In one of my old posts about shopping, I used to put one of my kids in the shopping cart and carry the other in a baby bjorn. Well, they have finally graduated to being able to ride in the double cart at Target. Yay! Now shopping is much easier for me. Though I do […]

Everyday Fun at the Farmington Library
Last week I wrote a post about the Tots and Tunes class at the Farmington Library. This week I wanted to let you know that you don’t just have to wait for a class to go for a visit. There are plenty of fun activities for the kids at the Main Library in Farmington, Connecticut. […]

No, it would be a replica of the famous (well, famous to Rhode Island natives like ourselves anyway) Providence and Worcester railroad […]
Play and Explore at the Stepping Stones Museum

Kids Rule at Kidcity
Cut to the chase. Take me to the Momsense. UPDATE 1/17/15: BIG NEWS! After nearly two years of renovation, Kidcity has opened their brand new room! It’s called “Middleshire” and it’s a pint-sized medieval village complete with a farm, a bakery, a tavern and many other opportunities for creative play! (This room replaces the “Corn […]
