Early Morning Donuts, Black History Month, College Planning
We recommend early morning bear claws, finding cash for college and bouncing off the walls.
For you, dear Patchers with tiny Patchers, we’ve assembled a weekly calendar of kid-friendly activities, places and events. Each week, we will feature five family-focused ideas to help you plan your week.
We know how busy life with kids can be, so we're happy to do the research for you and find fun things to do and places to go, both locally and within reasonable striking distance.
We also include links to help you learn more details about the places and events listed. Click around to get more information like pertinent phone numbers and addresses.

It is our goal to make the planner as reliable as possible, but keep in mind, some events change at the last minute.
Look for the Grab & Go Planner each Wednesday, and please help us build it better with your own suggestions and tips.
