Introducing Hulafrog...a free, local resource aimed at helping parents find fun family-friendly activities and local businesses

Hulafrog, a national network of local community guides for parents, has launched its latest website for the Novi-Commerce area.

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

Hulafrog answers many of the questions parents often ask each other such as β€œWhere can I take my toddler today? What’s the best place for my daughter’s 6th birthday party? Which preschool has the best reviews? or What can my family do this weekend?”

Hulafrog was launched in 2010 by Sherry Lombardi and Kerry Bowbliss, two serial entrepreneur moms out of the NYC area, who desperately 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 (the publisher) as a part-time business from home and covers about a dozen towns within a 15-mile radius.

The key to delivering a valuable resource to the community is being β€œcurrent and comprehensive,” says publisher Kristine Lewis, a mom of 2 who runs Hulafrog out of her home in Wixom. β€œOur site is brand new and already has hundreds of upcoming events and hundreds more businesses– from indoor play centers to kid-friendly restaurants to pediatricians – that matter to parents.”

Hulafrog also has many interactive features that make it even better as time passes and locals use it. All events and businesses can be loved by parentsβ€”or given a tip or comment. Subscribers get an β€œOur Pick” email alert with a heads up on key events for coming week and weekend, as well as some ideas for big upcoming events they won’t want to miss.
