Who’s the boss?
Hint: It’s not Tony. Ask any kids and they won’t hesitate to inform you, it’s Mom. The household CEO, the chef, chauffer, tutor, maid,
handy-woman, it’s moms that seemingly make the world go round. And they are down right proud of it. But that doesn’t mean they don’t
need help. Our readers turn to us with trust, knowing advice or tips found in our pages come backed with local knowledge and some
serious “been there” street cred. Our moms are front-line shoppers, decision making influencers, and according to Pew Research, control
purse strings to the tune of $5 trillion in consumer spending annually.

REVERED BY OUR LOYAL FANS
“Main Line Parent is the first place I look for recommendations
on just about everything -- vacation spots, date night ideas, new
restaurants (and of course, where to buy the best diapers at the
best price, delivered to my door in 24 hours thank-you-verymuch).”
“Main Line Parent has created more than a community; for many
moms it’s a ritual, a haven. A secure place where we can ask
questions, where it’s ok to be unsure of ourselves, and where we
can feel valued.”
Appreciated BY OUR CLIENTS
“Philadelphia Family is raising the bar for publishing in the
Greater Philadelphia region.”
“I wanted you to know that we got four really good prospects
from the Education Expo in the fall. Each family has visited our
campus and three are in the application process for this year.
Good stuff. You really have a great audience.”
“The biggest social network in the area for this audience.”
