About a month ago, we put out a call for applications to join our first Parent Panel. Our goal is to have Long Island parents contributing to our site on a regular basis – reviewing events, local classes, places and products and talking about parenting from their own perspectives. We were truly overwhelmed by the response that we received when we opened applications. It was so difficult for our team to make the final decisions, but we are now very proud to present to you……
