Summertime always gives me a strong case of wanderlust, and our little family already has big plans! From a trip to Maine to meet up with my parents, followed by a few days in Montreal, to a family reunion with my husband’s side of the family in Deep Creek, Maryland, we are ready to do some exploring. In between these big excursions, we also love showing our 15-month-old Townes all the joys that Toledo and the surrounding areas have to offer through little day trips. When the weather is like this, we are on the go basically every weekend.
In the same vein, Toledo Area Parent’s July/August issue features our Family Favorites Winners, your choices for local things to do around town, your favorite businesses, and community leaders that you wanted to give a shout out to. We expect that it will inspire all of you to explore some of these popular spots in our region.
The rest of the issue is focused on support for new parents, from reflections on pregnancy loss with “Not Pregnant Poetry” to a roundup of midwives and doulas, it is a wonderful resource for wherever you are in your journey as a new parent.
Whether you are vacationing (like me) or staycationing with your family, I hope you enjoy your summer as much as I am.
With love,
Erin Holden
