Fall is my favorite season. I know that technically we still have a few more weeks of summer left, but in my mind, once we’ve passed Labor Day, it’s fall. One of my favorite fall activities is apple picking, and that’s just what I had wanted to do over the long Labor Day weekend. We […]

Throwback Thursdays: Jessica’s Garden
I know I’ve been mostly MIA over the past several weeks (okay, okay, completely MIA 🙂 ), and if you have been following our blog you may know that’s because I welcomed my newest family member, a beautiful baby boy, at the end of July. And because I have the absolute best blogging partner a […]
Bodie’s Place Playground
Cut to the chase. Take me to the Momsense. One of my favorite types of outings is to scope out new playgrounds. It’s easy, it’s cheap, and it’s a great excuse to go for a drive to a new (to me) corner of our state. For this excursion, we decided to check out Bodie’s […]

Wordless Wednesday: Family Photo Shoot
Right before Boo turned one, we had a professional family photo shoot to commemorate the occasion. I loved all the pictures, and I plastered them all over my house, not to mention holiday cards, holiday gifts, calendars, etc. Last year when Boo was turning two, I never quite got my act together to get us […]
Preschool Playdate at Bounce U in Rocky Hill
UPDATE 10/24/18: We are sad to report that this location is now closed 🙁 2013 POST Cut to the chase. Take me to the Momsense. Way back when it was cold outside (remember those days?) and I was looking for fun indoor activities where we could stay warm, I stumbled upon Bounce U’s website and […]
