A Collection Site for Fun Things for Kids in Southeast Iowa
As a busy mom of a 7 1/2 year old, I find that I search newspapers and websites for activities for our family. I listen to other moms and have discovered there is a need for one place to find activities for children and families.
In order to make this happen, I need your help. Spread the word about this site and encourage providers of activities for kids to contact me through the site to get their event published.
