Happy Monday morning – time to hit the ground running…

• Clean House. Just one more week till school & classes resume. Make the most of your last week by attacking the to-do list. We’re thinking a clean sweep of your munchkin’s closet, bookshelves and toy boxes. Pack up anything gently used and hit the donation boxes. Get the little ones in on the fun – we’re thinking impromptu fashion shows, story times and dress up galore.
• Elevate Equality. Thursday marks Women’s Equality Day and the 90th anniversary of the 19th amendment (granting women the right to vote). Celebrate with an inspiring trip to HistoryMiami for a Q&A with Coral Gables-based women’s rights leader Roxcy Bolton. Bolton founded NOW’s Miami chapter, created a shelter for homeless women & was instrumental in founding the first rape treatment center at Jackson – and she’s still hard at work. Chat with the local legend at 11am, then head to the Beach at 6pm for celebratory marching, music & mingling on Lincoln Road.
• Dine with Diego. Treat Dora & Diego lovers to the ultimate lunch Saturday as Diego hits MetroZoo for a character meet & greet and buffet lunch. Invest $29-$40 (depending on age & membership) and treat munchkins to hours of animal gazing, kid-friendly souvenirs and lunch boxes. RSVP by Tuesday and pack plenty of water – it promises to be a hot morning.
• Weekend Plan. Is it Friday yet? Lots to look forward to! Viernes Culturales arrives on Calle Ocho, Miami Spice rolls on, Fairchild grants free admission and the Scott Rakow Center celebrates Family Day.
