Valentine’s Day is around the corner! Get ready to celebrate with our Out and About Mom Valentine’s Day Guide for 2019. This year we’ve compiled a list of 10 activities and events for families that will teach, engage, inspire and encourage creativity. From hands-on projects and handmade gifts to snuggly storytimes, get ready to cuddle up with your little lovebirds and create some magical memories in honor of the official day of love
As usual, we’ve tried to keep this list of events to places that we have also been to and blogged about so that you can get a little “venue preview” and all those signature OAAM details before you head out. But if there is an event that you think we should add to our list (whether we have been there or not), please leave a comment on this post or email us at outandaboutmom@gmail.com.
