Sarah Parisi has lived in Chicago most of her life and has the parallel parking skills to prove it. Although she's always loved the city, she didn't fully appreciate it until she began exploring with her kids. In between caring for her three rambunctious boys with the help of her devoted husband, Sarah created ToddlingAroundChicagoland.com to share some of their experiences and hopes to encourage every family to discover all that Chicago and the surrounding areas have to offer. Sarah also authored The Ultimate Kids' Adventure Guide to Chicago, published by Reedy Press in 2017.
