Come over to the farm and celebrate Jeremy’s life by exploring the maze. Photography: Crystal Amen started her photography adventure four years ago; she specializes in all aspects of photography. Crystal has three young daughters that love to be her models when she isn’t photographing clients. Crystal lives in Anderson, CA, where she and her husband raise about 30 head of cattle. Check out her work on her website at crystalamenphotography.com It’s North State Parent’s anniversary! Each month for the past 26 years, it’s been our mission to bring families in the North State region the most current information about family life, healthy parenting and the abundance of local resources. As we move into our 27th year of publication, it’s a great time to recognize women in business. Many of our readers and advertisers are moms, and our special section, “Mamapreneurs,” honors several of these amazing women in our communities. We hope you’ll spend some time reading their profiles, learning more how they meet the challenges of combining family and business, and finding inspiration in their work. If you’re a woman in business (mom or not) or you’re considering becoming one, you're invited to the 2019 Annual International Women in Business Month Symposium, Friday, October 4 in Siskiyou County. Treat yourself! North State Parent is helping sponsor this inspiring evening. On October 12, from 3-7pm, join us in the maze at the annual Taste Of The Maze event at Historic Hawes Farms in Shasta County. And, join us for our annual Kids’ Farm Day & Family Safety Fair on October 19 in Butte County. Come as a vendor or participant — We’d love to meet and greet you and your family! All these events (and more) are listed in our monthly Going Places Family Calendar section starting on page 26. and the North State Parent magazine team Read about Moms from all over the North State that contribute greatly to their family as well as their own businesses.Pictured are Pamela and Ilana with baby Ayla.
