Just yesterday, my family and I went to visit a new-to-me dairy farm in Bolton, Connecticut. I first heard about this farm from one of our readers (thanks Mia!) and then heard about it again when the Lutz Children’s Museum held a fundraising event there a few weeks ago. So, on this beautiful Monday (when we were […]
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 […]
Walter’s Boundless Playground at the Shoppes of Farmington Valley
Cut to the chase. Take me to the Momsense. Do you remember the post about Bruiser’s first haircut? Poor thing. I took him to Snip-its at the Shoppes at Farmington Valley. Well, since that visit several months ago, we have discovered a few more goodies at this great shopping destination. For one, you just heard last week […]

Boston Children’s Museum
For this week’s post I am venturing out of Connecticut and visiting one of our neighboring states, Massachusetts. My husband’s friend from college was going to be visiting Boston, Massachusetts with his family and we decided to pop over for a visit. The weather forecast was not good for the day we were planning on […]
August Roundup
It’s time for another monthly roundup! I can’t believe that summer is pretty much over and that the kids are all heading back to school. But as Shawna mentioned in her Wordless Wednesday post this week, Fall is just around the corner and there are so many fun Fall activities awaiting us. The other good […]
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, […]
