Happy July!

We’re thrilled to bring you another issue of Forsyth Family! From baby purchases to make your life easier as a busy mom, to discovering another hidden gem in Forsyth County, to boating safety for toddlers and kids, and an article on one of downtown Winston’s must-visit dining spots… we’ve got something for everyone and plenty of ideas to add to your summer bucket list.

Summer is my most-loved season. Put me near any body of water and in the sunshine, and I am one happy girl. Summer also means ice cream season, and I’m always here for that! Trying out new, local ice cream spots is one of my favorite summertime hobbies.

A few must-trys:

The “Kernersville Krunch” Sundae at Whit’s Frozen Custard in Kernersville
The “Winston Worm” at Twin City Sweets
Mini Ice Cream Cakes at Gnarly Blends in Bailey Park
Sea Salt Caramel ice cream in a waffle cone at Kilwin’s at Thruway

This month is special! We’re celebrating a milestone birthday for my mom (KeeKee)! She turns 65 on July 15th!!!! She makes 65 seem like 35 with the amount of energy she has. I treasure our daily morning walks where we chat on the phone and make a game plan for the day. We call it our ‘morning meeting.’ She’s the epitome of “it’s never too late to follow your dreams!” She started LKN Magazine (the FIFTH magazine she’s started in her lifetime) at age 63 and has never looked back. I’m so proud of her and grateful to have her as my mom. Happy Birthday KeeKee, we love you so much!

Wishing you a month full of time with family and friends in the sunshine!

All my best,

Brooke
