I built this because I wanted the plan done and to see my mom friends more than once a year. She handles both.

How it works

Effortless plans.
And your people in them.

📬 Friday at 4pm, a plan drops in Telegram. Every week, without asking.

👋

Tell Frankie your deal

City, kids' ages, budget, vibe. One quick convo and she knows what to recommend.

📬

Get your Friday plan

Every Friday at 4pm, a plan built for your family lands in Telegram. Real spots, current events, your preferences front of mind. No Googling required.

💬

Ask anything, anytime

"Free stuff this weekend?" "Rainy day ideas?" "Snack inspo?" Frankie knows whatsup in OC.

👯

Your people end up in it

Tell Frankie you're headed somewhere and she gives your connected friends a heads up. No separate RSVP needed. Frankie does the nudging. Sometimes you just end up in the same place.

Two things. Both handled.

What Frankie actually does for you

Your plan

A weekend plan built for your family. Every week. Without asking.

Every Friday at 4pm, Frankie sends a plan that knows your kids, your budget, your neighborhood, and what you already have going on. Real OC events. Named spots. No listicles.

📅 Works around your existing calendar

📌 Remembers your saved spots and uses them

💬 Ask anytime — rainy day, free stuff, close to home

🍦 The Frankie Passport — a quarterly punchcard of free perks at OC venues, included in your membership

🧠 Gets smarter the more you use it

Why Frankie knows what she's talking about

Built on real OC intel

📰

You get Frances's actual OC picks, every week

Frances curates real OC events for 3,500 local parents every week. Frankie pulls directly from that — not a generic events API scraped from Yelp.

🔍

This weekend's real events, not last month's list

Frankie searches for this specific Saturday and Sunday in your neighborhood. Not an evergreen list. Not last month's events.

📌

Your favorites actually show up in the plan

Tell Frankie about a park or restaurant you love. She remembers it and actually puts it in your plan. Not a list you manage — a memory she uses.

👯

You'll know when a friend's weekend lines up with yours

If a connected friend is going somewhere similar this weekend, Frankie gives you a heads up. Optional, but kind of the best part.

From a real beta tester

"I already like it more than a newsletter because I am not overwhelmed with all the different options and then end up not doing any of them. The recommendations are actually pretty good and interesting because I didn't even know about some of them."
