We all struggle to find ways to keep the kids off tablets. With yet another day off of school coming up, we’ve compiled a list of MLK Day 2023 camps, classes, ways to serve and little road trips to do with the wee ones. Thanks so much to our brand new calendar sponsor, the lovely Anna P. Krolikowska Attorney at Law, a Collaborative Divorce Practitioner.
