Cut to the chase. Take me to the Momsense. Even after two and a half years of scouting and blogging, I am still amazed by all the wonderful activities that are available to us FREE of charge through our public libraries. Between all the terrific play areas, drop-in classes and other children’s programs offered at […]
Hartford Public Library – Downtown Branch
Cut to the chase. Take me to the Momsense. I’m rather surprised that I have lived in the Hartford area for over seven years and never visited the Hartford Public Library’s Downtown Branch. The downtown branch is located right on Main Street, just down from the Wadsworth Atheneum and City Hall. It is a beautiful […]

At the meeting, we enjoyed a lively discussion about our favorite topic: places to go and things to do with little ones. One […]
Rocky Hill Library
Cut to the chase. Take me to the Momsense. Libraries really are a frugal mom’s (and dad’s!) best friends. You can check out a childhood worth of bedtime stories. You can find classes and storytimes for both babies and big kids. You can visit play areas stocked with toys, books, and computers. All for the […]
Simsbury Library
Cut to the chase. Take me to the Momsense. I’m usually a somewhat organized person. I put together a schedule for our family early in the month and make sure that I include an outing each week that is new and, hopefully, something I can post about. Sometimes, though, the best laid plans just don’t work […]
Storytime at Wethersfield Library
A few weeks ago, Shawna, Boo, Sparkles, Bruiser, and I all ventured out to visit a new-to-me library. The destination: Wethersfield.

As it turns out, this is actually excellent timing because non-resident registration for the spring session is coming up in just a few days on March 19th (residents already registered March 8th-13th).
