Things to do with a Baby/Toddler in Santa Fe, NM

Hi! Welcome to Santa Fam, and award-winning platform built for mamas and caregivers raising young children in Santa Fe! This website is meant to be a companion to our instagram - for the most up-to-date info, head on over to IG and give @_santafam_ a follow!

One day, I will have a concise way to describe what Santa Fam is, but for now, my long-winded post-partum brain’s way of explaining this space is: a community where al are welcome, to laugh/cry about the joys of raising children and the unniquenss of doing so in Santa Fe, NM, to share resrouces about everything from mental health to local businesses to support, to make friends, and to share space. Welcome!

The Santa Fam Cal

The “Santa Fam Cal” has become an invalubale community resource. A created, highly-monitoried calendar of fun, free/affordable events for kiddos ages 0-5ish. Please note, I try my absolute best to monitor this 24/7 but sometimes, organizers change info/cancel without any notification. Be mad at them - not me :)

Caregiving is…

There are so many ways to describe caregiving. For me, motherhood has pushed and pulled me in ways I didn’t expect but what I’ve realized is how vital it is to have community whilst going through it.

We have built this sweet community to share the many resources and activities there are in Santa Fe, New Mexico for our tiniest locals. It’s hard to find “your village” but I hope my page is a conduit for modern caregivers to find that support! Every week, I comb through various sources to help you find things to do in Santa Fe, New Mexico. This is a space to share resources, to collect information, and to make friends!

The CommuniTea

  • Julia O'Hara, AMI & Horme Studio Founder

    “Meghan consistently finds great activities for parents or caregivers to do with their children every day of the week and shares her own child’s experience, demonstrating that the activities she finds are fun for the whole family.”

  • Laurie’s customers, Fernando and Kate embracing by the lake on their wedding day.

  • Alex Herold, Mama & Patti + Ricky CEO

    “As a first-time mom Meghan’s support is exactly what I needed to get my son and I in the car and make friends with other parents in our community. I never knew there were so many free and affordable kid activities in Santa Fe. Every Sunday evening I utilize Megan’s Google Calendar to schedule our week full of educational and fun local activities for our son. These activities are just as much for me as they are for my son.”
