I’ve lived around St. Louis my whole life, been a mom for fourteen years and an at-home mom for a good chunk of that time. I’ve spent many a day looking for free stuff to do with my own kids, my Cub Scouts or my friend’s kids–and now I want to share!
I’ve visited other cities with my family and could NOT believe how much it costs to entertain them. The St. Louis CVC looked at a bunch of other cities and could not find ONE town that beat St. Louis in free stuff for families.
If you want to keep track off all the free stuff I find for you to do with your kids, you can follow me on Twitter and Facebook or just Subscribe to get me in your reader.
