Such a all-around wonderful group and resource for ALL families. I had family coming from out of town, and I told them about MyActiveChild. They were so amazed at all it offered and shared. They were jealous their local area didn't offer anything like it. I love that they feature Free events as well. I love it because it helps keep me on track when looking for things-to-do and events with my family, instead of going down "rabbit holes" of research. I struggle with executive dysfunction, and it keep my to-do list full! All Around wonderful group, and a major plus is they do giveaways!!
