Best Family Hotels, Jazz Festival + What’s On In May

Hello

Hi there Reader,

I know it’s the start of the school term – so just a quick question for you today.

Which describes you better? (Just click one, please.)

My youngest child is 5 years old and under

My youngest child is 6+ years old (not yet a tween)

My youngest child is 10+ years old (tweens and teens)

I’m asking because I NEVER want to be one of the 8732 unread emails in your inbox! Sure, I know your world doesn’t revolve around my emails but I try really hard to send only things that are interesting and helpful to you.

Clicking one will also take you to a helpful blog post for where you’re at right now. #woop

Thank you Reader!!
