March Editor's Letter

Think back 10 years and remember how much you used technology. I used email and the Internet, but certainly not on a daily basis. As the years have progressed, technology has become woven into the fabric of our lives. Can you even imagine going through a single day completely unplugged? Before I take the girls to an event or location, I’ll jump online to get a feel for what to expect. When trying a new restaurant, I’ll take a peek at the menu before visiting. When I need a gift and don’t have time to shop? I just head to www.Amazon.com and voila! A gift arrives at the front door! Facebook allows me to see daily photos of my out-of-town nephew.

Three years ago, we revamped our website, www.KCParent.com. Since then, you’ve made it the go-to site for things to do in KC with your kids, as well as your one-stop shop for party planning, camp selection and educational needs. We’re proud that not only have we been able to serve you, we’ve also been recognized as the Best Parenting Website from the Parenting Media Association. In order to stay on the cutting edge, we are thrilled to unveil our re-revamped www.KCParent.com. You’ll still find everything you love on the site, along with many new features such as a fully searchable site for events, blogs, a calendar with 10x as many events as before, full interaction with Facebook and social media, a simplified subscription process and a searchable archive of articles from the magazines you’ve come to know and love. Check it out today!

March is one of my favorite months (and not only because yours truly celebrates a birthday). With the arrival of March, I feel like there is light at the end of the long, cold winter tunnel. It also brings our annual camp issue. Kansas City is filled with so many fantastic camp choices. Grab two copies of our March issue, one for you to look through and one for your child. You’ll enjoy mapping out a fun-filled summer with your kiddos!

Happy Spring, Kansas City!
