I can’t believe it is April already!  At the start of the year, I told you guys that 2013 on SocaMom.com was going to be a lot of fun.  We are now officially two years old and counting, and the blog has been pretty quiet in preparation for the anniversary of our official launch during Caribbean American Heritage Month in June.

We chose to designate April as Caribbean Parenting Month (Download the press release here:  Caribbean American Blogger, Eva Greene-Wilson Kicks off Caribbean Parenting Month, April 2013).

For this, the inaugural celebration, we will be highlighting Caribbean American families through profiles, articles, interviews, discussions, and family friendly events.  The achievements, innovation, and creativity that Caribbean people have contributed to their adopted countries all over the world that stems from a distinct style of parenting, Caribbean parenting, should be celebrated.  In the years since I established the SocaMom community of Caribbean parents, it has proven to be a resource for parents raising their children outside of the Caribbean who want to keep them connected to Caribbean culture.

SocaMom.com has a diverse following of parents and Caribbean culture enthusiasts from all over the world.  Many people who are not of Caribbean descent did not know about the unique aspects of Caribbean parenting, until they became readers of SocaMom.com. They are intrigued by the differences, and entertained by the often humorous similarities to their own households.  We have readers from the Midwest to the Middle East!

Each day in April, new resources will be added to SocaMom.com for our readers in honor of Caribbean Parenting Month.  We will be presenting new and interactive ways for our readers and members of the SocaMom community to get involved.

So how can you participate?  You can be a guest blogger, be a featured Caribbean family, invite friends to join you on Facebook, and more.  Subscribe to SocaMom.com updates to see how we are celebrating daily.
