If you’ve just landed here after watching our TV segment on NBC Connecticut this morning, welcome! We are two Connecticut moms who love to have new adventures with our kids…and write about them, of course 🙂
There are soooooo many reasons to love summer, especially this year after the seemingly eternal winter. Of course, here at Out and About Mom we love that summertime is filled with opportunies to sample all those warm-weather outings we have to abandon (or that just aren’t as much fun) in the winter months. In fact, we recently put together A Summer Bucket List for the Connecticut Mom highlighting 50 (that’s right, 50!) of our very favorites.
That’s why we are so excited to be able to showcase some super products to help make your summer safer, more stylish, and more fun. Read on for details about the unique items we shared in our TV segment, and don’t forget to check back here every Tuesday and Thursday when we post about great destinations for family-friendly fun in and around Connecticut. Also, you can like us on Facebook and Twitter to keep up with the latest posts and get some extra tidbits we share only through those sites.
Happy trails!
