Welcome! |
If you have been looking for a way to find new parks, new places to go, new activites for your kids, new groups to connect with....but haven't found a comprehensive list, we hope you have found it here. We have made a calendar of events, a list of classes you could sign up for and other activities (museums, festivals, etc.) to attend. We have tried to collect activities for toddlers and pre-schoolers, but many of our activities are suitable for kids of all ages. Our focus is events in the southern part of Orange County (see map for our focus area).

Thanks to so many of your for emailing us events to keep our calendar updated! Thank you so much, they are wonderful!
Another fun website to check out is www.ocplayparks.com. It's a collection of parks throughout Orange County, complete with pictures, descriptions and other things to know. Thanks Play Park Mom for sending us your information! The website is great!
If you're into biking or hiking with the kiddos, check out this site about "Red Routes" (well-marked routes) to the kiddos on!
We were also referred to www.just-spotted.com. It's a website of resources throughout Orange County (mostly north Orange County) but has some information for moms anywhere!
Enjoy!

The 4th of July is coming up soon. We have added the local fireworks displays to the Calendar. Some cities have fireworks only, while others have street fairs, parades and other activities throughout the day. Please see our calendar for specifics for 4th of July activities for kids (& families) in South OC.
Have a fun and safe 4th of July!
We've talked for some time about making a website which has all the activities in the area that are appropriate for kids, and we have finally motivated ourselves to build one. It is still a work in progress. We are currently working on compiling a list and pictures of all the parks in Southern O.C. Hopefully that will be up-and-running soon. We've tried to include any activity that we have found that is appropriate for toddlers and pre-school kids. Please view our calendar page; it is filled with activities for kids and families. If you know of other events, activities or classes, please let us know. We will continue to build our list and post resources here.
In the meantime, please join our newsletter list. We will not use your email for anything except for sending our monthly newsletter of featured events & activities. (See link at left, under the menu, to create a username and password for yourself.) Also, please feel free to distribute this website address to any other parents and friends you have in South O.C.! Thanks for visiting, and we hope you'll visit regularly.
