Found a spot that works for both you and the kiddos? Tell us, we want to know about it.

Until next week,

P.S. Forward this to a parent who is still trying to figure out what to do during their kiddo’s wake window.

P.P.S. Want to partner with us? Have an event we should highlight? We work with brands that parents actually want in their lives (you know, the ones that don't make us choose between "kid-friendly" and "still cool"). Email us at [email protected] if that sounds like you.

Click the option that fits, and feel free to tell us why. We read every response because we're nosy like that.
