Each city presents its own challenges to the people living within, and the same can be said about having children. Each child is different, presenting his or her own challenges to you, the mom. If you've recently moved from a horse farm in London, Ontario it can be a bit of a culture shock, for both you and your kids, to be suddenly dumped into the middle of one of the biggest cities on the East Coast. Not to worry, though. I've been a Boston mom for many years now (no, I won't tell you how many!) and I know all the ins and outs. Through this website, I'll share them with you.

If you listen to the tourism blurbs, Boston is one of the most livable cities in the United States. As long as that means it's got lots of things to buy and you and your kids can walk down the street (most of the time) without being worried about your safety, then I would say it's true. Where this statement gets a bit dicey is when you start trying to afford it. Unless you've won a massive amount of money in a car sweepstakes contest, you and your significant other are probably both going to have to work unless you want to find yourself living in a two bedroom apartment on the dodgy side of town, because the properties here are expensive!
