Whew! That’s a lot of news. If you have something you’d like me to post that you believe will benefit the DC area parenting community, send it to me. Maybe I’ll post it, maybe I’ll add it to the calendar. Maybe I’ll simply vacuum my rug and play Monopoly with the kids…you never know! I’m probably more likely to post it if you have a familiarity with the goals of A Parent in Silver Spring and your offering is of service to others. If you’d like to obtain a guaranteed & permanent placement on APISS, the site’s always open to family-friendly advertisers at budget-friendly rates.
