Happy Mother’s Day to all the mom’s out there! I hope you feel loved and celebrated every day 💖

The Save the Date section is hugely expanded today through 6/23 (4x the length of this weekend’s events) so get your calendars out! On that note, a reminder that my weekend events updates are curated and do not include everything, but include what sounds most interesting to me. I prioritize events that are inclusive, low cost, accessible and unique.
