I’m fortunate to be part of the Chicago Parent Blogger Network and to do freelance work for the publication that I am glad to call one of my writing homes. (You can find my pieces for them here.) I love that they cater to both kids and parents, and they plan to do just that with the\u00a0Chicago Parent Playdate on April 26<\/span><\/span> at The Accelerated Center in Northbrook, Illinois.<\/p>\n Here are the details of the Chicago Parent Playdate:<\/p>\n The only thing better than a fun time is fun combined with giving back, and a portion of the proceeds of the event will go to Bernie\u2019s Book Bank<\/a>. Families also are asked to be part of a giant book collection effort planned for that day, so if your kiddos are done with any books, please bring them and know that they’ll find a good home.<\/p>\n \u201cWe hope each family will take advantage of the opportunity to plug into our goal of providing books for a better life at this fun-filled event,\u201d says Jill Rosenberg, director of communications and marketing at Bernie\u2019s.<\/p>\n If you’re in Chicagoland, I want to hook you up with tickets to this fun event. Leave a comment below to enter to win a family four-pack of tickets. <\/strong>Let me know your favorite thing about spring, how you feel about the upcoming snow, or just say hi.<\/p>\n Enter by midnight on March 25.\u00a0<\/strong>I’ll randomly pick two comments as winners and will be in touch via email.
