It had been over a year since we last took Boo to see the model train layouts at Time Machine Hobby in Manchester, so a few weekends ago we decided to go for another visit. The store always has some pretty neat model train sets that you can see anytime you go in, but every […]

OAAM Tiny Diner Series: Maggie McFly’s in Glastonbury
Cut to the chase. Take me to the Momsense. We moved to Glastonbury about seven years ago, and in that time the location at 40 Glastonbury Boulevard has housed at least three different eating establishments, the most recent of which is Maggie McFly’s, a Connecticut-based eatery with three other locations in the state. I’m not sure […]
Wordless Wednesday: The Lutz Museum
So yesterday, Mandy and I happened to run into each other at the Lutz Museum in Manchester. Totally random, I swear! Although, I guess it’s not so surprising given that the Lutz is such a great destination for those of us with preschoolers. We’ve been big fans ever since Mandy’s first visit to the Lutz […]
Providence Children’s Museum
Cut to the chase. Take me to the Momsense. Before we get into today’s post, I just want to wish everyone a very happy Valentine’s Day! I loved Mandy’s idea for a Valentine’s photo card, so I made one for all of our readers 🙂 Of course, while I was looking for a cute photo […]

I know, I know. First, I give you a post about walking trails while we’re having sub-freezing temperatures, and now I’m presenting you with a playground post the day before a blizzard. You must think I have gone off the deep end! Well, I apologize for my rotten timing, but I have a good reason. […]
Wordless Wednesday: Are you ready for winter break?
February school vacation will be here before you know it, and even those of us without school-age children are busy prepping our entertainment plan. Boo is enrolled in three classes right now–a library storytime class, a music class through our community center, and a playgroup at a private preschool–and NONE of them are meeting during […]
January 2013 Roundup
Now that we’re well into the new year, we’re trying to get back into the swing of things here at Out and About Mom. That means a return of the monthly roundup where you can get a snapshot of all the fabulous adventures we’ve had over the past month. It’s a great way to look […]
Nevers Park Walking Trails
Cut to the chase. Take me to the Momsense. Okay. So you might have seen the title of this post, glanced at the weather report, and then thought: is this girl crazy? Why is she telling me about outdoor walking paths when the temperature is barely making it into double digits? Well, when the weather […]
Wordless Wednesday: A Bright Red Sled
It’s been a snowy winter so far, and Boo is lovin’ it 🙂 So I thought I’d post a few pictures of his latest adventures in snow pants. Boo’s Nana and Papa got him this cherry red sled when he was only a few months old. He loved it then… And he REALLY loves it […]
