If you’ve ever searched “things to do (with kids) near me” and still ended up at the same park with the same problems, I know that feeling.
If you’ve ever felt awkward walking into a meeting or gave up reading the school handbook — same.
If you’ve ever thought, “There’s probably a better way to do this, but how?”
Hello, I’m Allison, and you my friend, are in the right place.
Why are we here?
Honestly? It’s because I text everyone with every new event and they all said I should just start a blog. I’m terminally online, a city services fanatic, and I love a good calendar.
Though, this blog isn’t just an event calendar. It’s a place to ask questions out loud, even the rough ones and figure out how to plug into our city in ways that feel real and doable.
What You’ll Find Here
- Local events worth leaving the house for
- Real life guides on parenting in the area.
- Tips on community engagement
- Small business shoutouts and my recs for hidden gems in the area.
- Favorite snacks, or fails, I’ve found along the way
Why You Should Stick Around
I’m not here to pretend I’m mom of the year. I want to ask questions out loud – the ones we’re too tired or too embarrassed to ask, and share what I’ve got.
I believe there’s power in understanding how things work.
I believe we don’t need to reinvent the wheel.
I believe parents deserve better tools, better information, and fewer hoops.
And most of all, I believe that knowing our city just a little bit more makes everything feel a bit more possible.
Let’s explore
If you have a question, tip, or a place you love, then let me know!
Let’s figure it all out one question at a time
With love,
Allison
