After one and a half years of trying hard to balance our magazine to include all age ranges, we are finally devoting a feature to pregnancy, giving birth, and babies in our January/February issue! If you have any great info or knowledge in any of these areas, please write us to let us know. We had a letter from a reader, Sarah Mangham, expressing her wish to help form a Tokyo-specific website for all things baby related. After meeting with Sara we decided to launch a new “Tokyo Babies” website on January 1st 2007. If anybody would like to join our small team of volunteer researchers, please drop us an e-mail. We’d greatly welcome help on this mammoth task! E-Mail: editor@tokyofamilies.com. We are also looking to recruit bilingual ad sales executives. If you are self motivated and a good “people person” please email: info@tokyofamilies.com.

Tokyo Families thanks Elizabeth Minahan for all the wisdom she has shared with us over the last year and a half in her “Hot Tips” column.
