  • Indian Hammocks Park

    – With trees throughout the park this is the perfect place to enjoy a family bike ride or just have a nice picnic. The playgrounds are nice but they seem to be the only place that is not shaded, so be careful on those scorching hot days! This is also a popular spot for birthday parties.

  • Palmetto Bay Park

    – Palmetto Bay park has a lot to offer on a sunny Miami day. Although I did get a little lost trying to find it, I would still go again. The playground area is extremely large and has two playgrounds one for older kids and one for toddler age kids.  I love the fact that the actual playground area is shaded but it seems like there is no shade for the parents on the benches throughout the park.

  • Krafty Kids

    – As a child I enjoyed staying inside and drawing or doing some sort of craft rather than being outside playing. Now that I’m a mother, aunt and godmother I’m always encouraging the kids to be creative and to be proud of their drawings and crafts. From Micheals Craft’s to the Dollar Store there is always a place to buy supplies for your little artist. Recently I’ve been searching the internet to find modern and unique supplies. Check out some of my favorites below!
