Quick Questions

What will I receive?

Every Thursday morning, you'll get a curated email with 5-7 handpicked family events for the upcoming weekend in Livingston, Maplewood, South Orange, Millburn, and Short Hills. We include age ranges, costs, and practical details for each event.

How much does it cost?

It's 100% free. No credit card, no trial period, no upsells. We're building this resource for our community and will eventually partner with local businesses to sponsor it.

Can I unsubscribe?

Who makes this?

We're local parents in Livingston who got tired of spending hours researching weekend plans. So we built this for ourselves — and now we're sharing it with you.
