For decades, folks from Glastonbury and beyond have flocked to one the season’s most anticipated events: The Apple Harvest Festival. And this year, the 38th annual Apple Harvest Festival happening this coming Saturday October 13th and Sunday October 14th, will be no exception. In fact, there are some brand new attractions being rolled out for […]
Glastonbury Multi-Use Trail
Cut to the chase. Take me to the Momsense. Isn’t this the perfect time of year to get outside and take a walk? The heat and humidity are gone. The air has that perfect little invigorating chill to it. And the turning leaves make every landscape scene look postcard-perfect. Sometimes, however, it can be challenging […]
September Roundup
Pssst! Don’t forget about our latest GIVEAWAY for the entire What to Expect book series! Enter here. School is in, leaves are changing, and super market aisles are filling up fast with bright bags of Halloween candy. Yup. It’s officially Fall in New England. But before we run full-speed into the long holiday season ahead, let’s […]
Wordless Wednesday: Scott’s Orchard Fall Festival
Before we get wordless (well, at least a little less wordy than usual), don’t forget to check out our What to Expect Book Series GIVEAWAY! Think these books are just for the preggers ladies? Not so! This set comes with books on ‘what to expect’ for the first and second years of your baby’s life […]
South Windsor Police Car Seat Check-up
So this week is car seat safety week, and I thought, what better time for a post about an event that has become an essential part of my life since Boo was born–actually, even before Boo was born: the FREE Car Seat Check-up run by the South Windsor Police Department (and hosted by the South Windsor […]
Apple Picking at Belltown Hill Orchards
Cut to the chase. Take me to the Momsense. A few months ago you may remember my post on PYO peaches at Belltown Hill Orchards in Glastonbury, Connecticut. Well, on that visit I also got a tip that apple picking season would come early this year. And indeed it has. So two weekends ago we […]
Wordless Wednesday: It’s Fritter Time!
I just love all this cool weather we’ve had the past few days. It gets me so excited for all the Fall fun that’s just around the corner! And nothing says “Fall” quite like apples! I hate to play favorites, but these might just be the best apple fritters I’ve had yet. Check back tomorrow […]
Guest Post: Baby Boot Camp
Today, we are thrilled to have Brenda Holian back with us for another guest post. You may remember her post a few weeks back where she explained all the benefits of pre- and post- natal exercise. Well, if you were feeling inspired by her words of wisdom, I’ve got great news! Today Brenda is going […]
Wordless Wednesday: Fall Fun
If Memorial Day Weekend is the unofficial start of Summer, then Labor Day Weekend is the unofficial start of Fall. Many of the fabulous Fall activities around our state kick off this weekend or soon after. So I thought we’d have a little fun on this Wordless Wednesday. Each photo below was taken on one […]
OAAM Tiny Diner Series: Buffalo Wild Wings
Cut to the chase. Take me to the Momsense. Despite the popular belief held by my friends and family, particularly my husband, I actually do look forward to the start of football season. The game itself I could take or leave, but I love any excuse to head out for hot wings, host a get-together, […]
