It used to be my opening chat with my mom in New York, or my bro<strong>the</strong>r in Los Angeles would start with “how’s <strong>the</strong> wea<strong>the</strong>r?,” but now it’s, “what are you paying for gas”? With that said, <strong>the</strong> idea of how to vacation cheaply is compelling us to think outside <strong>the</strong> box. One new idea for a quick getaway heard frequently around town is something called a “staycation,” which translates into a short mini-vacation no more than two or three hours from home. Perhaps an idea for an <strong>August</strong> mini “staycation” is right in your own backyard, with a nice cool drink in hand, curled up with <strong>the</strong> newest hot summer read and <strong>the</strong> latest issue of <strong>the</strong> <strong>Parklander</strong>. Inside this issue, you’ll be treated to a wealth of diverse information, from practical parenting advice to guidance on planning your upcoming nuptials to interesting profiles on local politicians running for Broward County Sheriff. With preparations for back-to-school underway (is it that time already?!), I know my five year old is going to be a bit stressed out. Although she’s been in preschool, Kindergarten is a completely different animal. She’ll have to wake up hours earlier (hard, since like me, my girl’s not a morning person), don a stiff uniform and be expected to pay attention in class. Like many of you with school-age children, I’m not exactly sure how to prepare her for this milestone, but thankfully, this month’s issue features articles designed to advise and help take <strong>the</strong> edge off any harried parent. Check out our feature on Back to School fashion where we’ll show you how to dress your child oh, so fashionably with <strong>the</strong> help of our local advertisers, and an article from a noted family <strong>the</strong>rapist on how to encourage your child to plan for a successful school year. Ever wonder where your teens are at night—you don’t have to worry anymore—read on to learn about <strong>the</strong> Coral Springs’ Teen Car Club, an after-school program designed to keep boredom in check and keep your kids out of trouble while providing <strong>the</strong>m with an exciting, creative outlet. Love is in <strong>the</strong> air! Meet our six newest couples and hear all about how <strong>the</strong>y met and planned <strong>the</strong>ir romantic proposals. As well, turn to page after page of cost saving advice from choosing <strong>the</strong> perfect banquet hall to selecting <strong>the</strong> right wedding bands to fun honeymoon fashions for <strong>the</strong> groom. Next month we’ll bring you <strong>the</strong> winners of <strong>the</strong> Biggest Loser’s Contest. Finally, after months of hard work, we’ll reward our contestants with fabulous prizes and feature <strong>the</strong>ir “after” photos in <strong>the</strong> magazine. We’re also excited to tell you of three new features we’re confident you’ll enjoy: a joy of photography feature, commencing with this issue; and, commencing in September, a decorating column offering sage advice from an internationally known interior designer and a unique crafter’s segment. Until <strong>the</strong>n, enjoy <strong>the</strong> rest of your summer. Best, Susan
