"Listen To Your Mother": A Great Way to Celebrate Mother's Day

Things to do with kids: "Listen To Your Mother": A Great Way to Celebrate Mother's Day

As New Jersey editor, I am very excited to tell you about something that I'm doing--in New York City. If you're looking for a wonderful and unusual way to spend Mother's Day, consider coming out to the "Listen To Your Mother" reading series at Symphony Space! Showcasing moving, socially relevant and hilarious stories about motherhood from moms, non-moms and even a couple of dudes, "Listen To Your Mother" will be a memory-making end to the day that honors mothers everywhere. (Which means New Jersey, too, as there are five NJ writer/performers in the show!) Read on for all the exciting details about this Mommy Poppins-sponsored show.

We carefully choose 8 to 10 of our absolute faves for the upcoming month and May is full of delightfully spring-y activities like kite flying, horseback riding, baseball, some fireworks and a favorite Mommy Poppins exhibit which will be closing this month. Enjoy and Happy May!

Things to do with kids: Easter Weekend Fun for NJ Kids

It's Easter Weekend, it's early, and it's cold enough to snow on the Parade, but there are a plethora of outdoor and indoor events for New Jersey families to enjoy, nonetheless.
