Hello, there!
How are you? How was your week? I am grinning because this week we launched Imagining Aloud, our all-orginial children’s audio stories. It’s always wonderful to create something new, and to finally have it in the hands of others is even better.
The response has been tremendous, we have been super busy getting ready for the launch and now are getting to enjoy reading emails from parents enjoying the stories with their kiddos.
As for the weekend, we’re expecting it to be quite low-key. Having a very belated birthday brunch on Saturday with a friend and hopefully watching some football.
Trying to tap the brakes on putting out the Christmas decor, but getting eager!
Today I thought I’d try something different. As I read articles and see various videos and products throughout the week, I think of how much I want to share them with everyone.
While I do use Twitter and Facebook for most of this, I understand some people don’t dig social media.
So, here’s a few items of interest that caught my attention this week. I hope you’ll find something interesting or useful here as well.
A liberating post on slowing down and being more mindful, even when you have a family.

And finally, we did an interview with Sharon of Rediscovered Families, which you can find here.
So what do you think? Did you find anything there that struck a chord? Let me know in the comments below.
