May 2025

Let’s hope those April showers bring May flowers! We’re heading into the peak of springtime here in the Pacific Northwest, and if you’re counting down to playground weather and fewer muddy laundry loads, you’re not alone.

In this month’s feature, we have a powerful and poignant article about a mom on a mission to help families swim safely after her own unthinkable loss. We also tackle this issue of toxic friendships between kids, and offer some vital expert advice for parents. 

On the lighter side, our May issue offers lots of ways to have fun! From robotics clubs, to an unforgettable family adventure in Santa Fe and so much more on our monthly Play List.

And be sure to check out our 2025 Summer Family Adventure Guide for more ideas for summertime fun, from dude ranch family getaways to the best local shaded parks. 

Get out there and have some fun!
