March 2013 Roundup
Well, it’s been another month of bundling up, dodging the snowflakes, and trying to find fun indoor activities to keep us all entertained as we anxiously await the arrival of spring. So let’s scroll down memory lane and see how we survived the last weeks of winter. (Of course, when we are all complaining about […]
Wordless Wednesday: Airplane Entertainment
During a recent chat with a childhood friend our conversation turned to the topic of flying with children. She is a mom of four and a veteran flyer. As we chatted about my family’s upcoming trip and my hope that things would go smoothly traveling with the twins and baby girl, she offered me an […]
Kidcity: A Two Year Old’s Perspective

Please be sure to check their website for the most up-to-date information, especially about […]
Learn and Play: Kids’ Classes at the Lutz Children’s Museum
Cut to the chase. Take me to the Momsense. We love the Lutz Children’s Museum. It’s more proof that good things come in small packages.

OAAM Tiny Diner Series: The Famous Shady Glen
Cut to the chase. Take me to the Momsense. A few weeks ago, we were trying to think of a way to get out of the house on a cold Sunday morning. We decided to head over to the Time Machine Hobby Shop to see the giant model train layout (see some pics of that […]
Wordless Wednesday: A Challenge
On Monday, we took advantage of the reciprocity program through our membership at the CT Science Center and went to visit Mystic Aquarium. While we were there, I, as usual, was taking way too many pictures with my camera. I was trying to capture the fun of the moment and maybe get some shots for a future […]
Guest Post: Meet the Publisher of Hulafrog
Today we are joined by my friend and fellow West Hartford mommy, Annie Steckroth. Annie and I first met at our local library when our kids were in a class together, but we see each other all the time as we venture out and about with our little ones. I thought that Annie was a […]
