Summer Fun & Best Mom St. Louis Book Signing with Tara L. Smith

Bring the kids for a summer fun event on our chess patio and meet Saint Louis-area author and mom-influencer Tara L. Smith! Smith will be here to autograph copies of her new book, Best Mom St. Louis, a compilation of the best activities for families to enjoy in the city. Cool off with complimentary make-your-own snow cones from Kona Ice, play “duck” chess with our giant pieces, make some crafts, and save 20% on children’s gifts at Q Boutique!
Tara L. Smith has lived much of her life in the Saint Louis area. As a mom blogger for over 15 years, she is the voice behind SeeingDandy.com. Her blog has been featured on News 4 Great Day, Show Me St. Louis and Farmhouse Style magazine. When not behind the keyboard, you’ll find her hiking or traveling with her husband and four children, crafting with friends, and eating out at one of her favorite local restaurants that she likes to frequent on rotation. She can also be found doing her main job, which is “mom taxi service,” taking her kids to all their activities.
