Enfield Public Library’s Vehicle Day
UPDATE: For 2015, Enfield’s Vehicle Day will be Saturday, June 20th. Cut to the chase. Take me to the Momsense. It amazes me how everyday items can be so much more entertaining to my three-year-olds than any toy I could ever find. These day those “items” seem to be trucks and construction vehicles. Currently there […]

Exploring Nature at Fisher Meadows

March 2014 Roundup
I’m not even going to discuss the fact that we had a full-on snowstorm Monday morning in West Hartford. That morning was winter’s last hurrah and today’s sunshine and (relative) warmth was a reminder that the beautiful days of spring are here. (fingers crossed. knocking on wood. please, pretty please let that statement be true!) […]
