Letter From the Publisher

Greetings, Another year has flown by! 2022 is just around the corner. But first, let's focus on the holidays, time with family, and what makes the holidays so special!

We are so lucky we get to live in South Florida in the warm weather! There are a lot of things to do both inside and outside too! We have compiled some of our favorite holiday activities to keep you busy during this spectacular time. I can't wait to take the kids to see a Holiday themed Laser Light Show at the Cox Science Center or walk around the Palm Beach Zoo at Night and see all the lights! Check out page 8 for all the Holiday and Winter fun to be had!

Another amazing thing about where we live is Manatees! Save the Chubby Mermaids! We are big fans of the manatees here at PB Parenting. I even have a Save the Manatee license tag! We are even more excited that FPL Manatee Lagoon is back open! You can learn even more about these gentle giants at their center. Go out for a walk with a "Manatee Master" and hear expert information. There is even storytime for the kids, yoga for mom and dad. Read all about it on page 12.

I hope you get to soak in some of this beautiful weather and enjoy the Holiday season. Happy Holidays and Happy New Year from the publishing staff at PB Parenting (Jennifer, Stephanie, Lynn, and myself). We are grateful for our readers and community partners that help make us a premier resource for parenting information in Palm Beach.

Happy Parenting,

PB Palm Beach County’s Parenting Resource Parenting
