I can’t help but reminisce at how far Bermuda
Parent has come. If someone would have told
me this is what I would be doing when I was in
high school or college I would have laughed
at them.
Bermuda Parent’s first issue was published 2
months after the birth of my second child and
in many respects it truly is my 3rd baby. I’ve had
to baby it, nurture it, feed it, discipline it, and as
a result I’m able to now watch it grow and mature.
I really didn’t know much about business when I started the
magazine neither did I have a background in journalism or commu-
nication. I’ve learned from the school of hard knocks and a number
of very special people along the way. Bermuda Parent has
proven itself as the go to resource for parents and
those who love children.
I am grateful for the people who have contrib-
uted in writing and photography,
as well as my awesome sales
team. Most of all I am grate-
ful for you, our readers and
our advertisers, who make it
possible
and worthwhile to con-
p.
tinue to publish, issue after issue,
year after year, and encourage us to contin-
ue to do better. I appreciate how readers tell
us that we’ve enriched their lives in some way
through our small contribution.
p.
Thank you for picking up this issue of Bermuda
Parent, and we hope you will continue to do so each quarter. We
remain committed to giving you a high-quality, local product!
Most importantly, thanks to my husband and business guide, Vic,
who convinced me to start this magazine and has been an encourage-
ment and a rock along the way. I hope I continue to make you proud.
Enjoy this issue!
Feeling Grateful
