Happy New Year!

Dear friends, Wow, I was just getting used to writing 2011 and now here we are entering 2012 already. Does that happen to you? I do feel excited about all the possibilities that lie ahead and I also feel proud, and even a little sad, about all that happened this past year being over. It reminds me of watching Lucy grow and feeling that wonder and amazement at all she is becoming, while still sometimes mourning a bit the days that will never come again. This past year our Party Day! DVD was such a large and fulfilling project. Also making the One Seed video (watch it on YouTube for free) with the wonderful Seventh Generation, creating our first ever animated video (Candy Cane Jane - all by ourselves!) and making our first ebook Party Day, Barnes & Noble's First Original NOOK Kids™ Read and Play™ NOOK Kids™ Book. It has cool animated parts and even some interactive games in it! These were all such new and fun undertakings for us. I really hope you've been enjoying them as well! As 2012 begins I wish you the SPACE for CREATIVITY to blossom in your lives, the time to SLOW DOWN and ENJOY the growth of your children, the OPENNESS to fully experience all the LOVE you have for, and from, your families, and the KINDNESS to FORGIVE yourself when everything seems like it's just too much. Oh, and Happy New Year! Love, Laurie
