Storytime at Wethersfield Library
A few weeks ago, Shawna, Boo, Sparkles, Bruiser, and I all ventured out to visit a new-to-me library. The destination: Wethersfield.
Something Fun for Everyone at Elm Ridge Park
UPDATE 3/3/20: There’s a BRAND NEW playscape in this park! Hope to post about it soon– stay tuned! Back in February, I wrote about our Dinosaur State Park adventure. As you probably know, this famous park is located in Rocky Hill, Connecticut. But what you may not know, is that Rocky Hill has another great […]
A Tale of Two Playgrounds: Goodwin and Addison
The weather was so beautiful this past weekend that Boo and I made it to not one, but TWO new playgrounds. On Saturday we scouted out Goodwin Park in Hartford, Connecticut, and on Sunday we headed over to Addison Park in Glastonbury, Connecticut. I considered keeping you in suspense about the second one for another […]
Toddler Playtime at Wolcott Park
Isn’t it beautiful this week? Doesn’t it just make you want to get out of the house and enjoy the weather? Well, if you have a child in the age range of 0-5, let me make a suggestion: the playground at Wolcott Park in West Hartford, Connecticut. The park is located not far from West […]
One is W-One-derful Class at The Glastonbury Library
Today, I am finally going to tell you about Boo’s latest library class. No last minute changes or discoveries to lead me astray.

Cutting a Rug at the Tots and Tunes Class
UPDATE 1/28/16: This post was written in 2012 and while it should still give you a good idea of the overall experience of this activity, it is possible that some information may be out of date. Please be sure to check the Farmington Library’s website for the most up-to-date information, especially concerning things like hours and schedules. […]
Tiny Trains are Tons of Fun at Time Machine Toy and Hobby
Several weeks ago, hubby announced, apropos of nothing, that he had decided to build a model train set in our (dank, unfinished) basement. This would not just be any ol’ stretch of track. No, it would be a replica of the famous (well, famous to Rhode Island natives like ourselves anyway) Providence and Worcester railroad […]
Avon Library
An updated post for the Avon Free Public Library is now available on our site. Check out the details from our 2014 visit here. As Shawna and I continue our exploration of Connecticut libraries, last week we ventured over to the Avon Library. I find it funny that the library name is Avon Free Public […]
