Cut to the chase. Take me to the Momsense. Yesterday I began a series on the three libraries located in West Hartford and kicked it off with a virtual tour of the newly renovated Bishops Corner Library. While it was on the small side, it had a lot to offer including the fact that it was […]
West Hartford Library Series: Bishops Corner Library
Cut to the chase. Take me to the Momsense. Last week, Shawna and I had the opportunity to speak to a wonderful group of moms who are part of the Avon MOPS (Mothers of Preschoolers) organization. At the meeting, we enjoyed a lively discussion about our favorite topic: places to go and things to do with little ones. One […]
Wordless Wednesday: Veterans Memorial Park Playground in Hebron
It was so chilly this morning! Brrrr. Made me realize that I better show you all these pics of a new-to-me playground in Hebron, CT before it gets too cold for anyone to play outside! Several weeks ago, hubby and I were desperate to get the boys out of the house for a couple hours, […]
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 […]
Rainbow Playground in Southington
Cut to the chase. Take me to the Momsense. Pop quiz. What’s the only thing better than finding an amazing Boundless Playground with tons of fun for kids of all ages and abilities? Finding one that’s completely fenced-in, of course! So today I’m going to give you a little tour of a new-to-me place to […]
A Playground with a View at Simsbury Farms
Cut to the chase. Take me to the Momsense. I’m sure you’ve noticed how beautiful the leaves in Connecticut have been this fall. With the warm weather we’ve experienced in the past weeks and the stunning color on display, I’ve tried to find as many excuses as I can to be outside. So my outing last week took […]
A New Children’s Museum on the Connecticut Scene: KidsPlay in Torrington

Please check Kidsplay’s website for the most recent details on ticket prices, hours, exhibits, and more. —————————————— Thank you […]
After School Treat at TCBY and Boundless Playground Fun in Bloomfield
Cut to the chase. Take me to the Momsense. I was flipping through one of those coupon magazines the other day and noticed an advertisement for TCBY. Normally I’m not a TCBY regular, but the special they were offering caught my eye. TCBY is a charge by the ounce spot (a little too much uncertainty for […]
The Enfield Rotary Accessible Playground
Cut to the chase. Take me to the Momsense. At the tippy top of our state is a town called Enfield, CT. I’ve noticed it on my drives to Springfield, MA, but never stopped to check it out. But after a few fabulous readers mentioned to me that a library/playground combination existed there, I knew […]
Bodie’s Place Playground
Cut to the chase. Take me to the Momsense. One of my favorite types of outings is to scope out new playgrounds. It’s easy, it’s cheap, and it’s a great excuse to go for a drive to a new (to me) corner of our state. For this excursion, we decided to check out Bodie’s […]
