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 […]
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 […]
More Inflatable Fun at Jump-n-Jammin in Bristol
2016 Update: This venue has closed permanently. Cut to the chase. Take me to the Momsense. Apparently Shawna and I had the same idea for kids activities last week. She took Boo to Inflatable Adventure Zone in Manchester and I took my crew to Jump-n-Jammin in Bristol. With the ridiculously cold temperatures facing us […]

Disney’s Art of Animation Resort
Cut to the chase. Take me to the Momsense. We have been doing a lot of celebrating around here over the past few weeks. We celebrated Christmas, then New Year’s and then the big event of the twins turning two. As part of their multi-week birthday celebration (you do really need more than just one […]
Feathers, Scales, and Things with Tails at the Eleanor Buck Wolf Nature Center
Cut to the chase. Take me to the Momsense. I always find January to be such a dreary time of year. All the sparkly holiday decorations are packed away making mantels and landscapes alike look heartbreakingly bare. There’s often a coat of crusty snow–or more likely ice–covering the ground, sometimes making it difficult to do […]

This giveaway is now closed. Congratulations to Stephanie S., winner of the family four pack of tickets to Disney On Ice at the Hartford XL Center.

The Connecticut Science Center
Update October 2014: This past summer, the Science Center made a few changes.  They changed their admissions policy from ages 3 and under being FREE to ages 2 and under being FREE.  This update was made because they added more exhibits for preschool aged children.  The Science Center also changed their in-house food option from a […]
