Read the May Issue of Staten Island Parent!
I don’t know who gets to pick when holidays happen, but they really nailed it with Mother’s Day. May is a magical month; flowers blooming, kids are heading off to prom and graduating, playing in championships and performing in recitals, backyard barbecues are back and everyone seems to be in a better mood as the days grow longer and warmer. It only makes sense to choose the most lovely time of year to celebrate the most important woman in your life – Mom!
Celebrate Mother’s Day with the people who made you a mom at an event from our Family Calendar (page 36).
This month’s cover mom, Latham Thomas of Mama Glow, has continuously honored mothers by educating doulas and nurse care managers, working to advance maternal health via community and academia, and more. She recently opened The Soft Space, where people can engage in well-being experiences. Latham gives us all the details of this new space and shares about watching her young adult son soar and why she is an open nester vs an empty nester (page 34).
Big news Witches, Wizards and Muggles. The Harry Potter Exhibition (page 36) “Sensory Sundays” will turn the lights down, lower the noise on specific dates! (page 30)
With summer around the cornerm you might still be narrowing down camps. Have you looked into a specialty camp? We have a unique camp we have a helpful roundup of Specialty Camps and Summer Programs (page 24).
Happy reading!
