May 2013 Roundup
Well, it is almost June and it is HOT. Some of us (especially those of us who are, ahem, 32 weeks pregnant) might even be waxing a bit nostalgic about those chilly days in April we complained about so much. But before we plunge into summer (and various bodies of cool, refreshing water), let’s take […]
Wordless Wednesday: Touch a Truck
My kids are obsessed with trucks. Well not even just trucks. Cars, emergency vehicles, city buses, school buses, you name it, they like it.

Wordless Wednesday: The Heat is On
Was it really in the high 80’s yesterday? All I know is that it was hot, hot, hot. I really wanted to take the kids to a spray pad, but they don’t open in West Hartford until this weekend (Yes. Fernridge, Kennedy and Wolcott spray pads open May 25, 2013!) So we headed over to […]
Buckingham Road Playground in Avon
Cut to the chase. Take me to the Momsense. Some of you may be reading the title to this post and thinking, “Wait. Didn’t Shawna just write about Buckingham Playground?”. Well, the answer is yes. But, thankfully, there are at least two playgrounds in Connecticut with the name Buckingham. And I say “thankfully” because, for […]
Another Hidden Gem in Glastonbury: Buckingham Park
Cut to the chase. Take me to the Momsense. One of my favorite parts of writing this blog is when our readers clue us in to fabulous new places that we didn’t even know existed (especially when they are practically in my own backyard!). Such was the case with Buckingham Park in Glastonbury, CT. Located […]
Wordless Wednesday: Mother’s Day Brunch
This year for Mother’s Day, hubby and Boo surprised me with a fancy-ish brunch at The Adams Mill in Manchester, CT. Throughout the past seven years that we’ve lived in CT, I’d heard so much about this restaurant fashioned in an old paper mill building, that I was always dropping hints about wanting to try it out.
