Parents to Know 2022

Being a parent is a ton of work. There are lunches to make, school projects to supervise, diapers to change, doctor’s appointments to make, and on and on. And while I love a good “40 under 40” post I also have a ton of admiration for people who maintain their hustle or chase new dreams as they get past that big 40 deadline that so many want to impose on us.

And that’s where Parent to Know comes in. We’d like to show you parents in our community–of any age–who are doing things that have caught our eye. For now, this is just a list, but each month we’ll be presenting a profile on these super-cool moms and dads and telling you all about what they’re doing in our community.
