I curate our area's best weekend events and local things to do, so you can figure out The Plan.
I’m a mom of two and have lived in South Salem for 6 years. I have been searching for a good hyper-local calendar & list of things to do forever. Anything to help me keep track of what’s going on, reccos on where to go, and real, authentic advice from local parents on whether it’s worth our time — so I can better plan our weekends.
It didn’t exist, so I just made my own. And because I hate gate-keeping and love building community, I made The Plan and shared it with all my friends.
Before The Plan, I had things saved everywhere:
... local event listings cluttering up my personal calendar
... snapshots of flyers in my Photos app
... an Instagram folder of saved events
... an unorganized list of Facebook events and screenshots of reccos from Facebook Groups
It was a mess. Sound familiar?
With The Plan, I’ve eliminated all of that for you. For just $5/m or $50 annually, you get:
an ad-free weekend events rundown, delivered to your inbox every Tuesday
access to The Plan calendar so you can get a jump-start on planning.
an “Ask an Expert” post every Monday – a column highlighting the recommendations of in-the-know locals with a niche expertise.
Free subscribers just get a weekend rundown email every Thursday afternoon.
Here’s what current subscribers are saying:
“The Plan makes parenting sooo much easier!" – Nancy, South Salem (Premium)
“I feel like it should be a mandatory written law for new families in our area to have to sign up for The Plan.” – Meg, Ridgefield (Premium)
“This calendar is life-changing. You’re the best.” – Kim, Waccabuc (Premium)
“My husband and I wait for The Plan to drop like how we used to wait for the new TimeOut to come out each week.” — Colleen, South Salem (Premium)
“OMG I love this.” – Tina, South Salem (Premium)
“One of my favorite emails every week!" – Katie, South Salem
“SUCH a great resource.” – Kelsey, Ridgefield
What areas does The Plan cover?
I curate family-friendly events and things-to-do in the hamlets of Vista, Lewisboro, and South Salem, as well as North Salem, Katonah, Ridgefield, Pound Ridge, Bedford, New Canaan and Mt. Kisco. Occasionally I'll throw in some must-see things in the river towns like Tarrytown or Sleepy Hollow.
Oh, and my kids are young, so you won't see any late-night concerts or, like, fancy whiskey tasting events on here. Message me if you have an event suggestion!
What’s my plan?
The Plan will survive if enough people want it to. I’d love to just give everything away for free, but to do that, I’d have to rely on advertising—which is exactly what frustrates me about so many parent resource sites out there. (Too many ads and hardly any curation.)
I’d love to have enough paying subscribers to support my work and keep this thing afloat. My paid subscriber rate right now is about average for Substack: about 9/10 people are reading for free.
So if you can, become a paid subscriber. If you can’t afford it right now, I get it. But if you can, I would greatly appreciate your support!
