The May edition of Little Rock Family hit stands last weekend. It's 72 pages of great information and resources for your family.

First, we're proud to introduce our Head of the Class: Top Seniors of 2010 section. These teens represent the best and brightest from the top schools in central Arkansas.  If you know them or their families, please congratulate them and wish them the best in their future endeavors.

This edition also contains our 2010 Guide to Birthday Parties We combed the area for new, creative ideas and came up with more than 70 resources for planning the perfect party. Plus, we’ve included an article on parties with a purpose, complete with a list of local nonprofit organizations for your family to consider when planning a service-oriented birthday party.

Be sure to post our monthly calendar in a prominent spot this month, as it's full of great information on festivals, outdoor activities, family events and more. My mouth waters at the mere thought of the Greek Food Festival and Riverfest. Can't wait!

And don't forget to register for the Windstream Youth Sports Expo. It's May 8 at War Memorial Stadium. Kids can participate in baseball, soccer, football, golf and basketball competitions and skills/drills sessions. A portion of the proceeds go to local youth sports organizations. Register online here.

Happy Mother's Day to all the wonderful mothers out there, especially mine!
