This week we updated our Things to Do with Kids in CT Before They Grow up from 110 to 120 Things! Take a peak at our latest and greatest list and tell me what you can't wait to do this year. Thank you to everyone who contributed. This week we wrote about some great summer school camp options this summer as well as Nature Museums in Fairfield County. Have you been to Webb Mountain Discovery Zone in Monroe? Well, our writer Brandee has and she did a day trip post about it.
We so admire CT-Moms for their goal of collecting 20,000 diapers to distribute to moms and babies in need this month. Read more about it and the CT Summer Fun Expo that we are currently working on set for June 3rd at Westfield Post Shopping mall.
We love our subscribers, facebook friends and twitter followers! Follow us on pinterest too where we have great recipes, kid's room ideas and birthday party boards. Stay tuned for a special mother's day give away next week! Enjoy the warmer weekend. Oh! And for those of you wondering how the 8th grade party went with the teen bouncy house. It was a huge success even though I forced everyone to stay outside for 3 hours on a chilly and windy day!
