Mr. Lester's Steakhouse is the first place that comes to my mind.  That would be a great place to be a mom.  But, this post isn't about a good place to be locally.  It's a breakdown of where moms/kids are healthiest, and where the education and economy provide an environment conducive to proper parenting.  Here's a highlight of the list available from www.savethechildren.org.
