Neapolitan Family Magazine is celebrating 25 YEARS of publishing our monthly magazine! Our first issue was in September 2000, and we are starting the celebration early with the August issue. Inside, you will find stories about our journey, including reflections from all of the publishers, a few legacy partners, and then-and-now photos from several cover kids.

Meet our cover kids on our 299th cover: Santiago (9)and Orlando (10)Arias, aka The Baker Boys. This homeschooled sibling kidpreneur duo started their own muffin business and sell their product at local youth business fairs and Biz Kidz Expos. Read how your child can start their own business inside. Issue link in the comments!
