Notes From Your Publisher
Wintertime Fun
Hopefully you are all surviving the deep freeze here in Louisivlle (and the snow days in Oldham County). I tried to pack this newsletter with things to do both outside in the snow and inside the warmth of your home.
About this time of year, the kids start bouncing off the walls. We've been playing a lot of board games this winter and really enjoying them. If you haven't dusted them off in a while, open up that game closet and see what's inside. For a hands-on ...

Photographing Babies
Tips From Kodak
- Shoot from your perspective
Document your interactions with your baby. Try including your arms in the photo as you interact with your child. If you’re giving them a bath, shoot from the angle you are really at in that moment. Capture things as realistically as possible and from the angle that only a parent sees.

Slime!
Anytime is Slimetime!
I couldn't wait until Halloween to share this fun craft. Anytime of the year is Slime time! Make pink slime and put into a small plastic heart containers for Valentines Day, or even in Easter Eggs instead of candy. I have used this recipe at my son's birthday party and sent the kids home with a small mason jar of their own slime to take home! This craft is really easy to make and the kids will have so much fun playing with it!
