Letter From the Publisher

Greetings, October is here! One of my favorite months! It's Fall! Ok, maybe, we can imagine it will be cooler if we close our eyes and drink our iced pumpkin spice latte. Another reason it is my favorite is all the fun activities and events that startup! Pumpkin parties, farmer's markets, fall festivals. There are lots of Fall and Halloween-themed activities to go and do this month! Check out all the fun on page 8. It is like one big party!

Speaking of a party! Check out our 10th annual Party planning guide! We love to celebrate birthdays, and there are some great options to help plan your little one's next birthday. Our directory is also on our website www.pbparenting.com yearround. So when you start the planning process, hop over for the latest tips, tricks, and fun spots to host a party in Palm Beach County.

Make sure to follow us online and sign up for our weekly newsletter at www.pbparenting.com, so you don't miss any fun in between our monthly issues.

A great way to connect with local parents is to join one of our Facebook groups! Palm Beach Moms, Palm Beach Parents (co-ed), and Palm Beach NICU Moms. Our groups are an excellent resource for local recommendations, advice, and fun events.

Have a Safe and Fun Halloween! Don't forget to post your cute or scary photos!

Happy Parenting,
