💜🧡 When you are able to find time to break away from your busy mom schedule, it’s nice to go and hang out with the gals. October is a jam-packed month full of opportunities to grab your girls and get away—whether that means dressing up for a night out on the town or gathering around the kitchen island in your favorite lounge wear.

🥏🥍 While sports like basketball, baseball, gymnastics, and football get a lot of attention in our area, there are many fun less-traditional kids sports around Birmingham, too! Sports of all kinds are a great way to increase physical activity, develop character, forge friendships, and learn the importance of teamwork. Thankfully, we live near many leagues and clubs that can support your children as they grow in their athletic skill and confidence, no matter what sport they choose.
