Back when I was in the last weeks of my pregnancy with Boo, Hubby and I went out for dinner to the Chili’s in Glastonbury. I was (yet again) craving that big skillet of meaty queso and chips, which seemed to magically, if only temporarily, relieve the pangs of late pregnancy. Anyway, we were enjoying […]
OAAM Tiny Diner Series: The Famous Shady Glen
Cut to the chase. Take me to the Momsense. A few weeks ago, we were trying to think of a way to get out of the house on a cold Sunday morning. We decided to head over to the Time Machine Hobby Shop to see the giant model train layout (see some pics of that […]

Wordless Wednesday: Time for Trains!
It had been over a year since we last took Boo to see the model train layouts at Time Machine Hobby in Manchester, so a few weekends ago we decided to go for another visit. The store always has some pretty neat model train sets that you can see anytime you go in, but every […]

OAAM Tiny Diner Series: Maggie McFly’s in Glastonbury
Cut to the chase. Take me to the Momsense. We moved to Glastonbury about seven years ago, and in that time the location at 40 Glastonbury Boulevard has housed at least three different eating establishments, the most recent of which is Maggie McFly’s, a Connecticut-based eatery with three other locations in the state. I’m not sure […]
Wordless Wednesday: The Lutz Museum
So yesterday, Mandy and I happened to run into each other at the Lutz Museum in Manchester. Totally random, I swear! Although, I guess it’s not so surprising given that the Lutz is such a great destination for those of us with preschoolers. We’ve been big fans ever since Mandy’s first visit to the Lutz […]
Providence Children’s Museum
Cut to the chase. Take me to the Momsense. Before we get into today’s post, I just want to wish everyone a very happy Valentine’s Day! I loved Mandy’s idea for a Valentine’s photo card, so I made one for all of our readers 🙂 Of course, while I was looking for a cute photo […]
Mill Woods Park Playground
I know, I know. First, I give you a post about walking trails while we’re having sub-freezing temperatures, and now I’m presenting you with a playground post the day before a blizzard. You must think I have gone off the deep end! Well, I apologize for my rotten timing, but I have a good reason. […]
Wordless Wednesday: Are you ready for winter break?
February school vacation will be here before you know it, and even those of us without school-age children are busy prepping our entertainment plan. Boo is enrolled in three classes right now–a library storytime class, a music class through our community center, and a playgroup at a private preschool–and NONE of them are meeting during […]
