Milford Can Do Playground

June 25, 2017 By Becca Leave a Comment

Milford Can Do Playground

I am a self proclaimed playground aficionado. We have probably visited well over 100 playgrounds since I became a mom and each one is completely unique. I’ve even planned the installation of a playground in our community and in doing so gained a new appreciation for each and every piece of equipment at the places […]

Harriet Weatherill Park

If you’re looking to add on to your Philly adventures anytime soon, Harriet Weatherill Park is a great stop! This is one of the “newest” parks we’ve been to, in fact they were installing a ton of new trees on the day we were there. It’s only really been a public park since 2010 and only […]

Fairmount Park- Centennial Arboretum

Fairmount Park- Centennial Arboretum

May 29, 2021 By Becca Leave a Comment

What kind of mental picture do you get when you think of Philadelphia? Big cities are such a juxtaposition between beauty and filth in my personal opinion. Everywhere you look there are piles of trash, graffiti, and dilapidated buildings. Philly has more than its' fair share of those things BUT it … [Read More...]
