So this week is car seat safety week, and I thought, what better time for a post about an event that has become an essential part of my life since Boo was born–actually, even before Boo was born: the FREE Car Seat Check-up run by the South Windsor Police Department (and hosted by the South Windsor […]
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.

Playground at Ross Field is a Preschooler’s Paradise
Last week Mandy shared her “secret playground” in West Hartford, and this week I’m going to clue you in to my “secret playground” east of the river here in Glastonbury. I guess it’s not so much of a secret playground as it is a hidden playground. It’s one of those places where if someone hasn’t […]
