Best Instagram Account for Kids’ Activities

@notathomemom

Sometimes the worst part of taking your young kid somewhere is not really knowing the ins and outs of where you’re going. Like, “Oh crap, I parked five miles away from the actual playground.” Or like, “Damn, this place doesn’t have a spot where mom can pee.” Or even, “There’s zero shade here.” The Instagram account @notathomemom gives honest and informative reviews of creeks, pools, splash pads, parks and more. Maureen, the mom who runs the account, includes maps as well as notes about any little trip-ups she might’ve encountered while taking her toddler and infant out. Mercifully, it doesn’t feel like she’s trying to sell us anything — and believe me, the Momstagram world is full of that. AMANDA HAGGARD
