Hi there, busy parents. Thanks for taking the time to check out the newest Grab & Go Kids Planner, which is filled with the top family-friendly activities that are right in your very neck of the woods (or just a stone’s throw away).
Ooh—did you hear of a fun event in the pipeline? One going on currently?

Oh, for shame, did we suggest an activity that induced meltdowns in all family members? Well let us know that information as well—we at Santa Monica Patch always want to hear from you!
