Heidi Gollub started Free Fun in Austin [https://www.freefuninaustin.com] in 2010as a way to get out of doing housework. Her theory was that running her fourkids all over town on adventures for material to write about was a prettyawesome excuse for not doing dishes. This worked swimmingly as her husbandbought into her “I’m too busy being a good mother to bother with dusting”routine and people not even related to her began visiting the website. Free FunIn Austin [https://www.freefuninaustin.com] was voted Best Hyperlocal Blog in the2010 Austin Blogger Awards, was a winner of the 2012 Statesman Social Mediaawards and a Critics Pick in The Austin Chronicle’s 2011 Best of Austin. It evenled to other fun gigs, like writing the “Sizzle Sights” travel column forParent:Wise magazine and working as a contributing writer on several websites.All things considered, her kids don’t really need clean clothes, right?
