Drum roll, please. Charm City Moms is starting a new feature I hope you'll love. Every Thursday, with your help, I'll produce a roundup of great local parent destinations or ideas on a theme that you can use.

This will be a lot like the Top Ten Tuesdays on Elizabeth Large's wonderful blog, where I stole the idea got the inspiration for this feature. Sometimes our tip sheet will resemble her restaurant list, with the lowdown on great public playgrounds, old-time carousels, places to experience nature or grab an ice cream cone, sources for good-quality but affordable kids' clothes, etc.

Other times, I'll be looking less for destinations and more for, well, tips. Like themes for a 5-year-old's birthday party. Or ideas for helping your child's teacher in 30 minutes or less a week.

Now let me reiterate what I said before -- that this feature will depend largely on you. It just won't be possible for me to check out every destination or try every tip personally. The success of the tip sheets will depend greatly on your suggestions for the list. This will be parents helping parents; I'm here to bring it together and add some reporting to the mix.

Now that you've stopped jumping for joy over this new addition to our blog, it's time to vote. Do you any of the above themes appeal to you for our first Tip Sheet next Thursday? Or do you have your own suggestion? Speak up now by posting a comment below. Remember that even if yours isn't chosen, there's a good chance it will show up soon.
