Yardley Living - Best Version Media

Yardley Living - Best Version Media The exclusive monthly community magazine for residents of Yardley & Lower Makefield, PA. Our family has lived in Bucks County our entire lives.

We share stories & content that bring people together and provide a unique way for local businesses to highlight their expertise and reach a highly engaged audience. In late 2016, we nearly moved across the country for career purposes. Then, we learned of Best Version Media, bringing communities together through hyper-local magazines. With backgrounds in marketing and media, and a deep love for ou

r community, it seemed like a perfect match to stay in the town we love. In the summer of 2017, Yardley Living was born! A year and a half later, we added Newtown Neighbors. Weโ€™d love to tell your story. Contact us for information.

Our Family Story

We met while taking a video course at the Community College, married in โ€˜88, built careers, and had kids later in life. In 2016, Heather was part of a layoff. A new opportunity came quickly, but required a move. It was hard to imagine leaving family, friends and community. We were also concerned a move would disrupt progress for our son with autism.

We found Best Version Media (BVM) created neighborhood publications in upscale communities across the US & Canada. Per Wikipedia, Lower Makefield is a Top 100 community for discretionary income. BVM planned to bring a publication here, knowing it would help local businesses target effectively. They needed a team to work in the community, develop content, find stories, and support sponsors. With backgrounds in marketing, media, video and content, it was a perfect match.

After much planning and effort, Yardley Living was born!

Our first issue mailed to homes in the Summer of '17 featuring the Mongiello Family, Yardley residents making a difference with their advocacy, while bringing hope to families facing ALS and other terminal illnesses. Since then, weโ€™ve profiled dozens of Yardley and LMT residents and local businesses.

100 Women Bridging Hope had the extreme pleasure of presenting our 4th quarter 2021 donation to the Father Center in Trenton, NJ. https://www.facebook.com/thefathercenter
The Father Center of New Jersey is an innovative community organization that believes that children grow best when father figures are involved in their lives. Some fathers face challenges that prevent them from being fully engaged with their children, and we are here to support them โ€“ including adolescents, juvenile offenders, and ex-offenders who are re-entering the community. We provide opportunities for growth and success in a safe and comfortable space.
Thank you to all the 100WBH members that donated to this very worthy cause and to the members that were able to show up on a very chilly afternoon for this photo! For more information on 100 Women Bridging Hope, visit our website www.100womenbridginghope.com

Greetings! We are not from the area, but are looking to order dinner and have it delivered to some good friends who just lost their father. Can anyone make a good suggestion/recommendations for favorite restrarants in the area for a nice family dinner? We can use UberEats as well. Thank you in advance!
