Our original theme for this issue was … drumroll … travel. As social distancing and actual travel bans became the norm mid-March, we decided to shift our focus away from activities that just aren’t safe right now. Don’t worry, we’re still going to dive into family-friendly traveling when the time is right.

Instead, as our families, our city, our state, our nation and our world began facing something unprecedented, our staff, as parents ourselves, felt the pull of a different topic. Our already planned mini features on mom’s mental health and self-care naturally presented themselves as full-issue-worthy topics.

So we shifted gears, and I hope that these topics are as helpful to fellow parents as they were to us. Through our Mother’s Day gift guide, our deep dive into mom’s mental health and our self-care quick tips, we challenge you to take just as good care of yourself as you do of your families.

Challenge accepted? I hope so!
