I argue as a parent that May is truly the busiest time of the year. There’s so much to do to put a bow on the school year, appreciate those who have invested in your kiddos, plan summer and fall activities simultaneously… and that doesn’t include preparing and taking time to celebrate Moms and mom-figures, graduations and weddings, among many other activities. We have a family birthday the end of May and I find it just as difficult to remember to make his day special as for the child with a birthday in mid-December.
This month the Parade of Hearts are on full display around Kansas City. I truly love (yes, embrace the pun) this quintessentially Kansas City community tradition. Be sure to get out and see them in person with your family and submit your heart photos to KCParent.com for a chance to be featured in our June issue. I can’t wait to see your pictures! See our article featuring five of our favorite hearts!
There’s so much to celebrate in life, this month and around town. Don’t overlook a pause of appreciation for Mom and mom figures. Kim and Sarah have brought you some wonderful ideas, should you need them. Are you familiar with Walt Disney’s connection to Kansas City and the Midwest? Get yourself to Union Station to take it all in as we celebrate Disney’s 100th.
Don’t regret the things you didn’t say and do – choose to celebrate by carving out time for the words and moments and experiences that matter. Let love be on display in and through you this May in Kansas City!
Enjoy!
