I am currently working on the Child-friendly Directory of this website, and I find that I am collecting a number of links to resources--blogs, newsletters, meetup groups--which are being created by and for local parents. So, I've created a category to feature these links, called Local Parent Groups and Websites, which includes both meetup.com groups and blogs, (and the title may evolve to support cottage industry products as well.) It is absolutely free to put a listing in the Directory, so please contact me if you have a project and are interested in a link exchange or partnering in some way.
My favourite new resource by a local parent is a blog written by Eleanor and her 2.5 year old son, who have made it their mission to find the best playgrounds in Victoria. She started this without ever seeing my original blog, so obviously great minds think alike! Eleanor focuses on playgrounds and both her list and dedication are phenomenal; plus, readers can rate their favourite parks out of 5 stars and vote for the playground of the week. Follow along with their journey at Swings and Roundabouts.
