Letter From the Publisher
Greetings, I am trying not to freak out as I write this letter but in less than a week I will officially be a mom to a teenager. YIKES! Right? My oldest child turns 13 this month.
I am thankful we have made it this far and personally a little scared of the road that lays ahead. It frightens me that in just 5 short years, they will be officially an adult!
I often reminisce of an easier time for birthdays when the kids were little and you would pick your favorite play place, invite their classmates, grab a face painter or character for entertainment. Those were some of my favorite parties. Birthday Celebrations are still fun but a little different now that they are older.
To help you throw the BEST BIRTHDAY Party ever we have put together our 11th annual Party Planning Guide! Party planning doesn't have to be difficult and we have put the best spots in the area together. Check it out starting on page 16.
February is also a great time to remind your partner and your kids that you care about them! Valentine's Day is this month and we have some great ideas to include the kids in the celebration starting on page 8.
Finally, check out page 14 for a special announcement about our new edition coming to the Treasure Coast! PB Parenting is expanding our reach to the Treasure Coast area. Read all about it and meet our new Treasure Coast editor, Marianne!
Happy Parenting,
PB Palm Beach County’s Parenting Resource Parenting
