Parents' Survival Guide 2025

Welcome to Parenthood in Marin


Whether you are new or native to Marin, new or seasoned at parenting, acclimating to life involves figuring out what works for you and changing things up every so often. Resources recommended by other parents are invaluable and can be hard to find in one place. Fortunately, the Southern Marin Mothers' Club (SMMC) community is here to help with a compilation of contributions from our members in The Parents' Survival Guide.

The Parents' Survival Guide was originally published as a book and passed out to members in 2016. In 2021, we updated the content with an online version. We hope you enjoy this latest print version in 2025!

Special thanks to Veronica Gilrane for leading, and to Cristina Arellano, Em-J Staples, Nina Kaiser, Kathleen M, Sarah Dobrovolny, Shannon Kaiser, Bridgit Strauss, Jen Mooney and Karen Nguyen for executing this 2025 update to the Parents' Survival Guide.
