Sept 10- Sept 16 in South Florida

Here is your Weekly Update to Everything "Mom" in the South Florida Tri-County area. I always update throughout the week as I receive updates on things going on so you may want to check back occasionally. 
As always, Please follow the link or call ahead to see if details on events have changed/updated- or if I have made a rare- but possible- mistake.
If I have missed something, or if you know of or are planning an upcoming event- shoot me a message with all the details.
Contest starting next week and I should have a Facebook page up very soon to help with planning and being the "first to know".
Happy Planning....
