Sneak peek: The newest project from greenberries!

If you're anything like me, reviews help you make a lot of decisions. Just today alone I used 3 different review apps to help me find my breakfast, a good parking area, and a fantastic hole-in-the-wall dinner spot. I love to hear what other people like about a place, service, or professional, and I trust what other consumers and moms with like minds say about their favorites. I also love to share my thoughts and opinions and am thankful often that I live in an age of technology that makes it so easy to share and find these reviews.

Even more helpful are the "best of" style lists, Zagat, Best of D.C., Best of Baltimore, Best of Howard County, the lists are a great way to find a quickly recognizable destination of quality with minimal research time, a bonus when you're busy hauling kids and whatnot all over. Well the hauling kids all over part is what spawned our newest project; greenberries Presents: Local Favorites.

We want to hear from you, our awesome customers, clients, fans, about your favorite local resources and professionals in categories that are applicable to parents in our area. We want to have a monthly vote for one of twelve categories a year that helps showcase favorites like pediatricians, prenatal and birth care, playgrounds, restaurants, birthday party locations, entertainment, and more. Each month we'll open nominations for the category of the month and for two weeks, we want to hear from you! At the end of the two weeks, one of you, our readers and fans, who voted, will win a store credit from a random drawing. And the winning business or professional or location? They'll get a certificate, title of greenberries Local Favorite for a year, an interview with us for a video blog post, and a showcase in our yearly hall of fame. We'll continue this monthly and cover all twelve categories in a year's time.

We all love our favorites, let's share them with each other! Are you looking forward to our first vote? Me too! It won't be long now. Tell us in the comments, what categories would YOU be most interested in voting on?
