Can you believe we’re just two days away from the spookiest night of the year?! I mean, really, how is it Halloween already??? At this rate, Thanksgiving is going to be like, next week 🙂 But you know what they say– time flies when you’re having fun. And if there’s one thing we know how […]

So I know this is technically our “September” sponsor post, but can I just pause a moment to say, wait a minute, how did it get to be October already??? Seems like just yesterday I was putting Boo on the school bus for the first time. Has it really been over a month? Indeed it […]

Can you believe the summer is coming to an end?! I feel like it was just yesterday we were saying goodbye to our preschool teachers and looking forward to lots of fun summer camps and outings! Despite this latest heat wave, fall is certainly upon us. Four of our five kiddos have gone off to school […]

Wow. The summer is just flying by, isn’t it?! We’ve been loving longer days, impromptu adventures, ice cream binges, soaking up sunshine, and all kinds of outdoor activities that make even us parents feel like kids. When Mother Nature turned up the heat, we responded with our popular “Places to Cool off in Connecticut” post. And […]

Summertime fun is in full swing here at Out and About Mom. We’ve already been criss-crossing the state, heading out to find new warm-weather destinations to share with our readers.

As I start to write this little monthly post where we run down all the fun things we’ve been up to over the past 30 days or so, I cannot even believe that May has flow by so quickly! I also can’t believe that it already feels like August (hello 80+ degrees!). I mean, it […]

Oh my goodness, don’t look now but I think spring has finally made it to New England! Well, it’s about time, right? Now we can really make good use of Mandy’s fantastic playground roundup that she posted a few weeks back: It also means there’s even more reason to check out some of our favorite indoor/outdoor venues, […]

Well, we’ve done all we can to try to will it to be spring around these parts. We put together a list of fun Easter activities: We compiled a guide to our top 10 Connecticut parks: And we even appeared on Better Connecticut today to talk about a few of our favorite springtime destinations. And yet, […]

Wow. Can you believe that February is almost over? This month flew by! Despite the never-ending snow, we’ve managed to stay sane around here by finding new places for indoor fun (like here and here) and even embracing the snowy weather (like here). Plus, we put together a list of more than 40 indoor play destinations […]

The new year has been off to a quiet start for us at Out and About Mom. We’ve taken a little break from our hectic media schedule to focus on some other aspects of our site, and we even let Mandy (gasp!) take a vacation and spend some time with her family without being chained to […]
