Happy New Year!
If the holidays busted your budget, we have lots of FREE fun for the family this week, January 5-11! Don’t miss Second Sunday at the High Museum this Sunday where you can enjoy free admission and family fun from 1-4 p.m. We are excited about bringing you information about fun and free (or very cheap) activities that you can do with your little ones. New this year – we’ve decided to widen our net a bit as it relates to activities. While the primary focus will remain on Atlanta proper (read: ITP), you will see more activities included for our OTP mommies as well.
We love seeing you out and about with your kid(s). If you attend any of our MAMC Atlanta Activities, be sure to snap a quick pic and share it with us by using the hashtag #MAMCintheCity!
