Cut to the chase. Take me to the Momsense. I’m sure you’ve noticed how beautiful the leaves in Connecticut have been this fall. With the warm weather we’ve experienced in the past weeks and the stunning color on display, I’ve tried to find as many excuses as I can to be outside. So my outing last week took […]
After School Treat at TCBY and Boundless Playground Fun in Bloomfield
Cut to the chase. Take me to the Momsense. I was flipping through one of those coupon magazines the other day and noticed an advertisement for TCBY. Normally I’m not a TCBY regular, but the special they were offering caught my eye. TCBY is a charge by the ounce spot (a little too much uncertainty for […]
The Enfield Rotary Accessible Playground
Cut to the chase. Take me to the Momsense. At the tippy top of our state is a town called Enfield, CT. I’ve noticed it on my drives to Springfield, MA, but never stopped to check it out. But after a few fabulous readers mentioned to me that a library/playground combination existed there, I knew […]
Bodie’s Place Playground
Cut to the chase. Take me to the Momsense. One of my favorite types of outings is to scope out new playgrounds. It’s easy, it’s cheap, and it’s a great excuse to go for a drive to a new (to me) corner of our state. For this excursion, we decided to check out Bodie’s […]

But, thankfully, there are at least two playgrounds in Connecticut with the name Buckingham. And I say “thankfully” because, for […]
Another Hidden Gem in Glastonbury: Buckingham Park

Such was the case with Buckingham Park in Glastonbury, CT. Located […]

Fun and Fitness at the Colchester RecPlex
Cut to the chase. Take me to the Momsense. It seems like it is raining all the time this fall, doesn’t it? So when the sun comes out, I am ready to find an outdoor activity ASAP. Well, a few weeks ago, a friend told me about a popular playground in Colchester, CT that is […]
Mikey’s Place Playground
Before we get started with today’s post, I have some exciting news to share with you. Back in March we reached a big milestone when our pageview counter hit 10,000 views (well, it was BIG for us, anyway!) Well, it took us 7 months to hit that 10,000 mark. But you know what? Not even […]
