Real Simple is, in my humble opinion, the best magazine to just chill out with after the kids go to bed. (What, you’re reading CQ?)

I have an extra copy of the Feb. 08 issue all brand spanking new in plastic. I’ll send it to the reader that e-mails me the most original favorite thing to do in Silver Spring with kids. Send your ideas and a mailing address to jessica dot mcfadden at g mail dot com. Then I’ll post the list of fresh ideas for all of us to enjoy (omitting last names and email and snail addresses, of course.)
