown Hill Orchards
Cut to the chase. Take me to the Momsense. A few months ago you may remember my post on PYO peaches at Belltown Hill Orchards in Glastonbury, Connecticut. Well, on that visit I also got a tip that apple picking season would come early this year. And indeed it has. So two weekends ago we […]
Wordless Wednesday: It’s Fritter Time!
I just love all this cool weather we’ve had the past few days. It gets me so excited for all the Fall fun that’s just around the corner! And nothing says “Fall” quite like apples! I hate to play favorites, but these might just be the best apple fritters I’ve had yet. Check back tomorrow […]
Walter’s Boundless Playground at the Shoppes of Farmington Valley
Cut to the chase. Take me to the Momsense. Do you remember the post about Bruiser’s first haircut? Poor thing. I took him to Snip-its at the Shoppes at Farmington Valley. Well, since that visit several months ago, we have discovered a few more goodies at this great shopping destination. For one, you just heard last week […]
