📆Issue No. 58 - March 7-8, 2026

Happy Friday, friends!

Just like on my computer, there are always a hundred tabs open in my brain. This week, they’ve all been pointed at SF. I’ve been narrowing down my favorite restaurants, businesses, activities, things to do with my kiddo, and everything in between. We’ll be sharing some of our favorite things on our social channels, but we want to hear from you too. What are your SF favorites and what are you currently loving to do with your kiddo(s) in the city? And if we could sit down with anyone behind the things you love, who would it be, and what would you want to ask? Reply here or reach us at [email protected].

Now, let’s get into the weekend. Enjoy!

Lunar New Year. Year of the horse celebrations continue with the Chinese New Year Parade happening tomorrow (Saturday) and the Community Street Fair happening all weekend. With temps expected to hit 70s this weekend, it’s the perfect opportunity to get outside and soak up some culture and community.

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.
