On this month's episode of the PDX Parent Podcast, we interview Kat Merck, who went zero waste for a week, to get her tips; discuss whether it's possible to have stress-free birthday parties for kids; talk about what's going on with the high school graduation rates in Portland; review the brunch spot Kitchen Sink Food & Drink; and give our top event picks for April. Phew! Questions/comments? Email us at [email protected] thanks to our producer, Eric Klein!Find our birthday party article here: https://www.pdxparent.com/the-birthday-whirl/
