About me

I am a mom of four young children between the ages of 2 and 8... We stay BUSY! But between school, sports, and normal "life" obligations, we are always looking for something new and fun to do. We want to make the most of our moments together as a family, and I'm sure you do too! I've lived in the Canton-Woodstock area for about ten years, and have found North Georgia to be our home-away-from-home. From hikes in the mountains to awesome festivals, we LOVE North Georgia, so I am thrilled to dive in on researching North Georgia events and creating a one-stop-shop for families looking for local fun!
