An Afternoon in Mystic, Connecticut

Mystic is a highlight of Connecticut and a place I visit a couple of times a year. It is almost two hours from my house, otherwise I would likely visit more. There is something special about the water, the village, the food and sightseeing, all giving me appreciation for living in Connecticut. We started our… Read More An Afternoon in Mystic, Connecticut

Connecticut State Parks Journeys: Hopeville Pond

Hopeville Pond State Park is certainly one to visit during the summer! While we did not go there to swim, there were lots of families enjoying the pond. It was an extremely hot day and we didn’t even get in a hike unfortunately. I imagine it’s a great lake to kayak or canoe. It took… Read More Connecticut State Parks Journeys: Hopeville Pond

Connecticut State Park Journeys: Squantz Pond

My kids and I are chugging along on our Connecticut State Park visits! I wasn’t fully prepared for Squantz Pond unfortunately. I would have packed swim suits, towels and flip flops if I had been ready. The water was clear and beautiful and I would love to have taken a dip in it. Next time.… Read More Connecticut State Park Journeys: Squantz Pond

Connecticut State Park Journeys: Kettletown

Hit my 30th Connecticut State Park! Only 77 more. I have a feeling I’ll be all over my state by the end of this summer 🙂 Like Indian Wells, Kettletown was one of the state parks closest to my home that I avoided since childhood. Old wives tales…lol My sister, my three kids and two… Read More Connecticut State Park Journeys: Kettletown

Feeling 22

We have all had that Taylor song in our heads coming into 2022 haven’t we?! Well, today I turn 44 and I think age is only as young as you feel. Luckily I feel pretty damn good. Having a January birthday means I’ve never been to my happy place on my birthday, the beach. Even… Read More Feeling 22

Connecticut State Park Journeys: Trout Brook Valley

I finished 2021 checking off another state park from my list! I have visited 29 of the 107 Connecticut State Parks so far. It’s not a sprint, it’s a marathon 🙂 This was a hike I did with my three kids, all did totally fine, an easier hike. We did almost four miles, but shorter… Read More Connecticut State Park Journeys: Trout Brook Valley

Connecticut State Park Journeys: Lamentation Mountain

My middle daughter fractured her foot in October so our hiking has been minimal. Boo. I’ve been able to go out with my sister a couple of times and we checked Lamentation off our state park list. We paired it with Giuffrida Park because Lamentation isn’t that big of a place. Here’s the track I… Read More Connecticut State Park Journeys: Lamentation Mountain

Five Autumn Moments

Took a break from blogging because, well, see below. It has been a breathtaking autumn here in Connecticut. I hold onto the beauty of autumn for as long as possible and mourn the leaves when they go. Hope you are all enjoying the fall!

Connecticut State Park Journeys: Hammonasset

Hammonasset is a state park I’ve visited a bunch of times, but mostly to swim at the beach. Recently I went to the state park to experience other parts of it. I drove to the Meig’s Point Nature Center to do some exploring. The nature center was closed unfortunately. Lots of people were camping at… Read More Connecticut State Park Journeys: Hammonasset

Connecticut State Parks Journeys: Indian Well

I’m not a superstitious person, but for some reason I held onto myths and legends I’d heard about Indian Well State Park and neglected to visit the state park that is closest to my home. I know someone who was seriously injured swimming in the river at Indian Well and have heard other stories of… Read More Connecticut State Parks Journeys: Indian Well

had a little tea (and mimosa) birthday morning on Saturday. 🫖 🧇 💕 #teaparty Birthday fun with my birthday twin! Happiest of birthdays to my niece! She wanted a Care Bear party and @modcloth came in clutch 👌🏻 #thisis3 #thisis45 #birthdaytwins #carebearsparty #mymodcloth Goal today, mentally picture myself on Black Sand Beach on the big Island of Hawai’i. Listening to the waves crash, feel the breeze in my hair and the soft sand in my feet as I walk along the shore. I talked a lot to that sea turtle as they stood there in complete chill mode #blacksandbeachhawaii #gobacktotheocean #mentalescape Lunching in beauty at Cava Restaurant in Southington CT #connecticut #cavarestaurant Ate in the pink ballerina room but after wandering around the Cinderella room was my fav 👑 🏰 (the Christmas room would have been the fav last month!) 🎅🏻 #cavarestaurant #connecticut #connecticutfood Too excited for the tiny bit of snow beauty
