As summer draws to a close, fall events are in full swing in Boston. There’s a Friday night film at the Frog Pond, South Boston Street Festival on Saturday, and Artful Explorations in Lincoln and Family Farm Day in Ipswich on Sunday. Our best bets for the weekend are below, and be sure to check our Event Calendar for other options.
Also this week, Tara rounds up a few places just a short drive from Boston where your child can celebrate their birthday with friends and family, and I volunteer at the Museum of Science for a day. Our newest contributor, Celeste, shares her experiences at a Family Nurturing Center’s (FNC) free parent-child playgroups. She joins Kristin Quinn, who this week took her daughter to the new carousel on the Rose Kennedy Greenway, and Rachel, who shares some quick weeknight dinners and how to get your child to help out. (By the way, we’re always looking for good writers, so if you are interested in contributing to Mommy Poppins Boston, please contact us!)
The clock is ticking on our Swagapalooza Giveaway, but you still have a chance to snag some awesome back-to-school swag. Act fast for your shot at a Target gift card, KRE-O CityVille Invasion building sets, or a boy's or girl's Schwinn bike.
Enjoy!
