What I Needed Most as a Springfield Mom

Let me tell you what nobody told me when I became a mom. I didn't need another parenting philosophy — I needed practical help for a regular day in Springfield, Missouri. In this video: somewhere to actually GO with the kids, the details that matter (shade, toddler-friendly, stroller-friendly, storytime times), affordable and free fun close to home, community with other local moms, help without judgment, and permission to keep a good day simple. This video is an original summary inspired by the post on The 417 Mom blog — read the full post here: https://the417mom.blogspot.com/search?q=Wh...
