Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!
After a very long hiatus, we finally have some new content in Springfield! A new mini-event went live in our games yesterday morning…The Real Moms of Springfield. Of course, an all-new mini-event means all new premium content in our stores, just tempting us to drop those pink sprinkles!
As we all know, that limited-time label can tempt us to grab everything in sight because it’ll be gone soon. But don’t sweat it! That’s where we come in to tell you what’s worth those donuts and what you might want to hold off on.

Final Thought
Premium or Freemium:
As the only new premium combo with this event, and really in forever, it’s a good buy. She’ll help with the mini-event and every kid needs their mom, right?
Of course, in the end, it’s your decision, we can only tell you what we would or wouldn’t do…and as a premium player, I already picked it up. But whatever you decide, just make sure you make your final decision before it leaves our games for good (or for now).
