There is no shortage of internet sites or publications promoting San Diego’s kid-friendly attractions and family-oriented businesses. But as a new mom I quickly discovered that most were not comprehensive, meaning if a company had not paid to be an advertiser, they were usually excluded from the various lists, events calendars and blogs I viewed. My vision for the Mom’s Guide was to be inclusive and create a true resource for parents and a place where local businesses could promote themselves to the mommy market. The Mom’s Guide to San Diego lists every company that offers services in a select set of family-friendly business categories.
In 2008 The Mom’s Guide was created as a printed resource book and mailed to the 3,000 members of one of my favorite organizations, the Scripps Parent Connection. While the hard copy guide is still published annually, it also made sense to put a lot of the resource information online. TheMomsGuideToSanDiego.com offers the most up-to-date information about restaurants where kids eat free, fun family events and promotions.
Many businesses realize that one of the best ways to get you to sample their product or service is to offer a discount or a freebie. There are great coupons to be found on the mom’s guide online and even more to be had in the annual print version, which is something of a cross between an entertainment book, parenting magazine and business directory.

And if you are visiting this site and know of a company that is missing from its category, please send a comment to let us know or list your own business by clicking here.
