Note from the Editor…

Thank you for picking up the Knoxville Kids’ Directory. As a mom of three busy boys, I know the value of information that makes your life easier. I hope this directory does just that! The fall is such an exciting time of going back to school, cooler weather, UT football games and other fall activities. Inside you will find our Calendar of Events and our Dine on a Dime section that lists restaurants that offer free or discounted kid’s meals.

This issue includes our birthday party guide and is filled with lots of great ideas to make your child’s birthday extra special. There is a lot of information included for fun and different party location ideas. I hope you will feel inspired to plan the perfect party!

I love living in Knoxville and have a passion for encouraging and helping busy moms. I know from experience that the days are long, but the years are short. Enjoy every moment with your precious kids and remember to laugh along the way. Thanks again for supporting the Knoxville Kids’ Directory.
