I was thrilled when Sacramento Parent magazine asked me to write a series of articles through the summer months. (I have been a fan of Sacramento Parent magazine since I moved to Sacramento ten years ago with my first baby.) They asked if I would feature four local neighborhoods and highlight some unique ways to find adventure in each one. Each article can be found within the May – August magazines if you happened to pick them up. If not, the digital versions are available on Sacramento Parent’s website with the links below.
I tried to choose off-the-beaten-path destinations that are FREE or cheap and combine them with other fun things to do in the area. These ideas are all kid-tested and approved!

My love for exploring and creating experiences with my three kids led to the founding of SacramentoSidetracks.com in 2009. I realized that Sacramento has so much to offer and I was excited to share my findings with other parents. Besides simply having fun, these are the other positive side effects of taking my kids on outings that I’ve discovered: we have quality time together away from the distractions at home, we cultivate our curiosity, learn new things, conversations are triggered by what we see and do, we connect and bond as a family, and we create new memories. Ready to get sidetracked, too? Let me be your guide!
