but — we love hearing from our awesome readers and followers. Here’s what a few local moms had to share...
I wanted to share that Kids & Family NOLA is such a wonderful resource for local parents who are looking for anything and everything! I have found so many wonderful events and organizations through the magazine and website/ Facebook page. Thank you for all that you do to help parents and children connect to resources and be active in their communities! Tuba O. I love that Kids and Family shares deals and events going on in and around our community. I would be lost without yall! Thanks again:) Nicole H.
I have been a fan of kids And family NOLA for years, and I have loved it. The one thing I loved about it is how easy it is to find things to do around Nola with the kids thru your event calendar and magazine. It is so far the best app and magazine they have out here with information, details about everything that goes on in NOLA. I highly recommend it for family and friends. Especially with children of all ages!! Love it and will continue to use it!! Thank you Kids and Family NOLA for all the hard work you all do for us parents and kids to make this a fun and easy experience!! Karla P.
