MONTHLY TAG-ME GIVEAWAY

If you go to any of these places and share about it, please tag me as your resource guide for finding the fun with kids in San Diego and you'll be entered in my monthly tag-me giveaway. It truly means so much for me and helps me out more than you know. If you tag me in your posts and stories please make it visibly seen (hiding tags doesn't count).
And if you have a similar account where you also share about "kid-friendly fun in San Diego", as you know, it takes a lot of time and work to gather this information so if you learn about a new place or idea from me, please tag me as your source. All of this is public information, but it takes me HOURS to compile, visit, write, edit, photograph, and create these sharable posts. Thanks in advance for your integrity.
