#10Years! This selfie features many women who have been central to keeping SpringfieldMoms.org alive in the Greater Springfield area.  We all met through the creation of this website, and without their continual support, ideas and outreach, we would not have grown to be YOUR online resource for families and so MUCH more!
It's our favorite time of year to head to the pumpkin patches, corn mazes and fall festivals that have become your traditions and hopefully a few NEW ones to try as well! Enter HERE and check back weekly for updates and our Spooky Guide in development!
Don't miss the leaf identification & collection hikes offered at Washington Park and Lincoln Memorial Garden. The hikes are perfect for children with leaf assignments, but it's fun for all ages!
