Got Kids? Get Hulafrog!- a Go-To Site for Parents

Wondering what to do with the kids this weekend?  Look no further.  Hulafrog, a national network of local community guides for families, has launched its latest website in the Cleveland area.  The site promises parents a daily dose of the best local activities, destinations, deals and other resources for kids.

Hulafrog answers many of the questions parents often ask each other every day like “Where can I take my antsy toddler this morning?”  “What’s the best place for my daughter’s 6th birthday party?”   “Which preschool do parents love most?” or “What should my family do this weekend?”

Hulafrog was launched in 2010 by Sherry Lombardi and Kerry Bowbliss, two media entrepreneurs out of the NYC area, who needed a better way to keep track of all there was for kids to do in their community.  Since then, local Hulafrog sites have been debuting across the country.  Each site is run by a mom (or dad) as a part-time business from home and covers towns within a 15-mile radius.

The site is easy to use, current, and mobile.  Publisher Jessica Keller, a mom of three, runs Hulafrog out of her home on the west side of Cleveland.  There are currently hundreds of events and local businesses that matter most to parents, with more being added each day.
