Pdx Parent

This month Julia, Denise and Amy talk about how schools are responding to parents opting out of standardized testing for their kids. We also play the Birthdayland game from the PDX Parent Magazine and decide that Denise is the best mom to have if you're having a birthday. We also talk over Denise's review of Wildfin, a new restaurant in Vancouver and share with everyone our top January event picks. Listen for Julia's goodbye message at the end as this is the final PDX Parent Podcast.

Amy, Denise and Julia talk about how to get kids to be grateful and give back during the holiday season, plus road-trip hacks for winter travel in the Pacific Northwest.

Julia and Denise chat with Recipe File columnist Judith Rich about baby-led weaning, plus what families need to know about Oregon’s ballot measures and a family supper scorecard for Cully Central.

This month's episode features a how-hard-do-you-Halloween quiz, plus the facts about requesting an individual education plan (IEP) for your kid, a Family Supper scorecard on IBU, Southwest's Portland newest hot spot for pints and a play area, and our favorite family events for October.
