Welcome to Sounds Fun Mom LLC-the South Sound’s Site For Family Fun!
My name is Maegen, and I’ve lived in the greater South Puget Sound most of my life. I founded this space in 2010 after searching unsuccessfully for one go to resource for families right around here. Don’t get me wrong-I think Seattle is great. I just don’t think family fun has to mean filling your gas tank or emptying your wallet!
Whether you’re looking for a great playground in University Place, a place to pick blueberries in Tacoma, or a nature hike in Renton, I’ve got you covered.
We post daily articles on places to go and things to do, with a huge weekend events guide up every Friday.
My husband and I are the parents of two wild, dirty boys born in 2003 and 2005. I’m proud to have been a junior high school teacher for over a decade and to hold a BA and MA in Education from Western Washington University (Go Vikings).
In addition to running this space, I do frequent freelance writing for local publications, and I love to speak to local groups.You can also find my work in South Sound Magazine and Parent Map online.
I run this site with the help of a team of freelance writers and assistants. Keri does most of the beautiful graphics you see and many of our round-ups. Tristin maintains our calendar, and we feature the work of several talented area writers, including Tabitha, Tiffany, and Julie. If you are a business looking for reviews of products geared towards children of a particular age, or if you need attendance at an event, we will work to assign the right person to your campaign.
