I love this magazine. I have a very heathy,active 3yr. old son named Chance. His father and I love to do educational things with him and this publication keeps us aware of all the activities in the Metro Detroit area. Also, it is a very informative magazine regarding other concerns we have a parents of a young toddler; such as schooling info, health concerns and issues. Please keep up the good work and know that this magazine is truly a service to people in this area.
