Letter From The Publisher Greetings,

As we settle into the rhythm of the school year, this issue also brings a special focus on one of life's greatest adventures, welcoming a new baby. Our Baby & Maternity Issue is filled with support, inspiration, and resources for families at every stage, whether you're preparing for your first little one or juggling the busy days of parenting multiples.

Inside, you'll find help for wherever you are right now. On page 6, local organizer and mom of two Amy Bergman shows how to build a diaper bag you can actually navigate one-handed, with smart picks and a simple system that works for both parents. For families further along, our look at the benefits of enrichment programs on page 18 explores how the right activity, during the school day or after, can build confidence and curiosity. Then turn to our Enrichment Guide on page 12, available year-round at www. pbparenting.com, to find the one that fits your child.

Parenthood is a journey that constantly shifts, from preparing the nursery to planning afterschool pick-ups, and we're honored to be a companion along the way. Remember to savor the little moments, lean on your village, and give yourself grace as you embrace the season you're in.

Three Gadgets That Made the Grade School is officially back in session, which means homework, video calls with study groups, and a phone battery that never quite makes it to dismissal. These three accessories have earned a spot in our house this fall. They are small, they travel well, and every one of them solves a problem you have probably already run into this month.

EZQuest USB 4 Dual Display 8-in-1 Hub, Pro Series One cable turns a laptop into a full workstation: three USB 4 ports, four USB-C Gen 2 ports, and enough video muscle for two 4K displays or a single 8K screen. It sends 77W back to the laptop, so the computer keeps charging while everything else stays plugged in. At 1.6 ounces with a detachable braided cable, it moves from the desk to the dorm room without a fight. $149.99, ezq.com Ohsnap Snap Grip Stand A 3.4mm magnetic grip that snaps onto the back of a phone and folds out into a 350-degree adjustable stand. Slim enough to leave on all day, sturdy enough to prop a phone up for a recipe, a video call, or a recorded lecture. It works with MagSafe and ships with an Android adapter, and the hinge is rated for roughly a decade of daily use. $49.99, ohsnap.com

Ohsnap Snap Pack A 5000mAh Qi2 power bank barely half an inch thick that clings magnetically to the back of a phone and delivers 15W wireless or 20W over USB-C, both at once if you need it. The dual-MagSafe design means other accessories still stack on top, and it sits comfortably under airline carry-on battery limits for fall break travel. $59.99, ohsnap.com

BY AMY BERGMAN A well-organized diaper bag can make getting out the door with a baby feel a whole lot easier.

But creating one that works doesn't have to mean buying the biggest bag or filling it with every baby item you own. As a professional organizer, I like to think of a diaper bag as a small, portable space that needs a system. The goal isn't to pack everything.

It's to make sure the things you need are easy to find when you need them.

of an investment, but the thoughtful design and construction make it a bag you can use throughout the diapering years and beyond.

Why I like it: With 15 pockets, including two insulated bottle pockets, it offers plenty of ways to keep everything organized and easy to access, and the elastic key leash keeps your keys from getting lost in the bottom of the bag. It's machine washable, which is a major plus with the inevitable Start With the Right Bag spills of life with a baby.

Feeding Zone: Bottles, burp cloths, bibs and other feeding supplies.

Baby Zone: Extra clothes, pacifiers, a blanket, comfort items and other age-appropriate essentials.

Parent Zone: Wallet, keys, phone, charger and other personal necessities.

Small pouches or zippered bags help keep these categories together, especially for smaller items.

The goal is to give everything a home so that both parents can quickly find what they need.

Remember, the diaper bag is a shared family resource, and a system that makes sense to both parents means less digging, less searching and fewer moments of "Where did that go?"

Pack for Real Life A diaper bag isn't just for the baby. Make room for the things that help Mom or Dad get through the day, too, whether that's your phone, wallet, keys,

charger or sunglasses. As your baby grows, revisit the bag regularly. Remove things you've outgrown, replace items you've used and adjust the contents for the season or your family's activities.

The best organized diaper bag isn't the one with the most stuff. It's the one where you can find what you need when you need it.

TRAVELS & Places to go Babymoon Bucket List: Where to Go, and What to Do, Before Baby Arrives

Before your world fills with lullabies, latenight feedings, and lots of love, take the trip. A babymoon does not have to mean a passport or a long flight. Some of the best pre-baby getaways are right here in Palm Beach County, close enough that you are never far from home, your doctor, or your own bed.

Close to Home - The Breakers in Palm Beach has oceanfront rooms, a full-service spa, and more dining than you can get through in one weekend make it easy to never leave the property, and the beach is a few steps from your room.

Worth the Drive - If you have the energy for a road trip, cross the state. St. Petersburg and Tampa sit about four hours west and pair 20 September 2026 | PB Parenting |

walkable arts districts and waterfront dining with some of Florida's calmest Gulf beaches.

Naples, closer at roughly two and a half hours, is all sunset views and slow mornings. Most providers clear travel through about 36 weeks, so check with yours before booking anything ambitious.

Skip the Suitcase - A babymoon can also be one unhurried day. Tour the Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse and Museum and take in the view from the grounds, spend a slow afternoon at the Norton Museum of Art in West Palm Beach, or hop the ferry to Peanut Island. Then head home, order in, and go to bed early.

Also check out resortpass.com to get a day pass to a nearby resort to enjoy their pool and amenities!
