Okay. What happened?! Two seconds ago I was putting on Boo’s Halloween costume, and now it’s the end of November already? Wait, what’s that they say about time flying? Maybe Mandy and I are just having too much fun 🙂 Let’s take a look at all the neat places we visited this month. 1. Check […]
West Hartford Library Series: Noah Webster Library
Cut to the chase. Take me to the Momsense. Today is the last day of my West Hartford library series and I am wrapping up my tour with a trip to the largest library in town, the Noah Webster Library. This library is located right in the heart of Blue Back Square and is also referred to as the Main […]

Rocky Hill Library
Cut to the chase. Take me to the Momsense. Libraries really are a frugal mom’s (and dad’s!) best friends. You can check out a childhood worth of bedtime stories. You can find classes and storytimes for both babies and big kids. You can visit play areas stocked with toys, books, and computers. All for the […]
