Hello everyone! As you most likely know our February Activities Email went out a few days ago, and I hope you’re all enjoying it as we speak. Nothing much to share here, already hard at work on the March email, we’ve found a few more fun things we want to put in the next email, making it longer activities wise, and hopefully not as long page wise. Sorry for the last one on that note, some of the instructions were longer than I intended, but I hope they worked out!

As far as the site goes, we’ve been making some content updates, and hopefully have some writers on tap to help start writing some content and such, and we’re still searching for good articles to link to for help/info on all things little/caregiver.

We have noticed that there are a few small issues with the site displaying correctly on mobile phones, and it’s on the list of things to do. For now though, it’s slow work, since the website still works fine, we’re not too worries about it, it just doesn’t look how we want, so some time in the next month we hope we can start ironing out what the issue with the display is.

Other than all that, not sure we have any updates for you really. Had an interest from a few people in maybe doing some drawings for us for the coloring pages, and as I said up there a bit of interest in some people maybe writing some articles for us.

Also, I have been hard at work finding the best way to make the coloring pages available to color using your phone or tablet for those who don’t have a printer for the coloring pages. I’m still working on that, and so far I haven’t found an easy way to do it. The best option I’ve found so far is SketchBook by Autodesk Inc. It works, and you can color it in, but it works best using the “Paint Bucket” option that we all know and love from MS Paint, lol. You can even export the photos for upload, but I feel that’s not the experience that most of you are looking for. I mean it gets the job done, but you don’t really get to color it in, and that to me is half the fun on it. If you want to check it out and see what I mean send me a message and I’ll be happy to send you what I’ve been testing with and you’ll see what I mean. And of course, at the end of the day it’s up to all of you, if you want to do it this way I can start prepping coloring packs for use in SketchBook and releasing them with the emails for those people who would rather use an app, or don’t have a printer. You can still export your colored photos, and send them in to the fridge if you want to do that, or export them and send them to friends. Personally it’s not quite how I want it, but if that’s good enough for all of you, then it’s good enough for me, just let me know your thoughts on it.

I will of course keep everyone up to date on any important updates and such, but for now I think that’s all I have to deliver. As always, any thoughts, comments, and suggestions are welcome and appreciated, feel free to drop me a line, I’m always around.

As always, stay safe, warm, and loved!!
