When Shawna and I redesigned our site late last year, we decided to narrow our topics into three main categories. Our new site is keeping us more focused and we are happy to post within the following three topics– eat, shop and play. Most things are just for women and sometimes our posts include the family/kids.
So what is is the PLAY category all about? It’s basically “everything else” outside of eating/dining/cooking and shopping/products/sales. “Play” covers everything from travel to entertainment/plays/concerts, from books to movies, including activities, recreation and more.
To share a few different play topics, I decided to post a listing of fun events that our readers might like to know about and participate in in the upcoming months.
