Let's GLOW!! ✨ Come along with us for a first look at Aqua Lanterns at Clearwater Marine Aquarium! CMA reopened Friday night after a three-week closure due to damages caused by Hurricane Helene. This gorgeous display of lights truly represents finding light after dark. Despite the damages caused by the storm surge, the team at CMA persevered, determined to open this event for families like yours. The last few weeks have been incredibly hard for our community, but we are resilient, and we will rebuild stronger together. We will find the light. ✨ Miss out on Friday night's debut?? You can still experience this after-hours event this weekend on Saturday and Sunday from 6:30 pm-9:30 pm and then on Wednesday-Sunday evenings through December 30. CMA will reopen for normal business hours on Monday, October 21. #TampaBayParenting #ClearwaterMarineAquarium #TampaBay

Can't find solar eclipse glasses?? Don't fret!! Simply look DOWN at the shadows of tree leaves!! We captured this video during the October eclipse when we experienced about a 60% blockage of the sun like we will today. See how the leaves transformed into little crescents?? Trees are nature's pinhole camera!

Our Story

At Tampa Bay Parenting Magazine, it is our mission to promote happy and safe families. We want all families in the Tampa Bay area to get out and discover all of the amazing things our community has to offer and DO all of those amazing things together.

We don’t have to tell you. The days are long, the years are short. We only have a limited about of time with our kids, so why not try to enjoy every moment we can with them.

We have served Tampa Bay area families for more than 10 years. It is our duty to share family-friendly activities, but we are also here to connect you with resources in our community. Maybe you are searching for a new school or summer camp for your child. Or, maybe you are looking to read expert advice from our amazing team of local medical professionals, educators, professional writers, and curators of family fun! This is what we are here for.

We could call ourselves the premier resource for parents in Tampa Bay, but here’s the deal...we are in the business of collaboration. We are not the parenting experts. We don’t believe in so-called ‘parenting experts’ because every family and every child is different and it’s impossible for one single person to be an expert in all things ‘parenting’. We ARE, however, really great at connecting you to experts in their areas of expertise.
