5. Magic Mondays at the Atlanta History Center are back starting on September 12 at 10am! This was one of my favorite monthly programs when my daughter was in preschool...something I am going to truly miss now that she is in Kindergarten. Enjoy the special program designed for kids 18 months to 5 years old and then walk the beautiful Connor Brown Discovery Trail. You can now purchase tickets online but it's ok to just show up.

6. There's a new chef in town - Young Chef's Academy of Marietta and they are offering a "First Class" special of just $15. Find the full details on their website home page but don't delay, the promotion ends September 15th. You have until March 2012 to use your "First Class" pass. The new location is on Chastain Meadows Parkway. Check out all the fun they are having on Facebook!

7. My Cobb Kids and I are waiting on the edge of our seats for the new "jumpy" place to open...Catch Air of Marietta takes the indoor playground to a whole new level. It's not your usual inflatable play center! The have finished their construction and are just waiting for their inspections to be complete so they will be ready any day! They are also located on Chastain Meadows Parkway. Follow the Marietta location on Facebook.
