Strength doesn’t mean walking the path alone. 🌿 
Our October issue of Ladera Ranch Neighbors is here, featuring local salon owner and mom, Heather Krohn, alongside her kids Kilian and Cash! Heather’s story is a beautiful reminder of the power of local connection—how neighbors, mentors, and friends can help carry us through the roughest waters and inspire us to lift others up along the way.

🌾 Ladera Ranch Neighbors | September 2026 Issue 🌊
Meet the cover family for this month: The Parsons Family! In our September feature, “From Cornfields to Coastlines,” Jim, Sarah, Lily, and Sadie share their story of bringing Midwestern charm, heart, and community dedication to South Orange County.
From school leadership and local philanthropy with the Shea Center and FAM, to navigating the proud “grown and flown” college chapter (plus plenty of love for their sweet pup, Lottie!), their story is a beautiful reminder of community, connection, and family roots.
Keep an eye on your mailboxes this week to read the full feature! 📬✨
