Sunday stRoLl
Walking together through parenthood.
Build community with other new and expectant parents as we walk the Evanston lakefront. This walking group provides ample opportunity for bonding with other parents over shared experiences as you grow your family, along with providing a place to ask questions and navigate common challenges.
Walks are led by Michelle Engleman, Doula and Evanston mom of two.
