One of the best pieces of parenting advice I’ve ever been given is “there’s not much that water or fresh air can’t solve.” When you feel like you’re losing your mind or your kids just won’t stop fighting, get outside or find some water. For me, there are few things a good cup of coffee can’t fix! So here’s a list of Boise coffee shops near parks. No matter the weather, get outside and let the fresh air breathe new life into you and the kids.
