Dear Readers …
ESCAPE FOR A DATE : SAVANNAH , GEORGIA
A Twist on a Classic Pie
In the year 2000 , a Tuscaloosa mom created Kids Life Magazine as a resource for local parents with the purpose of connecting them with family-friendly services , businesses and activities in our community , alongside content meant to be helpful and encouraging along the journey of raising children from birth through college .
Here we are , 144 issues later , entering our 25th year of serving Tuscaloosa ! The entire Kids Life Magazine team is incredibly humbled and grateful to our advertising sponsors who make this publication possible , and to our loyal readers whose trust we make every effort to earn . Thank you from the bottom of our hearts !
Happy 2024 ! XOXO
