I so wish there was someone in my local area that put together lists like this. If you don’t mind me asking, does it take you FOREVER to compile this list? Is there a single source you use or multiple sites? I live in Charleston, SC and I can’t even find anything like this for here.
Great job! I’m sure mamas in your area appreciate it.
Thanks for asking! It doesn’t take forever….but it is one of the posts I spend the most time on per week. A lot of the activities stay the same each week. I have lists of the usual places I go to for activities, then I search the local papers, google and also get suggestions from my readers. I LOVE it when people tell me of fun things to add.
I really love finding new activities each week, there is always something that I feel my family would enjoy. I bet there is someone who does something similar in your area?? Maybe google “free activities in Charleston.” or “fun things to do in Charleston.”
Good Luck! and thanks for reading!
BTW…it takes about an hour to do the post each week. Sometimes 2 if it is really late and I am tired. But I really try to limit myself to 20 minutes of blogging per day.
