Most of these we have already posted on Facebook, but hopefully our readers will find this handy-dandy list helpful. The following activities are happening this weekend (June 9th […]
Mikey’s Place Playground
Before we get started with today’s post, I have some exciting news to share with you. Back in March we reached a big milestone when our pageview counter hit 10,000 views (well, it was BIG for us, anyway!) Well, it took us 7 months to hit that 10,000 mark. But you know what? Not even […]

Now I’m not going to tell […]

OAAM Parks and Playgrounds Preview
You’ve probably noticed that we love our parks and playgrounds here at Out and About Mom. Here are a few reasons why: 1. They get us and the kiddos out of the house. 2. They are great places to meet up for playdates. 3. They are fun and interesting for both our kids and for […]
Playground at Ross Field is a Preschooler’s Paradise
