The Tampa area has more than its fair share of family friendly activities, schools, camps, classes, childcare options... how does a parent keep track?
One answer: Hulafrog.
What is a Hulafrog, you ask? Well, it’s quite literally a frog, hoola-hooping, as you can see here:
With an attention getting name and an adorable logo leading the charge, the company's nationwide goal is to connect parents with local resources in their community. As most parents can relate, sometimes more time is spent searching for events, activities, pediatricians, schools & summer camps, etc., then is actually acting on these uniquely local opportunities. Enter your local Hulafrog.
Courtney Wine, Hulafrog's Managing Editor for the Wesley Chapel- Lutz area, explains that Hulafrog is "hyper local", which means the information shared within each Hulafrog subgroup are all within a 20-mile radius. Each Managing Editor becomes an expert in their local community. Courtney has been with Hulafrog for two years and works diligently to get local newsletters out each week, jam packed with information for families on upcoming activities & events. These include things to do for families with children mainly between ages of 0-12, such as library story times, Home Depot craft times, Chick-Fil-A family nights, holiday/summer camps & special interest classes, and much more. Not only does Hulafrog share events & activities but they also maintain a directory of things from birthday party venues, to dentist offices, to family photographers, to resources for families with special needs.
