Being Savvy Here, There, and Everywhere!
Because we have some amazing news for all of you.
Starting today, Being Savvy will be bringing you local blogs in 18 cities (that's right 18!) around the country.
So let's say you are looking for
- fun and educational things to do with your preschoolers in Atlanta or Austin
- places for them to run, jump, climb and generally exhaust themselves in Chicago or Charleston
- the very best birthday bakeries in Denver or Detroit
- info on the (kid-friendly) music scene in Nashville or New Orleans
- smart tips on visiting art museums with your little ones in San Francisco or San Antonio
- ways to pass rainy or sunny days in Seattle or San Diego
- 99 things not to miss doing with your kids before they grow up in Columbus, Houston, Indianapolis, Kansas City, Tampa or Washington, DC!
Our city experts, all proud parents of preschool types, will be posting daily on parks, kiddie classes, museums, zoos, schools, eateries, libraries, weekend outings, party ideas, book and toy stores, ice cream parlors, playgroups and parent groups and anything else they can think of to help you and your kids make the most of these fair cities. You'll find everyday and off-beat activities, the latest thing to do, the tried and true -- in short, everything you need to know to help your preschoolers thrive!
And there's more good news: a dozen other city blogs are soon to follow. Stay tuned!
Now if that's not all about you and yours, we don't know what is.
