About Naomi
I grew up traipsing around the woods of Maine and have loved getting back to my New England roots after living in Pennsylvania for 15+ years. While I always have an itch to venture off to far-off places, I enjoy exploring my backyard and am forever curious about the stories that each place has to tell. My husband Rich and I have been discovering everyday adventures and creating lifelong memories throughout our new home state. We’re here to provide you with a high-quality resource for the very best of Connecticut in any season!
