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!!

My Active Child is an amazing resource for all things Kid-Related in Hampton Roads! Charlotte has done an amazing job pulling together so much information from each city for parents. Everyone should check out the website as adults can enjoy so many of the events as well!
