2013 Photo Event

Our most popular AP Month activity is back!

Celebrating our theme of parenting creativity this year, we’re asking to see your photos of your creative parenting! We’ll be asking for your photos each month on a different topic related to creativity.   Your photo should reflect the topic.

May Topic:

All creativity!  Send us your photos that illustrate your creative family and your creative parenting!  What do you do for shared creativity?

June Topic:

All creativity!  Send us your photos that illustrate your creative family and your creative parenting!  What do you do for shared creativity?

Summer Fun!  What activities do you enjoy most with your family?  Does your family have anything special they do during the summer?  Don’t forget to take your camera with you, you never know when you may happen upon the perfect photo op.

August Topic:

Was there a time when you did things differently, as a parent, and received an unexpected but pleasant result?
