Tuesday’s are for the Park!!

Tuesday’s are for the Park.
Had this idea.... and I hope you will join us!  

This summer, we just want to play.  
I then had this crazy idea that other people would want to play with us.  
Problem
- Weekends in the summer are intense 
(does ANYONE even have a free weekend between now and Labor Day?).
- How would we even see our friends?  
We try and get out as much as possible -- but sometimes it’s really hard to make plans with everyone, and there’s ALWAYS friends who we TRY to see but it never works out…  
The Solution
A standing Tuesday Playdate!!!
Every Tuesday we will be getting out of the house and heading to a park!  
A different park around CT.


Earlier in the day usually feels better for us-- and many of the parks/splash pads open around 9 or 10 am -- if we get there early, we will get prime parking, it's not too hot yet, it gets us up and out the door, and maybe will even get us a car nap on the way home
(or detour to an ice cream place!)
Who is the WE*??
*We = ANYONE who wants to join us!   
We (Amy & Colleen) will create a facebook invite so you can see what park we will be heading too and can let us know if you’re coming.


Please... share with your friends! We would love to make lots of new friends!!!
SPECIAL NOTE: I know not everyone is a teacher and has the summer free for a weekday playdate, however, I think if this works out, we can and WILL make a weekend or evening playdate!!
It can be something that we even plan for throughout the year!

THE LIST*


Date
Location
Time
Notes:
June 26th
Hubbard Park
10:00 - 12:00
I plan on parking
near-ish the playground
and hitting that first, then wandering around
-- going over towards the
waterfall, and maybe
walking around
Mirror Lake!
Definitely also plan on
bringing lunch with us!
July 3rd
567 Fern Street

Riverside Park
300 Welles Street
Glastonbury, CT 06033

Drive towards the
boathouse, you will see
the parking lots!

There’s plenty of parking,
two enclosed
playgrounds side by side,
with a pavilion in one for shade and snacks!


**Might try and do a little
snack or lunch by the
river before we head
out!**
July 17th
66 Thomas Street
Middletown, CT
10:00-12:00
Thinking 10am for this,

The Middletown Press
called this playground
the “Rolls-Royce” of
playscapes!!

TBD

July 31st
TBD

*This list is clearly open to suggestions!  I will be working on it A LOT in the next few days.  

It’s really overwhelming to find a “perfect” playground.

Mom...The Potty Flipped Over

Just when you think you've got it all together.... Your son comes to tell you that there is poop on the floor.  So even though he's been potty trained for a nearly a year and ASKS for privacy when he goes, there are still mishaps.  Like, well this: He was such an easy kid to potty train...a few skittles here, a few there and BAM, bye bye diapers.  Yet, he has his quirks.  For instance, I am not sure why his own private potty ended up getting flipped over, but I do know that he was in there building a fortress with toilet paper.  It's what he does - I don't know, I tend to think it's creative and not destructive. I think my mistake was loading up the shelf with fresh new rolls (I did that at 7am).  It was all just too exciting for him. And so even though this was the first day in history that both children slept until 8am allowing me to deep clean the bathroom (again at 7am) I was right back at it at 11am. Please remind me of this as I have a ...

A few years ago I heard the phrase "self-care".  In fact, it was a doctor who looked me square in the face and asked me "what do you do for self-care?" I had (no joke) NEVER heard this phrase before.  NEVER.  It must have shown on my face, but she didn't even flinch and went on to ask what I did for myself.  Like without guilt to take care of myself.  I thought for a minute and listed off things like sleeping in once a week, morning showers, taking the long way home from work while listening to murder podcasts (the usual??) These apparently are not things that count as self-care.  (I mean I guess they are a little bit, but she wanted to examples of what I was doing to better my self-worth and happiness).  Even now that school started, I can't think of much -- actually,  sometimes I leave work early and eat my yogurt in my car and listen to my murder podcast for an extra 15 minutes. I find that recently there has even been a push for self-c...

Guest Post - They Won't Get It, They'll Think I'm an Awful Mom

Guest Post:  Alicia is a friend from high school who is a full-time working mom of one adorable boy, Cooper.  She's also building a make-up empire and blowing up Facebook with wildly entertaining videos and tutorials.  She makes everything look easy, which is why this blog is just that much more important.  Thanks for sharing Alicia. I was asked to write something MONTHS ago, and I promise, the commitment to put my thoughts on paper has never left my mind.  I’m embarrassed it took me this long.  But to be honest, I couldn’t get myself to write down my story, because if I did, it would somehow make my failures more real.  (Sure, I know we’re always the hardest on ourselves, and I know I’m not a failure, but the thoughts, “could I have done better…can I DO better?” constantly run through my mind.) Let me step back for a second.  It took my husband and I well over a year to get pregnant with Cooper.  Two heartbreaking miscarriages, lo...
