BLOOMFIELD -- We're all a little bit like Dorothy, as she skipped down that vibrant path toward an important destination.

"Life is a journey. Parenting is a journey. We're all on this road," says Matt Connell, a father of two in West Hartford, and a founder of the newly launched website, Yellowbrick.me named for the concept illustrated in "The Wizard of Oz."

"Yellowbrick is an educational website that's focused on parenting," Christensen says of the site that covers everything from prenatal issues to grandparenting, as well as topics surrounding wellness, finances and technology.
