Happy Earth Day to You and Happy Birthday to My Baby!

A Note From Your Publisher

By Jess Searcy April 21, 2020

Our youngest son turns nine years old today! Celebrating a birthday during this time of social distancing is certainly a new experience and one that we will always remember, I'm sure. Let's make those memories good ones! If you are looking for ideas on how to celebrate special occasions right now, we have a new birthday article in the newsletter today and a virtual parties article on the website now.

Cole requested M&M waffles for his special birthday breakfast in bed this morning. Yum! We'll be picking up his favorite Chinese take out and a cake for dinner to celebrate too. Our friends are going to decorate our sidewalk, sing "Happy Birthday" at a distance and send him some email messages to make the day a little more special. No party for us this year. Luckily, that was already (un)planned.

Happy Earth Day tomorrow! Search the website with the keyword "earth" and you will find several articles on fun ways to celebrate.

Have a great week!



Breakfast in bed has become a tradition for Cole's birthday!
